Croisiere Noir Event

<< < (4/4)

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Nice, Louis! And thanks for sharing them.

For me, leg 03/15 from DATM (Bordj Mokhtar, Algeria) to GOGA (Gao, Mali) started a little later than I had planned; 19:45(Z) instead of 19:00(Z) because of RL priorities.

Climbing out of DATM for int MOKAT.

Just as I was airborne (about 10 sec after this pic) Trevor came on line at DATM, and said hello. Nice!

Three more EHM guys (the light blue dots) joined Trevor even before I reached MOKAT


Along the way, some other IVAO traffic in opposite direction

(OSE101 DIAP-LIRF on UG859)

TCAS says there is another one up there, but I don't have a visual

(KLM590 DGAA-EHAM on UG859)

While we're looking up; nice vail of clouds


A close-up, because I always got to gaze at this paintwork a bit during cruise. Focus is this time on the exhaust streaks. Evan Kirou, you're my hero :D


Ah, now there's the river Niger already!


That means time to start descend, and prep the approach! I choose the VOR rwy07 aproach


"Officer, I swear I didn't touch that beer yet!" (Things are getting a bit out of focus here...)


"I just knew I shouldn't have eaten those mushrooms :~p"


Lucky for me, they left the runway where it is suposed to be. Nice black PAPI

I'll just go park on one of those green blobs on the left, I guess...

My fellow EHMmers are approaching GAGO too, but I simply don't see anything outside. And my cockpit won't even allow for an instrument landing...

So I'll just call it a day, and hope my GFX problem solves itself overnight.
Will have a look at it tomorrow.

By the way: despite the GFX "challenge", I managed a 0-penalty PP flight today! It's my second one in 15 flights... Only 6427 penalty points to be removed for a flat 0... Woahhh, just as I checked if I remembered that number correctly from my PIREP, I see that EHM has introduced a new rating system, and I am at 485 points = 3rd place overall. I made it to the front page all of a sudden. Curious about the new calculation; I see only positive numbers.

Well, that's it for today. Lucky for me I have until next Tuesday (max.) to fly leg 04/15 GAGO - DNSO (Sokoto, Nigeria). I hope I have that GFX thing solved well before that.

C.U. then and there. Happy landings, and wait for the three greens!

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
My GFX problem seems to be a killer. Literally.
I can now only fly for about 10 minutes, the my PC freezes. I cannot even CTRL-ALT-DEL my way out of it. I have to do a hard reset (power button > 5 sec) to get a restart. But then I can work normally, only FSX kills my PC after 10 mins. each time. Tried it 4 times yesterday evening, all with the same result.
So tonight I'll go try de-install some stuff I recently installed for FSX, and maybe even REX (... :( ) and see what happens then.
So probably I won't be flying leg 04/15 next Friday. I hope to be able to do so before next Tuesday...

Keep you posted!
Eric-Jan

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
After yet another FSX crash (not an airplane crash) I made a second attempt at FEFF - FZIA. This time, I had the honour of flying with Louis.
Louis was flying under UN flag:
