FsP World Tour - Season #2 (Leg #26 - 27)

EAZY & Wardak...outstanding pics, guys! Hope mine are ok:

DSW taking off from RWY 02L at VVCR:


There goes Vegas,too:


Tracker, well, he's the Kamakazie who just can't get with the proper takeoff procedures. He goes in the opposite direction I had to
change his aircraft since I don't have a decent A380 to show:


Look at all of those peeps on radar. All bunched up in a hurry to get to Hong Kong:


Approaching VHHX, RWY 31 and beginning to see the rabbit at around 500 ft. AGL:



Touchdown!



After the mayhem on arrival due to the fog, I think everyone had to recompose themselves before retiring for the evening. Another fun flight
with a great group of people!

No cool screen shots from me. I was first off the ground, but was quickly passed by about 2/3 of the others. It was a combination of my having the
slowest plane, and somebody telling me I was going the wrong way. I didn't think I was, but turned anyway. After that, somebody else said that I was
going the wrong way again. Stupid fs9 flight plan...

Mid flight was no issue. I just kept it redlined and still watched HB and EAZY just walk right past me. Brief moment of panic, just before the turn
into HK, suddenly there was this Airbus in front of me. It filled the windscreen and freaked me right out.

Getting into HK, I figured I'll try the rwy 13 approach. Hey, it's not my plane. At 11,500 I entered some of the thickest soup I've flown into.
Used GPS and a VOR to feel my way to the start of the trench. Scared the piss out of the passengers doing this slide/dive move to get lined up. Made
the turn, found myself in a good spot and EAZY and a 747 coming at me the other way on 31. Went around and then my connection dropped out. Got
turned around landed on 31. When I finally stoped and unloaded, I reset my modem and reconnected for the photos.

This is an airport that I'll have fun with. The add-ons are great, and the approach is a blast. I'm just glad it's behind me now.

It was a great night The scenery was one of the best I have seen, together with the autogen buildings.. The fun was great.. This time no chicken
play for HB and tracker. But Eazy and Rex didn't like that. So they did there own chicken play.

Sorry to read that I caused your GA, Rex. Didn't realize at all since I was fighting hard with the elements. When I could finally make out the
runway lights through rain and fog at 500 above, autopilot had put me too far right and, judging by the vasi, way too high. Runway itself still
not visible. So I turned, dived and cut throttle until I noticed I was only slightly too high, pulled up, almost stalled, pushed throttle to avoid a bath
in the chinese sea, climbed too much, cut throttle again, smashed it down, told pax not to tell anyone about this landing
Definitely one of the worst approaches so far. I owe you a Rex!

Joe: Great work on the screenshots! Especially the nice approach lights of RW 13.
And wow!, that's a nice plane you have!!

great flight and great pics guys. I was also quite lucky for this one.

The passengers terminal was overcrowded. Then I boarded on this overheated cargo ramp


Clearef for take off, Peter waits I finish my check list:
- doors closed
- bottle: on board and secured
- cork screw: in my jacket left pocket
-glasses : where f... are ther ? On your nose capt.


OK then we can go


Turning carefully, don't shake the wine


reaching the plain blue sky


Peter climbed like a rocket


Wardak on his way


Sunglasses mandatory


After som drinks, colors changed a bit

[pegase]

descent, bye bye garish volors and blue sky, things begin to be serious


May be too serious


Is it the runway ? really ? then lets do as if I missed it...


I am not sure I would really like living in those buildings...


I guess I should keep on climbing and praying


Could this rain clear the fog


A little bit, I try to follow this ship but she is too slow


This time


The runway appeared to be on the right place


Boeing... Boeing.. Boeing.. I feel surrounded. Is this airport fallen in ennemy's control ?


Pfew.. Not totally HB is there with his woody wings


And oh !! I did not noticeTracker with this small one

[HB-100]

I was really not so eager to fly this leg. I mean HongKong..who want's to fly to such an over structured dark city?
I have to confess I don't like cities too much. And I installed that sceneries with some resists.

At least the rwy13 approach looked to challangeing reading in this forum.

Holding short, ready fro take off.


right after that fat fat Tracker bird.


..still a ridden too me why that airport has a steel rwy next to the normal one..?


..ops I though tracker was way a head, didnt he took off before me?
He said he is way above me.. only that I climb with 2500ft/min!


..yup Tracker I guess we will all ways have a nearing in each leg.
So concontrated on Tracker I missed that co-pilot announcement and did not set the altimater baro here.


..the sun goes down and ..oh..I have made accidently night day texture mix, the othe texture appears slowly.


We are almost there. Let me see..Hmm no I see nothing


..some rain drops.Time to start the Rwy13 approach! Weather and wind speaks against that but I now I would
regret if I don't try the challange..whenever will I fly to HongKong again? The only chance to do that approach is now.


..hmm yesthat was the point where windows made PEEP and my HD is full..all 100 screenshots after I lost!
Glad I had at least recorded the flight. (I was busy freeing HD space when I was on the ILS worried FS will crash!)


..it is not so bad after all..2000ft and I started to seeing buildings


..time for the geras


...ow a LIGHTPATH! That is cute!! Imediatly I startet to love the scenery.


..and here comes the turn. Really cool. Somehow I just timed it right.
I choosed a higher speed than usual because the backwind. The passangers were clam.
Only the FSP co-pilot freaked out, "Easy Easy on the stick!" That was for sure not Jane. But hmm who else was on board.. otto?


.. a little little bit on the left at first but till touchdown centered.


..parked and pax send out to enjoy the night life. That light path is really cute. Jane would say "so sweet!"

Top-notch screenies you guys

[DBE]

Superb screenshots, guys!

I'm astonished that not more of you attempted the RW13 approach, but I guess, with that weather, you were lucky to get down in one piece!

[Mac]

This was me on 13.

Got the textures for the VC10 finished and will start putting the zip file together for the AI textures

[Joeflyer]

Great sounding airplane, Mac and a darn good vid,too!

[vegasflyboy2004]

I'm glad I did the 13, even with my inadvertant touch and go.
