Jack Sawyer Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This time from Karachi, OPKC to Jodhpur, VIJO. I'm getting there, it will be fun to make it to Melbourne. And @Eugene Kremlev I was told that it was a perfect landing. More sand, oh boy! Now this is some nice scenery! Don't know what city that is below but I like it. Surprise! More sand! I like this! Who built those high rises so close to the end of the runway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it'll be ok. My park is so flooded I'd need a rowboat to hike, no kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Another nice leg Jack....coming in to that landing over those high rises kind of reminds me of the approach over downtown San Diego when flying into KSAN from the East. In real life, as you descend, there are high rises on either side of the aircraft that are higher than the aircraft...kinda freaky...nice shots, and make sure you have your life jacket handy for that real life weather you are experiencing. I have lots of family and friends in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia so I am very aware of the stormy weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Landon, been to KSAN many times in real life and love that approach but I like the departure even better! And yeah, flood warnings now and we’re being POUNDED with rain. It’ll take till August for my trails to be hikeable again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Well done Jack! Leg 9 completed! You are getting closer now . As for the airport, it reminds me of landing at Kai Tak . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Really a great tour, Jack, and now you are coming into more common travel regions. What will be your next stopover? PS: The city should be Hyderabad/PAK, not to mix up with the more famous Hyderabad in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the A2A report said it was an excellent landing Eugene. I greased it. 12 minutes ago, Stillwater said: Really a great tour, Jack, and now you are coming into more common travel regions.

I didn't know the names were spelled like that, I'm going from a map that's decades old. Next stop is "Allahabad". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you MUST make a stopover in Agra (half of your distance), visit the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort. At least the first one is (badly...) represented in FSX, so it should be in p3d as well.

VH-KDK Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Glorious set Jack as you make your way across the world. I suppose high rises make a change from trees at the ends of the runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least a chainsaw will take care of the trees, tall buildings is a different story, a pilot must be cautious when landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
