Still low clouds in my real world weather
After an aborted take off due to an engine fire (I had left the engines running too long, waiting to depart. And then when I opened up the throttles to the max, #2 engine caught fire) I was almost last. Gian returned to CGC to start FL, so he was actually last in the line at that moment.
Climbing through the clouds to go VFR on top. Not entirely legal
I soon found myself in CB with thunder (very lethal in reality, very high possibility of crashing, or an electrical failure in X-Plane). So I dove down to stay under the clouds at about 2000 ft. That also meant I had to follow the coastline in order to have a possible escape in case of another systems failure.
And yes: about half-way, my #2 engine quit on me again. With lots of rudder, and an airspeed of about 100 KIAS, I managed to make a pit stop at the nearest airport (which was surprisingly close by, and on my route
Having restored my power source, I climbed to what would be the highest altitude needed, this leg, to avoid terrain: about 7000ft. Beautiful, mist covered mountains
Descending into AYKY, I needed to make a very low approach. Some 15 nm at 500 ft or less, otherwise I would be in blinding clouds... Very difficult to descern, but the other guys are out there in front of me - at AYKY already.
Finally re-united with my brothers in arms
One engine fire, one engine stall - what's the next leg going to bring?
