You guys might wanna watch out for this. Roll Eyes Tongue
Ok: KLAX (Las Angeles International) to KASE (Aspen Airport, Colorado). This is a SUICIDE FLIGHT!!! Took off at 1:14 p.m. on December 18th. Shortly after takeoff a Soar Airlines MD-80 barely missed my Learjet 45. He was no more than 500 feet above me and maybe 1000 feet in front of me. A close call, but no biggie right? Well no sooner was I at cruise altitude than I was coming close to a 747. Not wanting to be chopped suey, I took a little crap from ATC and descended to avoid it. Back at cruising altitude, I barely missed a MD-80 cruising along. Sheez, this is getting bad! "Learjet 7 Bravo Alpha, descend to 17000, then 15000, then 13000" I am in the clouds, on final, ATC had me too high and I almost hit a mountain, luckily I had the visibility up a little bit and saw it early. Gauges all froze up, icing and heat on and that was ok after a sec... Was going to overshoot the runway, but spoilers fixed that. Came down only to "Crash-Aircraft Collision" DAMN CESSNAS!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS FLIGHT!!!

P.S. M$ really jacked up the elevation of the Aspen airport. In reality, it's only at about 7,000 feet. In the game it's well above 11,000.

Warning?  That sounds like a challenge.  What was your flight plan (VOR/GPS, altitude)?

Plan was high altitude airways, with the original LAX fix point taken out, and I went 33,000 feet. And somewhere along the trip I fixed the date in the sim, it was set for spring, so you'll have to match all that to get it. Tongue
