Stillwater Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 There are seven photoreal areas included in OLC Africa, and this flight from Timbouctou will finish this list for me. First I crossed the Niger river again, ... ... southwards over Mali´s deserts. The country is not as peaceful as it seems in the sim, it suffers from terrorism. French and German soldiers are on duty there for many years now, keep my fingers crossed they all return safe. BTW: This is the only paved road in this part of Mali. Boni village below... .. and the Boni Rocks ahead. A nice addition, indeed. 160 miles further south, in Burkina Faso, we turned into final... ... over the city of Ougadougou... ... and towards the international airport. At least some houses to be seen there, maybe even a pub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I was expecting these rocks to be on the Clyde, I have been robbed! Top class set Gerold, I had my first flight in Africa this evening and quite enjoyed it but it is rather flat around Cairo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauer Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Excellent series... those Boni Rocks certainly look impressive a low altitude, Gerold. Herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top class set Gerold, I had my first flight in Africa this evening and quite enjoyed it but it is rather flat around Cairo. Some people even have rocks in their whisky - I won´t ever. Have fun exploring a new continent, Marty - I expect it is as unknown to you as it was for me. There are already some suggestions on this forum - or you just go by some maps or your old school atlas! 55 minutes ago, Hauer said: Excellent series... those Boni Rocks certainly look impressive a low altitude, Gerold. Herman Thanks Herman. These photoreal additions are another cherry on the OLC cake. 44 minutes ago, flyingleaf said: Great shots Gerold. Interesting as always. Hope y'all find that pub. Looks mighty dry over there You got the key point here, from a real pilots view. At least there should be some cold beer around, and - please - in a closed bottle or can.

Thank you John. You may guess how much I learned about the geography (and a bit about politics) of Africa during these flights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
