Hauer Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 A short domestic flight today within Nigeria from the capital Abuja to Kano situated in the north of the country. Daily flights of approximately 50 minute duration are normally performed by both Air Peace and Azman Air Service. As their aircraft were being serviced, a charter flight was arranged using the Zimbabwean low-cost carrier, fastjet... Welcome on board! Herman Ready for departure, Abuja's Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Departing Abuja Cruising at 19,000ft with unfortunate cloud cover Kano with a rather strange looking patch... (for attention Orbx?) Sahara dust storm ahead? Turned shortly after this sight! On approach... Landing at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport Thanks for looking!

Stillwater Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Fast would I have booked a flight with them, but only "fast"... Great shots and tour, Herman, and I see you got the Airbus fully working (not for me, and I think I have to make the update to p3d4.5 now).

VH-KDK Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 An excellent set from your flight Herman. I couldn't figure out the logo on the tail until your last image but I do like the parrot (African Grey?) head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauer Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thank you all for your comments. Africa is so vast, so much to explore with a huge thanks to Orbx for bringing such a fine product to the market! @Gerold: what issues are you encountering with the Airbusses and what version of P3D are you currently using? @Martyn: Certainly appears to be an African Grey.

Hauer Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just took a good look on a satellite map at that patch in Kano... Apparently it is the Kano Zoo. Herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the latest v4.4 release. The FCU is not progressing, does not move on with passing the waypoint, does not recognize the VNAV profile (though flown successfully) and the autopilot does not capture LNAV either. I´ll go to 4.5 today and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What may help too is using the Windows key+R and deleting the contents with %temp%. Then again using the Windows key+R and deleting all the contents with prefetch. Start the simulator and give it a try... Gives more stability overall... my thoughts! I would try the latter mentioned deletions first and try it out before all the other time consuming efforts. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, because the older ones worked fine. I feel i am too stupid for your workaround: When I type WIN-R I just get the Eingabeaufforderung and no contents. But I have downloaded the client and content modules, copied all my SimObjects and .cfg; so I will minimize the work and follow the great guide of Elaine https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/495199-updating-prepar3d-v4-using-the-update-component-installers/ .
