🛫 MSFS 2020 | virtual Cessna 172 over Tatras 🌄 Wild winds, mountain climb & perfect touchdown 🇸🇰

Kicking off in bright early morning skies, this flight takes my virtual Cessna 172 from Sliac to Poprad in Slovakia. The moment I pushed throttle, the wind threw me around the runway—tiny Cessna barely held its own. 🌀

Then came the real challenge: climbing over the mighty Low Tatras and High Tatras! 🌄 I flew dangerously low, scraping mountain ridges, full throttle all the way—barely making it across. Thank goodness it wasn’t night, I’d have crashed for sure!

After a full hour trimmed to 9 minutes, I reached Poprad–Tatry Airport where the wind howled like mad—but I stuck the landing! ✈️💥 One of the most intense flights I’ve ever done.

🛠️ My DIY cockpit features:
🎮 Saitek yoke & rudder pedals
📻 Dual radio panels & full nav/autopilot controls
🎚️ Two throttle quadrants & switch panel
🖥️ Two touchscreens running Air Manager
🌀 Two knobsters for smooth instrument control
🪚 All in a home-built setup made from scrap plywood and 3D printed parts!
