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!

    A big plus of small homes is that staff can encourage residents to do as much as they safely can on their own, then step in when needed. That’s exactly the kind of approach places like dementia care seem to support.

    Keep on working, great job! ## 文章 9:付費會員值得買嗎?——WPS
    免費版與進階方案全面評估

    考慮升級 WPS 會員前,有必要冷靜比較免費版與付費服務的核心差異。官方現行會員制度主要分為 WPS 會員、稻殼會員與超級會員三種階層,各自對應雲端空間、進階 AI 和專業範本等不同類型的資源。

    免費版已提供上述完整文書處理與 PDF 基本工具,且支援 1GB 的雲霧儲存空間。若是單純寫作業、整理資料庫,或撰寫一般日記的個人用戶,根本難以用滿限制。但與此同時,WPS 進階服務吸引人之處為更大容量的雲端空間(某些方案達 100GB 以上)、高效的 AI 語音轉文字月額度,以及高達六萬種的「稻殼專業範本」與圖庫。這些素材對廣告設計或報告策劃等專業人士確實非常可口。

    其次,WPS 辦公套件被許多中大型企業採納,主要看重多帳號團隊管理功能。借助付費方案的群組權限分享與安全協作機制,能降低資安風險並提升文檔流轉效率。然而,學生族群或小型家教班如無大量灌入數位素材的需求,免費版實已高度完整。實際上,關於「付費牆封鎖所有功能」的誤解多半來自未啟用離線模式;正確調校後,免費版仍能獨立執行標準的編輯或排版任務。

    若使用者感覺範本需求較大,可以考慮先以低價體驗短期會員。如果是希望享受新穎 AI 功能的技術愛好者,WPS AI 的基本服務同樣開放免費版,完成些許靈感激發綽綽有餘。底線在於,付費並不能為所有人提升實際產值。仔細盤點日常任務,如果不會天天製作專業級手冊或匯出海量高解析度圖檔,那麼 WPS Office 繁體中文免費版的設計容量應已足夠。

    ## 文章 4:WPS Office 2026 最新功能詳解——全面提升辦公流暢度

    在辦公軟體領域,持續更新代表穩定與信任。WPS Office 繁體中文免費版針對 2026 年帶來了多重重大升級,不僅最佳化舊有功能,更加入使用者期盼已久的
    Markdown 直接編輯與多維表格引擎。

    首先,最受矚目的新功能之一是原生相容 Markdown(.md)格式。根據官方公告,在 WPS 雲文檔中可直接開啟、編輯並即時預覽 Markdown 檔案,同時提供左側語法編寫、右側即時呈現的分屏模式。使用者完成編輯後,可一鍵另存為
    Word、PDF 或圖片常見格式,無需再頻繁切換外部文字編輯器。官方測試指出,透過這項整合,過去需耗費數小時的技術文件編校流程可大幅縮短至約十分鐘。

    同時,新版 WPS Office 引入新一代多維表格引擎,以及新增 AI 模型與關聯性資料篩選功能。在多任務操作時,文件啟動速度與跨文件編輯流暢度明顯改善。根據官方測試版本 25860 的更新資訊,新版針對 PDF 協作與合併列印也有極大增強,對於需要大量處理學術 PDF 的學生或法律事務的行政單位來說極度省時。檔案資料導入資料透視表(PivotTable)的穩定性也大幅提升,避免因記憶體不足或格式跑位導致資訊錯漏,相當適合財務人員進行營運對賬。

    此外,WPS Office Windows 版持續優化 64 位元架構,並對「輕文檔」界面進行改版。簡潔風格可更便利區分各類文件格式,使用者參考視覺提示便能快速決定建立在線表單或純文字記錄。另一個讓人欣喜的改進是「智慧重用幻燈片」,現在可以在知識庫或企業文檔中快速搜尋和套用符合關鍵字的 PowerPoint 頁面,縮短資料收集時間。整體來說,WPS Office 2026 年的躍進不僅在於表面 UI 更新,更核心的是一切為了保障文件處理與跨部門溝通更流暢。免費版使用者普遍能夠享受這些穩定性及相容性升級,大幅提高日常工作幸福指數。
