MSFS Another African flight, in the Sahel

[Dominique_K 10,137]

What MSFS is good at  is to ally the serious fun of flying (or is it the amusing seriousness ?) and discovering the world. 

The Sahel is the vast region from the Atlantic to the Red Sea which separates the Sahara desert to the North and the more humid savannas to the South. This is a flight in Mali, from Nioro du Sahel to Manantali and its large reservoir on the Baffin river. 

Leaving Nioro du Sahel

In spite being an arid region, a lot of small towns

 

 

 

A fine rendering of the relief

The Manantali reservoir ahead (11 km3 of water !)

 

 

 

Dam in view

hmmm,..

The city of Manantali

 Landed along the shores but the mesh is bad under the water (humps), the Cub didn't like that at all and quit...
