DId you add that warzone yourself or is there an update?

anyways, nice job....I never did this with a bigger plane than a twin otter so far, but that one was complete junk when landing in mogadishu, 3000 points but also -20 % reputation.....

except one occasion where i suffered a depressurisation in a 727 somewhere north of baghdad, after my emergency decent the real fun started....that one even had all 3 of its engines still running on landing, but fuel leak, hull rupture, hydraulics failrue and the passengers all lost their lunch on my evasives....

It was all genuine and I wish I had a recording of it, even the dog that normally sits in my study got up and went out of the room ! ! ! !
Guess it was making too much noise!

Hydrolics were gone, so had to hand pump the landing gear down. not that it made a scrap of difference when landing in the desert!

I had the advantage of Google Earth running, showing me exactly where I was (FS Earth) and therefor as soon as the fun started I
gained as much height as I could before the tanks were empty and glided down to the airport but missed that, so had to do a 180 back
out to the desert to land!

I just went for as long as I could keeping it at around 500ft and then as we got slower and slower I pitched up a little bit more to slow it
even more before making a belly landing!

I take BP tablets to keep my heart rate steady, but thanks to FS Passengers and all the screaming, apparently they didn't like the g-forces
or the bad landing, I had to take some more after I had landed ! ! ! !

Yes, I had updated the landmass myself via the FS Passengers map, which is why I love this program so much. I had it set at War=60 but
I guess that was a tad too much, I now have it at 35.

This is the line that I added.

Tripoli;fail=0;war=35;lat=32.52;lon=13.11;range=100

I have been flying from Malta with supplies to Tripoli International, then out to Carthage with ecacuees who can afford the flight! Then back
either straight to Malta to refuel or back to Tripoli then back to Malta to refuel, I don't trust the fuel in Tripoli, well, in my imagination
anyway ! ! !

My imagination is up the wall if I believe I am flying this for real, but I love it to bits which is why I am delighted that I found FS Passengers,
that and FS Earth just make it all the more real for me!

I fractured my spine in three places about ten years ago and am now disabled and this is my favourite and ONLY game that I play on my
PC because it doesn;t hurt my back ! ! ! So I guess I have to dream up these scenarios ! ! !

wow nice landing. nice little addition of points you got there

[TrevorSP]

Laughing my head off here !!!!
Just in the middle of my possible last trip to Tripoli to pick up those that wish to leave, I will then take them to Malta on this occasion, prior
to returning home!

HOWEVER, on the trip from Carthage to Tripoli, one of my stewardesses has just told me that she has met a lovely elderly couple who
are celebrating their 50th Anniversary with this trip to Tripoli !!!!

No accounting for taste I suppose !!!!

[ste9889]

Yeah that's why there is a "controversial" No-Fly_zone in force lol

[TrevorSP]

LOL, The older you get the more weird imagination you have, I am sure of it,

But hey, I am probably one of the oldest on here, so what the hell, if I want to rescue folks from Tripoli, so long as I have a handy Airbus to
spare, what the hell !!!

I have actually lived and worked in just about every country around the circumference of the Mediterranean, as a general part of the world, the people are actually quite alike in many respects and one of them used to be friendliness !
