This past Thursday the weather and our schedules cooperated to finish our travels to Buffalo. Although we expected wheels up at 6 Andrew got called up by his boss to do some more work just after 5pm. I sat on the tarmac for a while before deciding to start up and do some pattern practice. I listened to ATIS and it told me the winds were 19kts – haha WAT. Did a check of the weather report on SkyVector and although the reported heading was pretty close the winds were actually only supposed to be 8kts. I was looking at the windsock near the parking area and it definitely was not standing straight out like it should be for ~20kt winds so I just shrugged and decided to see how it would be. Took off, flew a decent pattern with a better rollout to final and landed. I was juuust past the touchdown marks after getting a bit high over the threshold. Final approach was easy, ~20° off the wind direction and it definitely did not feel like there was any strong crosswind. Checking my landing report (nice and soft, baby!) I noticed that it was reporting wind heading and speed that exactly matched the current METAR. So the sim weather was right the ATIS was wrong! Interesting…

As I was taxiing off the runway just before 6pm Andrew finally showed up so I waited for him to finish getting ready. Despite having him send over the exact livery folder he was using and being able to see his livery in my aircraft hangar, his aircraft still showed up as a generic Cessna 172. Will have to continue looking into that but no time now. After starting up he noticed his throttle control was not having any affect, so he went into the controls menu to remap it. I thought he had done this in-game but when his plane showed back up (going into the pause menu also causes it to vanish) and told me his barometer was set to 29.92 I had a feeling he had instead backed out to the main menu. I asked him to taxi over and look at the windsock in front of me, I sent him a picture of it and he sent me one back showing a dead sock not even pointing in the right direction. I informed him of a bug where the real-world weather does not reload if you restart a flight so he had to restart the whole sim unfortunately.

Flight plan is available here, this is the second leg.

Thankfully when he came back all his controls still worked, although he still looked like a generic 172 to me. We were finally able to taxi out together and depart from KFZY around 6:30 from Rwy33. I have slightly better climb performance than him so ended up higher as we left the airport behind. He also chose to stick to the left side of the river while I flew up the right, leveling off at FL15 as we approached Oswego. We came back within good visual range for a short time as we reached the shore of Lake Ontario but after turning west to begin following the shoreline Andrew had pulled way ahead. Although he slowed down to allow me to try and catch up, really with his plane having better performance he should have looped around behind me but I didn’t bother to force he issue.

Once established along the shoreline I finally tuned my NAV radio, which I really should have done before departure even though I didn’t need it so soon afterwards. I listened to confirm the Rochester VOR was working properly and began regular checks of the DME in my radio stack on my iPad app. Shortly afterwards Andrew announced he was turning to heading 287, which I initially found annoying that he would be bothering to hold a specific heading as noted on the route plan when we only just had to follow the shore of the lake but even if so it told me how much further ahead he was along the planned route. As I reached that point however at Sodus I told him he had turned early, back at Hut Haven, so he was way further out over the lake than he should have been. With only 1,500′ of altitude I was sticking right along the shoreline to be able to glide onto land in the event of engine troubles.

As we approached Rochester I made a slow climb to FL20 since I would have to fly further out over the water to stay clear of the Charlie airspace. Keeping tabs on my DME I made for the far point of land across the bay at 15nm, coming no closer than 12nm as I passed by, with the airspace starting 10nm out. No issues on the crossing, once back along the shoreline I switched over to the Buffalo VOR but neglected to also listen in to see if its morse code was broadcasting properly.

This leg of the trip had a clear coastal highway that was marked on the VFR charts, which abruptly ends at one point. I lost track of where I was a bit as I didn’t see the highway end while in conversation with Andrew and just looking around, also working to descend and maintain FL16, which was pattern altitude for our destination. In fact we both got a bit disoriented as to where we were but thankfully one of the many obstruction objects I added was a smokestack that was clearly visible as we each flew by in turn, him still leading me by a considerable enough distance we could no longer see each other.

Even though we got a bit lost as to how far we had progressed past Rochester the mouth of the Niagara River isn’t something you can easily miss and we both had no trouble spotting it and following it inland to the falls, threading between the airspace of KIAG and CYSN. Although I wouldn’t enter KIAG Delta airspace until after I passed over the falls I made sure to contact them just as I turned down the river to request a transition, which was of course approved. Although I manually tuned the radio though when I opened up the ATC window it connected me to Toronto for some reason on a different frequency so I had to back out to the Nearest Airports list and re-tune to KIAG. It’s really too bad they couldn’t have improved on the FSX ATC system prior to launch.

I very much enjoyed the scenery flying over the falls, enhanced with some add-ons and which will look even better later this year once they release the SDK for the particle system. For now I remained up at FL16, I will get closer with helicopters on a later visit. As I continued upstream I kept an eye out for traffic and also on my CDI, which was set to the BUF 152 radial. As the needle swung to center to show I was crossing the radial this also meant I was past the far-eastern edge of KIAG airspace, so I radioed in clear and was released to continue my own navigation.

