Turkish to Kabul

Hello and welcome to my first 2026 post.

Now to start of the new year I decided to fly to my homecountry Afghanistan with non other than Turkish airline since they are one of the few international airlines that have resumed their commercial operation into Kabul since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

Now I know that most of you will be playing in the new beta for 26.1 but since it is still a beta and buggy I decided to hang around in 25.1 just because it’s more stable and enjoy the graphics while they still last.
