Hi all,

here are some shots of a journey from Tenerife to Luanda, capital of Angola, in three legs via Banjul/Gambia and Douala/Cameroun.

Take-off at Tenerife-North (Los Rodeos):

Nice to see some flying over a different continent.

Three flights in one! 👍 Great to see some flights in Africa....sweet AI as usual. 

I'm would like to make the new terminal for Kotoka Intl ...... just not enough hours in the day. 😒

Excellent screenies, Harald. It's really hard to believe that all this was done in good old FS9 😊

Same problem here; I neither get the Il-18 to work properly nor have I solved the problem of disappearing river beside my work-in-progress Ambrolauri airfield scenery in Georgia...

Great West Africa tour, Harald.  I’m curious as which scenery you’re using for Luanda.  Great seeing Gemini and Transafrik in your AI; lots of interesting liveries in that part of the world.

Regarding the Luanda scenery, it's a freeware "Photoreal Luanda 2012" by Mateusz Stabryla/MK Studios. Unfortunately, I can't find it in the web anymore, neither via g+++++ search nor at the common file libraries; and it is not even listed in the FS2004 freeware scenery list. Site of Angolan Virtual Airliners Group is down. So I have no idea where to get this scenery nowadays...

Fantastic shots and narrative! Always have loved Africa...(hope we'll have Africa well-represented in the new SIM)...!

Thanks P_7878 for commenting. I wished, too, that Africa was represented better in the sims, but I honestly don't believe that this will be come true. To many simmers concentrate on Europe and Northern America almost exclusively...

If you use XP11, you can get pretty good photoscenery for all of Africa, autogen included! And like P_7878, I hope that the upcoming MSFS will give us even better scenery. I'm especially looking forward to explore Asia in the new sim 😉

Thanks, Harald; I've got that one in my archives, and it's the best version I've found for FS9.  There's a YouTube video on Air Gemini in Angola (in French and Portuguese) which is great; search for "Boeing 727 ISSO".
