It's the crosswind. No Vodka since I left Russia some weeks ago. Otherwise I wouldn't have mastered the landing.

Jon, I use other textures. Does HDE v2 contain sky textures? If yes, they should be those. If not, I honestly don't remember anymore.

Then it is HDE v2.

(Out of FS9Evo, I only use the ground textures as well as streets, railwoads, ground details... but no sky and no autogen.)

 

Some "maintenance" before the transpacific flights - in the oldtimers' corner at NZWN. Will do some GA flying in the nice area of the Cook Strait meanwhile.

Love the shot Harald. :Applause:  Enjoy your GA break. :p0503:

Hi Ed,

I've been trying to get an IL-76 to work "properly" for the past few days without success.

I love the bird. I have seen it parked at different airports during my travels and it caught my attention to say the least.

Could you direct me to a working IL-76 please?

Tks

When I went to look for a working IL-76 I found a IL-76 that was not animated correctly and a panel that was made using PT's IL-62 gauges (an IL-62 is not a IL-76)

 

I decided there an then to try and make my own IL-76 panel from scratch and help Ilya to correct the animations in his IL-76.

 

I got about halfway with Ilya and then he disappeared…..my panel still a WIP. 

 

All I can suggest is to go to the avsim (dot) ru forums and find out is the latest IL-76/panel config there.

Great stuff Harald.  Any chance we'll see you in Warsaw on the way home?

Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)

Tks. Yes, I'm monitoring the RU site and will keep doing so.

Cheers,

Pierre

Thanks Ed, I'll do my best.

And thank you Gavin.

You will surely see my Tupolev in Warsaw once, not necessarily at my RTW-flight due to its direction (and not necessarily in this livery anymore), but I often visit eastern European destinations in summer. I hope that DDs new Warsaw airport scenery will be out then.

 

I visited Warsaw last autumn in a "normal plane" and had a very pleasant time. Of course I used Babice Aerodrom then, one of my favourite airports.

Speaking of sky textures, has anyone tried the sky textures that were released on avsim back on January 27th? The name was Supersky 2015 v1.0 and the file name was s9_supersky_2015_v1_0.zip

 

PS: I am really enjoying your around the world flight!
