Microsoft Flight Simulator released a free update that Brings Czepiela\u2019s Achievement to the sim. The Red Bull Bullseye Landing Challenge puts pilots in the modified Red Bull CubCrafters XCub with the opportunity to recreate the achievement of landing on the helipad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-2023.08.03-21.19.11.74_Trim_Moment2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26339\" width=\"310\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-2023.08.03-21.19.11.74_Trim_Moment2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-2023.08.03-21.19.11.74_Trim_Moment2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><figcaption>On approach to land on the helipad<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my years of playing Microsoft Flight Simulator I\u2019ve certainly attempted some challenging features\u201c\u2026some may call it something other than challenging though&#8230;.But hey, sims give us the opportunity to teach us what we <del>can<\/del> shouldn\u2019t do and what we <del>can\u2019t<\/del> definitely shouldn\u2019t do. So when I saw they created an official challenge for the Red Bull Bullseye Challenge, I was immediately excited to give it a run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I began my first few attempts at recreating this achievement, I quickly encountered a number of ways on how not to do it. When I finally nailed the landing, I still ended up braking too heavy and placing my nose on the deck\u201c\u2026a failed landing. But I eventually landed it successfully with a straight on approach, teetering on the balance of just enough power without stalling out. I also found an approach from below the deck that stalls out the aircraft right as I get over the helipad that worked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Bullseye Challenge was very enjoyable to attempt and successfully complete. I also had fun finding a variety of ways to approach a successful landing while also learning what not to do at the same time.  For those thinking about checking it out, it&#8217;s an easy challenge to recommend but certainly a hard one to master! Let me know if you do end up giving it a try on social! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few looks at my successes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Red Bull Bullseye Landing Challenge - Multiple Attempts in Microsoft Flight Simulator\" width=\"648\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IDFfXIGL5ZI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Bull is certainly associated with some pretty spectacular achievements when it comes to flying.
