August 22, 20223 yr Recently I saw a documentary on TV, where some creative businessmen with a pilot license and an aircraft at their disposal help some African nations to get badly needed nourishment. Of course, all of what the small TV team was seeing/filming was highly illegal, the pilots (of Rus, oh sorry, of unknown nationality) didn’t want to be filmed or interviewed. I must admit, most interesting! It was for me a small wonder that the pilots allowed the TV team to come along for such a trip at all. They claimed to do two such trips per day. At least as long as their slightly dilapidated looking An-24 was air worthy (according to the pilots’ standards, most probably not ours). So, hop on and let’s repeat this trip. 😉 The crew at work Landing at Bosaso International Airport. No kidding We are here in a different country, mind you, yet unloading of these precious goods started as soon as the plane came to a stop. Turn around time was remarkably fast 😄 The gauges of my FSX An-24 don’t work in MSFS (the plane does), and I didn’t want to use again the default King Air’s VC for this plane. It just doesn’t look right. So I use an FS9 An-32 instead, which I converted first to FSX, before I ported her over to MSFS. For some strange reason, most of those plane’s gauges work in MSFS Here, the FS9 origin is especially obvious, but the plane (hand) flies quite well and is refreshingly different from all those modern Garmin-equipped VCs PAPI lights? What’s that? On short final into Bosaso International Airport. The airstrip looks very much like the real thing This is the first time I can say that a default MSFS airport looks better than its real world counterpart Thanks for viewing Edited August 22, 20223 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

August 22, 20223 yr Very nice! Love the storyline! Is that Piglet's Antonov? I remember doing a few paints for that All my FSX/P3D repaints are here on Avsim, for my MSFS repaints, go to FS.2

August 28, 20223 yr Great (RW) story, bernd...!! I recall from decades ago, a colleague of mine, once a year, used to participate in the Habitat for Humanity based trips and activities in Africa...not sure though if the plane there was an An-24 ...🙂... Agree, your legacy An-24 (conversion), looks so nice, in its new home....🙂.... And of course, the surrounding scenery and vegetation looks wonderful too...! Edited August 28, 20223 yr by P_7878
