From the navigation, only the SkyVector map and the NDB radio beacon in Kunming.

All flight on landmarks.

 

The plane is ready for the flight.

In the morning, after sunrise we will fly.

The morning was foggy.

The fog nearly disrupted all plans, because it was impossible to navigate.

nd so, when I was ready to decide to return to the base, the weather began to improve.

And here is the first landmark - The Lake of No return.

It means that we are flying right...

And there's the second landmark on the Mali River.

http://i.piccy.info/i9/bc5ee5f622f2a2d1cc038ddfbd76daeb/1511181193/42724/1191428/fsx_2017_10_800.jpghttp://i.piccy.info/a3/2017-11-20-12-33/i9-11797323/800x424-r/i.gif

Has passed 1/3 ways.

http://i.piccy.info/i9/e16db632953c45fd29e06193366e26a7/1511187919/128866/1191428/Orientir_2_800.jpghttp://i.piccy.info/a3/2017-11-20-14-25/i9-11797809/770x554-r/i.gif

 

The flight was normal, I was already relaxed and began to whistle a merry tune, when suddenly a mountain range began to approach me.

 

http://i.piccy.info/i9/9bce0922b5cec5c0bc5861c0f810ce5a/1511181638/54161/1191428/fsx_2017_11_800.jpghttp://i.piccy.info/a3/2017-11-20-12-40/i9-11797355/800x424-r/i.gif

 

I started pulling the wheel on myself, hoping that I could fly mountains. But when the speed dropped to 70 knots, it was necessary to turn sharply to the right.

I flew along the mountains to the South trying to find an opening in the mountains.

After a while I found it.

Rushing to the other side of the mountains, I was a little disoriented and had a bad idea of where I was ....

I argued that if I flew to the South, it would be correct to fly to the Northeast.

 

 

After a while, a small lake appeared. I really want it to be the lake of Zibi.

 

http://i.piccy.info/i9/b4f4363a71b578cc284338c8299f0874/1511182438/57552/1191428/fsx_2017_15_800.jpghttp://i.piccy.info/a3/2017-11-20-12-53/i9-11797436/800x418-r/i.gif

 

So it turned out!

http://i.piccy.info/i9/7ee228d86b8c21d06bf6a781fc48539b/1511187318/117618/1191428/Orientir_3_800.jpghttp://i.piccy.info/a3/2017-11-20-14-15/i9-11797755/748x571-r/i.gif

 

A little more and the front opened a huge lake Erhai ...

To the left of Haishao Reserved.

2/3 of the way behind.

I orientated my course (slightly deviated to the south).

Earned a radio beacon in Kunming.

Finally, it seemed Lake Dianchi.

Almost flew!

That's Kunming.

The airbase is to the left.

Fine! Thrilling!

Perfect plane & matching scenery & pics, event down to map. Kenny

Great job flying the "Hump" Vlad! Very nicely displayed and a good narrative, charts and scenery to go with it. :cool: :cool: :)

Great adventure Vlad! :cool::cool::cool:

Thank you, guys!

I'm glad you liked it.

Did you use Alex Nicholson's scenery? I wrote the CBI charter flights for DC3 Airways (all known actual WWII routes) a number of years ago and am just getting back into the sim after too many years. I've got Alex's latest scenery, but it's not looking right on P3D yet. Too many stock P3D buildings remaining.

Hi, Frocky!

Indeed, all the information I received on DS3 Airways.
