Stillwater Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Airlink will take us out of Hoedspruit today... ... departing over the nearby Balule Game Reserve... ... and with some fine views of the northern Drakensberg mountains. For those sitting on the left. This flight passes Jo´burg, ... ... and Kimberley (yes, there is also a Kimberley in this mining country), ... ... before we descend towards the Ceres mountains (no, they are not close to Geelong). But there are some famous winelands around, ... ... for example near the city of Paarl. We head into a town with some famous sights, ... ... and from the cockpit you catch them best. Okay, sitting on the right would do as well, and compensates for the missing Drakensbergs after takeoff. Slightly offset, ... ... but safely arrived in Cape Town. Quite a straight way, with about 2:45 h block time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 are there many good addon airports for this area? I am not sure who to look at for these, there's not a lot on Orbx really... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Gerold, wonderful flight over less seen terrain in the flight simming world. Great job covering more of this less traveled area. Your images and information are great looking and informative. And yes, that flight route map is awesome indeed Landon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a bit more than I have.... Thank you Andy. Yes I HAD to. The big airports are not in the scone of OLC, and sadly the whole continent is not in the scope of Orbx... so I can only PM you, if you need. No top quality, but at least an idea... 2 hours ago, wain71 said: are there many good addon airports for this area? I am not sure who to look at for these, there's not a lot on Orbx really... just like I said to Andy in the previous answer: I wish there was some more of Orbx quality in Africa. But I added the most important airports with other providers. 1 hour ago, Sniper31 said: Gerold, wonderful flight over less seen terrain in the flight simming world.

Quite a lot of flat land during this flight, I expanded the start and landing phase a bit in the post... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
