June 7, 201610 yr Hi, some impressions from a flight into the Pamir with a venerable An-2 as well as from the flight Dushanbe-Baku in the Tu-134. In the Vakhsh valley The first really high mountains Pik Ismoil Somoni (former Pik Kommunism) ahead! Over the glacier Heading to Altynmazar, a former meteorological station Part II: To Baku! Once again the Pamir: Pik Ismoil Somoni (right), Pik Korshenevskoi (left), both over 7,000 m high Farewell to Central Asian mountains Karakum Desert First view to Azerbaijan after crossing the Caspian Sea Finally Baku This is DDs Baku scenery "without" static planes: Interesting neighbourhood: I hope you like these shots... Have fun. Regards, Harald Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
June 7, 201610 yr "I hope you like these shots... Have fun." And who wouldn't Harald. I wonder whether the superb payware Sibwings An-2 will work in FS9. Probably not Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
June 8, 20169 yr I do love your FS stories Harald. Super shots, AI and cute AN-2. :Applause: My FS Videos
June 8, 20169 yr Nice pictures of one of my old favorites in FS9, the SCS 134. I will give the FSX version in P3D a try.
June 8, 20169 yr Wow just look at those textures! And your Baku is far, far busier than mine, Harald. I can see I will have to invest a little more precious AI time around there...

June 8, 20169 yr Author Many thanks Bernd, Ed, ArchStanton and WingZ for your comments. cute AN-2. I wonder whether the superb payware Sibwings An-2 will work in FS9. Probably not I also think so. But no problem: I'm very satisfied with the freeware model by Anton Nikolaev (Xomer). Others do like Vladimir Shigulskiys model, but although it's visually better, I didn't get familiar with it. I will give the FSX version in P3D a try. I'm very interested if you succeed. Should I ever change over to P3D (very unlikely though), a good and working Tu-134 would be an important precondition. your Baku is far, far busier than mine In the case of Baku, inserting AI traffic of only AZAL and Silk Way had a massive effect. The Kazakh Tu-134, some An-12 and the MChS Be-200 are only the "dot on the i". As you know, I'm very interested in this part of the world, also AI traffic-wise. AI traffic of my sim is much less dense in other parts of the world. I have probably more Georgian, Azerbaijani and Armenian airlines as AI traffic than US American airlines (including those which are defunct in real world...). P.S. Regarding textures: FS9Evo.

June 11, 20169 yr Great screenshots....again! The AN-2 is a large, interesting biplane, but I much prefer the Tu-134. My opinion is purely based on looks alone. I haven't flown either of the two planes, in sim or for real (I WISH!)

June 11, 20169 yr Author Thanks Mark! The Tu-134 is very rare now. I can't say where she is still flying in civil operation. The An-2 is flown at fly-ins or airport annyversaries quite often. Here's an impression from inside as passenger in EDAC Altenburg - in fact a former Soviet Army airfield (sorry for the fuzzy picture, what counts is the sound): https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1ns0dmq25z65wy/DSCN7918.MOV?dl=0 Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v.

June 12, 20169 yr Thanks for sharing Harald! I see, or rather, hear what you mean about the AN-2 . Lovely P-51 at the end of that video clip too.
