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!

    有时你会发现电脑上的消息比手机慢很多,甚至少了几条对话。这通常是同步机制出现问题。下面是几种有效的修复方法。

    **方法一:检查手机网络**
    WhatsApp 网页版依赖手机进行消息中转。如果手机网络差,电脑端会延迟。将手机切换到稳定的 Wi-Fi 或 4G/5G 网络。

    **方法二:开启多设备模式**
    在手机 WhatsApp 的“已关联设备”中启用“多设备测试版”。开启后,即使手机关机,电脑端仍可正常收发消息,同步也会更及时。

    **方法三:退出并重新登录**
    在电脑端点击菜单 > 退出,然后重新扫码登录。这通常会强制刷新同步状态。

    **方法四:检查是否被静音或归档**
    某些聊天如果被归档或静音,在网页版可能不会主动显示。可以在搜索框中输入联系人名字查找。

    **方法五:更新浏览器和 WhatsApp**
    老旧版本可能存在同步 bug。保持软件最新能避免大部分同步问题。

    如果消息仍然缺失,可以尝试在手机端手动“备份聊天记录”,然后在网页版强制刷新(Ctrl+R)。

    People call me Mike, a regular guy from the USA, and back in 2018
    I accidentally discovered one of the most bizarre sports I had ever seen: car jitsu.

    In case this sounds unfamiliar, you are not alone. The entire concept sounds like a joke.
    Two competitors climb inside a small car and try to
    control each other while being trapped between the cramped interior.
    Yes, really. In most sports you have a ring, but in CarJitsu
    your battlefield is a car cabin. That is what makes it so weird.

    The sport has tournaments, championships, local events, and exhibition matches.
    Participants gather from various regions and try to prove who can master the unusual format.

    Different from most athletic competitions, every movement is limited by the tight
    space. This leads to funny situations. One second someone looks like a champion, and the
    next second they are trapped near the steering wheel.

    Back then I was heavily interested in competitive sports. I watched many sports events every week.
    I also spent time reading about betting markets. Many sports fans I knew compared sportsbook offers.
    Sometimes names like 1xbet would appear in conversations about major sporting events,
    although CarJitsu was usually too strange to be the main topic.

    One night I saw a short video online. At first I thought it was satire.
    Full-grown athletes were trying to grapple inside a parked car while spectators were going crazy with
    excitement. I laughed so hard that I couldn’t breathe for a
    moment. Yet the more I watched, the more fascinated I became.

    Not long afterward, I found a local event and decided to watch in person. The crowd energy was amazing.
    There were fans discussing all kinds of sporting topics.
    Some people even joked about which athlete would be the favorite if a sportsbook ever offered odds
    on the matches.

    Watching was not enough. I signed up for beginner training.
    The first training day was hilarious. I hit my head on the roof,
    got stuck near a seat, and accidentally opened
    a door at the worst possible moment. The coaches laughed.
    Yet I kept coming back.

    Week after week, I improved. I learned how to use technique and movement.
    The cramped cabin became my arena. Soon I was entering local competitions.
    My friends thought I was completely crazy. Whenever someone asked what sport
    I practiced, the conversation usually went like this:

    “CarJitsu.”

    “What is that?”

    “Imagine wrestling inside a car.”

    “You’re joking.”

    “No, that’s the actual sport.”

    The craziest match of my career came later. My opponent
    was massive. He looked like he could bench-press a refrigerator.
    Before the match started, he smiled and said,
    “Good luck.” I knew trouble was coming.

    As soon as the fight started, chaos exploded. We bounced between seats, bumped
    into doors, and nearly tangled ourselves in everything inside the vehicle.

    The crowd was roaring. Spectators were going crazy.

    Then came the moment I will never forget.

    My opponent grabbed the belt hanging beside the seat and accidentally turned it
    into what looked like a dangerous rope. As we struggled for position, the belt snapped across the cabin and wrapped around me in the strangest way imaginable.
    For a second I thought, “This is it”

    He pulled, I twisted, the seat belt locked, the
    door opened slightly, and both of us somehow ended
    up tangled together like two confused octopuses. The audience was laughing so hard
    that some people could barely stay in their seats.

    The scene was unbelievable.

    For a brief moment, I genuinely thought my
    opponent was going to flatten me. Fortunately, the officials quickly intervened
    when things became unsafe, and the situation was resolved without serious injury.

    Afterward we both burst out laughing. The crowd applauded.
    Even today people who were there still talk about “the seat belt incident.”

    When I remember those years, CarJitsu remains
    one of the weirdest athletic competitions I have ever experienced.
    It gave me great memories and incredible experiences.
    Whether people are discussing sports culture and competition, very few things create reactions like CarJitsu.

    Whenever someone asks me about unusual sports, I always tell them about the day I climbed into a
    car in 2018 and accidentally became a CarJitsu competitor.
    Most people laugh. But after hearing about tournaments, athletes, training sessions, sports fans,
    betting conversations, sportsbook discussions, and
    my unforgettable seat belt battle, they usually agree on one thing:

    CarJitsu is wonderfully ridiculous.
