September 4, 20214 yr One of the things that sells this sim. When you go visit a place, especially an unfamiliar place, you have a sense of actually having seen/been somewhere unique/different. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

September 5, 20214 yr Great shots, Dominique. Are you planning to get the Ju-52 when it comes out? I'm looking forward to a "Cairo to Cape" trip in that - I started to do that in P3D a couple of years ago, but as usual, never finished it. Did about 5 or 6 hops and got as far as Addis Ababa. Should be much more rewarding in MSFS.

Should be much more rewarding in MSFS. The 1st TransAfrica flight was made by two South Africans (van Ryneveld and Brand) on a Vickers Vimy ! They had advance teams to clear landing sites, including of ant hills 😄 ! England to Southern Italy and crossing the Med (by night !) then Derna. (Lybia) - Sollum - Cairo (Egypt) - Abu Simbel (approximation of the the city of Kurusku north of Wadi Halfa where they crashed) - Khartoum (Sudan) - Nimule (South Sudan) - Kisumu (Kenya) - Mbala (aka Abercorn - Zambia) - Ndola - Kabwe (aka Broken Hill) - Livingstone (Victoria Falls !) - Balawayo (Zimbabwe) - Cape Town. For the JU 52 ? I will diplomatically say that the question is open 😉.

September 11, 20214 yr Great shots, Dominique. They show, what we like about MSFS: exploring new places or areas we remember from many years ago and like to revisit now from the comfort of our homes 😉 Edited September 11, 20214 yr by bernd1151 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

I did a similar one in P3D too, but gave up due to a very unrealistic scenery below me. This time it will be different, luckily 😉 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
