Great job David and welcome back to our group! Next tour :rolleyes: we are going to request that you do it in fighter jets, so that it will speed things up so you can get reacquainted with your family that much sooner!

 

We enjoyed it! Rick :cool:

Thank you very much!

Now it's time to turn around and go the opposite direction!

Now it's time to turn around and go the opposite direction!

 

Ha! Good idea however, I have some other stuff I want to do in the sim! :D I'm in the process of rearranging my office and other life things are getting in the way. So much to do, so little time :rolleyes:

Yes, that's true. FS world is so vast, so much to explore, countries one never visited! :):)

You got it Gerard! There is probably so much hidden in that sim we will never see :(

And that makes that there are so many way to fly in there! Personally, a I worked for the French government in Northern Africa (a kind of French Peace Corps but much better :) ), I like returning to where i lived or visited in the area. Also fly around Dijon, on those terrains I know. And for the rest, I allow me to any location I feel to check. And, as I also travelled a lot here and there (Europe, US, etc.) I'm that too much tempted, all in all. That allowed me also to check realism in the FS versions. Indeed a fine product, I think since FS98. The real tools for world geeks (in a good sense :):) )

You definitely have a leg up being a world traveler! Making the comparisons is worth it. I really want to expand my skills and get into designing airports I once flew to in the real world. I've been doing a lot of research in that area now. (The reason for my home office project) I would like to have those airports a little more to my liking. We will see how it turns out :D

A fine effort.

 

Did you log how long you spent in the air?

A fine effort.

 

Did you log how long you spent in the air?

 

It's in the logbook feature of FSX. I would have to add it up. Excellent question! I will add it up and let everyone know :D

Congratulations David on the completion of your challenging adventure. :cool: :pilot: :cool: :pilot: :cool: :pilot: And you have chose a fine ship (Stratocruiser) for your parting shot! Then the mai tai (rum punch) ! :cool: :pilot: :cool: :pilot: Thank you for sharing, it was very interesting to follow up. Keep up the good work and Godspeed.

 

NB: Why don't we the merry lot on this forum arrange for a collective flying activity of some sort? I was part of the Aerosoft (Around the world in 80 days) challenge and it was a tremendous joy. Just an idea.

 

Best wishes.
