Really missed my COTS flights since moving to P3D so here we go with the Connie, My first Connie round the "top half of the globe" tour.

This ended up taking longer as I spread this out a bit as I'm also doing a world tour in my Comanche.

KSEA - KMIA --11.0
KMIA - TBPB -- 7.0
TBPB - GOOY--11.8
GOOY- DAAT---7.2
DAAT - OKBK---7.6
OKBK - OISS---1.7
OISS - VYMD---9.1
VYMD - ZSPD---5.5
ZSPD - UHPP---7.4
UHPP - KSEA--12.5

Main events were Engine fire out of OKBK hence the short hop to OISS and a sick passenger around the 10hr mark heading home to KSEA

Here is my morning flight, evening in Africa. Departure was Arba Minch (HAAM), Ethiopia and landing at Kamuzu Intl, (FWKI), Malawi.

I do have an issue with the landing reviews. My last two landings I'm sure I heard a grunt from my crew even though it wasn't a terrible landing but maybe a little harder than it should be. The after action says I impressed the crew and got a nice round of applause yet I did not hear that. This landing was smooth and I got a round of applause from the passengers and yet it was not rated as a great landing. I always keep the nose up until it settles on its own. I must be missing something.

Anyways, here's my latest flight. Keep them coming folks. 8)

Here is a flight from today. Kamuzu Intl (FWKI), Malawi to Cape Town Intl (FACT), South Africa. Two hours or so into the flight FSX crashed and I had to start over. The second attempt was a success. Part way through the flight I acquired a real life flight engineer. Squadmate Viking joined me through TeamViewer and did a bang-up job of managing my engines. It was really fun to have a real FE. Thanks much Viking!

Another raise and that tear drop door 'Vett is getting closer.

Cheers and good job all.

Not trying to pick on you Lufthansa but how did you manage to incur those costs :shock: ? I Still enjoy reading these so keep them coming.

***EDIT*** Ahha, I just re-read your post and see that it is present day costs :lol:

In Saint Maarten from West Palm Beach, FL. Got applause on the landing but i guess i expect better from myself. That, or they were just happy to be on solid ground after fighting turbulence and storms from Puerto Rico all the way down.

I actually got another flight today. Flight was from Hosea Kutako Intl (FYWH) Namibia to Lusaka Intl (FLLS) Zambia.

Shortly after I started my descent I received my first en-flight emergency with a failing heating system. OAT was -10C at 21,000 ft so I expedited my descent to 3,200 AGL where the OAT was +17C. Cabin temp got down to +14C but as I arrived at 3,200 AGL the cabin heating system was able to keep up and it warmed up to +21C again.
