Axel 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I will be commencing this flight ASAP but before i do does anyone know of any good scenery for it? (FS2004) I was going to attempt a flight to the north in a glider to a Intl Aiport before heading south but that seems unlikely (can't find any decent ridge lift) Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi Axel, I can only find Bequilla for FSX by PW Sceneries and nothing for Paramaribo Don't worry if you cannot find any addon scenery, it's not compulsory, a lot of posts in the challenge are made with the default scenery :biggrin: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Axel 0 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Leg 1 of 4 TVSB- TVSV (a short hop) EDIT: FF crashed 1/2 through writing this up the first time. Here is our beutiful aircraft for this small trip ,the Do-27, and the horrible weather behind Here is the cockpit i will be riding in today Just after engine start After waiting 10 minutes for the engine to warm up and a taxi we line up on the runway. Here we have just started applying t/o power that's why the tail is lifiting slightly. After a short run down the runway we lift up the tail... ...pull up and we lift off. Applying climb power BTW this is Sarah my co-pilot for Leg 44 (she always wears sunglasses no matter what the weather is like) After 5 or so minutes TVSV comes into sight Turning for a downwind join Just after turning finals The final Touchdown! (going to slow for smoke) After a ground run to rival the gripen we start our taxi towards the terminal Parked up all cold and dark Link to post Share on other sites
