Crossing the Himalayas in an old Comet

Featured Replies

We start in Islamabad and will cross the Himalaya in a north-easterly direction, until we land after having flown some 400 miles in Hotan, China

As you see, this is low resolution photo scenery (from simsavy), so it works best from FL200 up

We pass the K2, some 8,600 m high, and move into Chinese territory

Long final into Hotan. I don’t think they are overly concerned here with noise abatement regulations J

These were the times... when planes were noisy and dirty, and glaciers didn't melt away. I wish I had experienced this. Beautiful plane, beautiful landscape, beautiful pictures, Bernd!

Thank you very much gents for your kind comments. It's greatly appreciated.

 

The plane is freeware and can be downloaded from here:

It's for FS9 and FSX, but I had no problems flying it in P3D 2.5 with all gauges working correctly. The site offers also some very nice period textures (and some other planes of that era), so you can fly it basically in any part of the world
