jean marc Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Mali - Hombori hills between Mopti and Gao, north of Burkina Faso This place at the gate to the Sahara desert is a really beautiful place to fly, with great hills formation (famous Fatma Hand, top for climbers), various and scenic ground details thanks to Open LC Africa, ... It is close to the Dogon country and its rich culture ... ( I've been by there 20 years ago ... it was a safe time ...it seems really dangereous at present to travel in this area with the Jihadist Attack ) To fly slowly and not too high all around was a real pleasure ! Orbx teams really did a great job ! (This is a new AH Miles Hawk Speed6 repaint to fly over Burkina Faso & Mali - it will be uploaded nextly at avsim ) 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 Here is a map of that place (yes it was a long and sinuous flight path ... why a straight line when the place is beautiful ... ) Happy flights in Africa PS : Great book to read about the place, people and history : Amkoullel the Fula Child by the grand Hampate Ba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosqr Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Very interesting trip Jean Marc, some great shots The Culture man Is that map an application? Can it be displayed while flying on the screen a bit minimized? Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 It has been some days since you have been showing us around, Jean Marc. And perfect as ever: Plane, livery, photo combination - and you have found a fantastic example of OLC Africa once again. That product is absolutely outstanding.

Looks like a good place to fly around and look at the scenery. thank you John it is a really pleasant place to fly at low altitude and slowly. I spent a night in this village in 1998, arriving from the Dogon country and going to Gao (and next upto Tombouctou...) ... amazing trip on the roof of heavy loaded trucks (no bus) and so slowly...20 mph no more average speed ... At present it seems so dangereous to travel all around with the recent terrorism attacks ... poor people, the life was already so difficult and to add such terrors events ... 9 hours ago, adambar said: Beautiful captures Jean Marc. plenty of others only 15 here thanks Adam 9 hours ago, musterpilot said: Beautiful shots thank you John - greatly various ground details : a real pleasure to fly 8 hours ago, BradB said: Another classic Jean Marc post in the books !! .

I love to use LittleNavMap (using the opentopomap layer for great relief details) - easy to use... but not with a minimized screen you have to pause and watch the map behind the p3d4 screen here is a link for this great freeware : https://albar965.github.io/littlenavmapscreens.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