Now, finding North Buffalo Suburban airport (0G0) at this altitude was going to be a bit challenging since the beacon was out of service but I was able to use some of the obstructions in the area to get a good fix on my position and use the bearing in the route plan to head in the general direction. Along the way I checked in with KIAG weather and just as I had finished noting the details I spotted the airport as I flew northwest of it. Whoops! Wrong side! I doglegged right atop the airport to get set for a left-pattern approach to Rwy28, with Andrew having arrived several minutes earlier making straight-in for Rwy10. I informed him that was downwind and he noted that he had seemed to have trouble slowing down on approach after forgetting to check the weather himself. Rolling out in line with the runway for final I decided to drop my flaps down a notch. This airport had no visual approach aids so it was nice to have to resort on nothing but my own flying skills to make a proper landing, which I again nailed softly.

You can see the whole flight with this Google Earth KMZ.

Overall the flight for me went as planned. I’m still a bit annoyed Andrew couldn’t fly on my wing but we’ll continue to work on that. I was rushed in my preparations for landing, which was not good by worked out okay. Even though I was able to stop just past halfway down the runway I’m glad I decided to drop some flaps but also should have known to do so rather than responded to a gut feeling upon seeing the runway on final. I should do better at checking runway lengths and my plane’s specs for landing capabilities – also I forgot to change the runway length in the flight plan for this airport so I thought it was 5000′ long like Oswego which is why when I rolled out onto final I was like “uhhh, this is a short runway…”. Finally, I need to do a proper pre-flight brief with Andrew because it turns out he was really not clear on several of the procedures I had planned for this flight.

Tomorrow I hope we can make the whole hop from Buffalo to Cleveland!

    Here’s a quick share of how Jane ended up using Paybis to move her
    money from her bank into crypto and then straight into her trading account, and honestly, her whole story turned out way more unexpected than anyone
    thought.

    Jane isn’t your regular crypto newbie.
    Fun fact: she collects tiny vintage globes and has exactly 27 of them
    lined up behind her desk. Another random thing is that she can solve a Rubik’s cube in under 40 seconds.

    So when she discovered Paybis, she approached it
    with the same energy — fast, efficient, and determined.

    As she told me, she wanted a platform that
    wouldn’t “fight her back,” because her bank is already stressful enough.
    Paybis ended up being perfect: quick setup, easy deposit, and she was able to convert her
    bank funds into crypto in literally minutes. She laughed saying it was easier
    than ordering sushi.

    Once the crypto hit her wallet, she jumped straight into her trading platform — no delays.
    And because she’s Jane, she turned it into a personal speed-challenge.
    She timed every step, and of course, she made
    a whole spreadsheet about it. Fun fact: Jane has 38 spreadsheets for her hobbies.

    What surprised her most was how Paybis didn’t overwhelm her with complicated
    menus. She likes things simple — after all, she once returned a coffee machine because it had “too
    many buttons.” So the clean process from bank →
    crypto → trading felt like a win.

    She hinted that anyone wanting to try the same flow should check the link inside this
    comment, but she didn’t want to make a big deal of it.

    Just said it might be helpful.

    In the end, Jane’s whole experience using Paybis was
    smooth, surprisingly fun, and very “Jane-style” — structured, quirky, and full of little experiments.

    For anyone interested, she said the link in the comment explains
    everything a bit deeper, but that’s totally optional.

    Very good post. I am dealing with some of these
    issues as well.. 广州外围圈2026深度剖析:湾区速度与本地化陪伴的完美结合(约1000字)
    广州外围市场在2026年继续保持华南地区最活跃的地位。作为粤港澳大湾区经济引擎,广州的外围生态深受跨境商务、会展经济与本地消费升级影响。外围在这里的核心卖点是“高效+亲切”:平均30–45分钟上门响应时间得益于发达的地铁、高速与共享出行网络,天河珠江新城、海珠琶洲、白云国际机场周边成为黄金区域。
    资源构成高度多元化:约40%为在校/应届大学生与留学生(港澳生占比显著),30%为白领OL与车模,20%为网红/短视频创作者兼职,剩余为成熟型熟女或艺术圈人士。广州外围强调“本地女友感”——服务者多精通粤语、潮汕话、客家话,能轻松聊起早茶、夜宵、广府文化,甚至陪客户逛太古汇、天环或北京路步行街。这种文化嵌入式陪伴让广州区别于其他城市,更像“付费本地伴侣”而非单纯交易。
    价格体系在2026年相对稳定但分层加剧:基础伴游(2–4小时)约2800–5500元,全天或过夜8000–15000元,顶级“空降资源”(港澳/东南亚飞穗模特级)轻松突破2万。受大湾区经济复苏与港澳周末客流增加影响,“跨境空降”需求同比增长约25%,许多服务者周末从香港、澳门或东莞“飞”过来接单。
    监管环境持续收紧,传统微信群、朋友圈逐步转向Telegram频道、私密小程序或加密社群。2026年,AI辅助筛选(如语音/照片初步匹配)在广州外围圈普及率最高,客户可通过匿名小程序预览资源、查看真实反馈。参与者风险意识增强,许多服务者采用“只面到付款、不留真实信息”的原则。
    未来趋势看,广州外围将继续受益于湾区一体化:随着深中通道、广深港高铁优化,跨城资源流动更便捷;同时,伴随Z世代客户占比上升,“精神陪伴”需求(如陪聊元宇宙、游戏、职场压力)将超过单纯身体需求。该市场虽竞争激烈,但“接地气+高效率”的定位使其在中国一线外围中独树一帜,预计2026–2028年仍将保持15–20%的年增长。
