i was on multiplayer and i joined a server made by a flying freind(we often fly together) and it was props,so me with my own cessna paint,but i did not know that we where going to land at airports at about 9000-10000 ft (tellirude and a big grass strip airport nearby) so i was struggeling to keep at 10000.
i had to cruise with flaps! and i am always last and this time it was even worse since they where in barons,carravans and i think a king air(and some lunatics in jets) going 180 while i rarely went above 60.
and i had to taxi at like 95% throttle!
anyways four shots i took while flying to tellirude(autopilot so i could cruise a bit easier and without flaps) one with nice weather, the other one with clouds,another one in the evening with clouds and the other one after landing.

Cool shots......looks like fun Cool Cool
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Nice shots. But I'm curious to know why you had such throyyle and speed problems.

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

it was a high alt and i dont think a cessna 172 is made for landing and takeoff at around 10000 ft, and it was rellatively warm weather as far as i could remember,but once you get going there is no problem in cruise,i just needed to do a bit of speeding up in the valleys before i could go back to 10000.
