Hi Guys, I have done the flight now and I am uploading pics today. Cheers

Apologies guys, but had a major crisis with my PC today. Don't know what the problem is but when I try to open anything it says I am trying to open almost everything on my system at once. Will try to get it sorted tomorrow and fly my leg of ATWC. Watch this space.

Ah Well! Thanks to Gareth doing a great job with his vid' I am now left holding the Baton. Well guys, I am going to do the flight - Leg 29 tomorrow (Thursday) and will have the pics up, hopefully either Thursday pm or early Friday. Couldn't find any decent scenery for PGUA or RJOB so it's FSX default I'm afraid but I will be using REX for some special cloud effects - Hopefully. Cheers for now Needles

Thanks Mutley. I too have exhausted all the sites that I normally visit for such things. I too am still looking and still got a little time left.

Hi Guys, I am anxiously waitin for my flight on leg 29. Can anyone let me know where I might find some detailed scenery for Anderson AFB PGUA and Okayama RJOB. I would love to get these before I take on the Baton. Hope you can help. Regards

Well done and what a bird! Looking forward to leg29. Excellent screen shots. :great:

I can't say for sure but as a Photoshop user myself, I would say it's quite simply a brush effect using Photoshop CS. Regards Needles

Hi Rob, Thanks for the confirmation of my leg of the flight. Can't wait. Cheers Needles

:smile: Now that I've finally sorted my password out, the new forum layout looks great. Well Done Joe. Bliadhna Mhath Ur - pronounced - Blee a nah - Vah - Er. Which is Scots Gaelic for Happy New Year. :great:

:vulc Nice shots and a pretty nice machine too well done SWVA7337.

Nice shots Rob, well done. It may have been me in the Cessna :clap: I like the smaller aircraft at the moment :poster_oops:

Great shots Rosario, good commentary too. Nice family shot too well done. :clap: Regards Needles

Hi Rosariomanzo, Thanks for your comment, much appreciated. The Heli' is FSX Default 'Agusta Westland EH101' Civilian Livery. Regards Needles

Thanks for your comments guys. Fighterpilot - I maxed out at 15000' then made my way through the colls. The Alt' on the first pic was my altitude from the Vanas waypoint to LFLJ. Wisemanp - Spot on! Didn't think anyone would actually spot it. I was a little tongue in cheek eh! Rob - Sorry for wussing out on the fixed wing approach but will attempt it later and post some more pics. I am hoping to get FEX for xmas so I may wait til then, but thanks guys. I enjoyed it.

Thanks Reef for your comments and NO thanks. I have tried seveal landings in fixed wing at LFLJ with varying degrees of success. When I do manage to do it safely I will post some screen shots, until then thanks for the opportunity to do this flight. Regards

Hi Guys, Here is my account of this hairy flight from LOWI - Innsbruck to LFLJ - Courchevel. Hope you like what I have done but apologies for a fairly simple flight during daylight as I was afraid to tackle the landings during an evening flight. Enjoy. Explains everything I think. Fuelling at Innsbruck ready for a tortuous climb out. Climbing out and up. You have to make altitude fairly quickly in this valley. On my way now. Returning over LOWI after making my altitude. Bye Bye Innsbruck. Have to make it over that ridge. Moon overhead is a real treat. Now I'm on my

Good Luck with your exams Marcus, sorry you couldn't make the flight this time. Plenty of time in the future tho. Looking forward to my leg of the journey and I am really excited about the impending landing at Courchevel :mrhappy: Cheers for now .

Cheers Reef, All clear now. Needles

Hi Mutley & Co Not having done this before, could you let me know how I file a flight plan with the forum thereby updating the departure board? Can't wait for my turn having looked at the strip at Courchevel. Pretty tricky strip that eh? :shock: Looking forward to it. Cheers for now. Regards Needles :???:

Great job Mike well done! Regards. Enjoy your download.
