For our flight from Ushuaia to Phoenix Field on Ross Island, we are using our good old Transall in a livery in the colors of the British Antarctic Survey (they don’t use the C-160 in rl, but I think it looks pretty good). The skin is based on the real livery of the BAS Twin Otter, which is used in the Arctic. Despite the (fictitious) additional tanks, we will have to refuel twice. Let the adventure begin. The Beagle Channel always looks impressive Of course we had to fly past Cap Horn The north-western foothills of Antarctica. It's quite impressive what MSFS offers us in this respect But that also exists: an infinite expanse Closer to our destination, things look much more interesting again. However, we are diverted to Casey. The runway at Phoenix Field is unusable (in other words: there was nothing in the Flusi that interested me apart from a barely perceptible runway) Passing McMurdo Sound and Ross Island Short Final Thanks for viewing

A bit of a warning, Gerold, you need the payware Aurora Borealis for this to work. The default MSFS doesn't have this feature.

Terrific shots, as always, buddy!

Another great post of yours, P_7878! I have been fortunate to have visited Kenya a few times, so these shots bring back fond memories 🙂 -

Wow, you -- again -- outdid yourself, P_7878!! What an interesting post, the intro, the pics, everything! -
Thank you all for your comments !! Absolutely. Reminds me of an old saying: in the good old days I used to travel, today I am being shipped 😄 And you could even take your entire household along 😄

Great achievement, Will! Congrats and thanks for those superb screenshots.

Today I decided to try something slightly oversized again 🙂 Thanks for viewing.

Many thanks, Andy and Gerold. I can tell you that I did this flight in early March. Which day? I have not the foggiest 🙂

Many thanks for your comments! Yes, Ryan, that's your paint. I like it a lot !!

I think, we all did, buddy 🙂

I think they realized that Blackbird/Miliz will launch (hopefully soon) their C-130J version (although this one comes with a glass panel). It is beyond me why those SC people always start with a new plane and try to screw us and then, with pressure from the market, finally cave in.

Comox to Kamloops in the C-130

Thank you my friends for your kind comments. Although I also like the Transall, I'm really happy now to have the long missed C-1230 too 🙂🙂
