Departed 07:21, landed 08:15.
Cruising Alt: 25,000ft.
I used the Buzz 737 as this could be what will replace the 732’s on the MAN route once they are sold. Also I don’t have an FR 732 model. Departed on RWY28 at Dublin after a short wait for some default AI traffic, then routing took me in a tight turn to bring me East, headed off the Irish Coast. Along the top of Wales, just over the tip of Anglesey. Decsended over Blackpool, circled round North of Manchester then made a visual approach to RWY24L (should really have made it an ILS, especially with the 5km visibility and 25kt cross-wind). The sun rose mid-flight, quite interesting. Followed behind a Pakistan 743 enroute from JFK-MAN most of the way, before accelerating and over-taking it. It then landed just behind me, as I taxied off the runway.
Very busy down on the ground at MAN as the various screenshots will show. No add-on scenery I’m afraid, my compiter struggles as it is!

Bigjet, the PAI traffic is free. Just requires a lot of time downloading every single airline package like I have, from their website! (www.projectai.com).

2,3 & 4. Slowing on the runway.
5. PIA 743 slowing down, as we taxi off runway.
