Seattle–Tacoma International KSEA → Boeing Field KBFI

What do you do if the start and destination airports are just 5 nautical miles apart?

Of course, you take a little detour over Mount Rainier and watch the sunrise from up there!

But first, you’ve got to get up there …

Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport KMFR → Roseburg Regional KRBG

A calm day with barely any wind. In the evening, a few hot air balloons took to the sky. Just before sunset, I touched down in Roseburg with the trusty Cessna 172.

I learnt something important about Linux audio last night.

I noticed that I had no sound in X-Plane 12 (a flight simulator) while also being in a Discord call in Firefox. Apparently, certain FMOD applications check if PulseAudio is installed and fall back to ALSA if it isn't. Now, I have PipeWire installed to fix the mess that is Linux audio once and for all. So TECHNICALLY PulseAudio is not installed. And that's exactly what X-Plane detected, which then tried to gain complete control over the sound hardware through ALSA, which it couldn't.

The "fix" was to symlink `/bin/pulseaudio` to `/bin/true` to make it look like PulseAudio is available which tricked X-Plane into going through PulseAudio (and therefore through PipeWire) instead.

That was one of the weirdest problems I've ever encountered.
