EuroHarmony's Christmas Mission 2013

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

Later this evening, I hope to land at CYVR 
Took the F1 747-400F on FSX, and am crossing Greenland now ...

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

current METAR at CYVR: 29042G50... that'll be rwy 26, but a tricky landing nevertheless!

Descending over Canada now.

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

After one go-around, landed safely rwy26L CYVR
That's another 105400 lbs worth of packages delivered!

[EHM-1465 Dominic]

The map's looking fantastic now with cargo taken all the way across the globe

LAST DAY TODAY TO BRING SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER AROUND THE PLANET  

BTW - Nice going to get that A310 into Paro David, must have been a challenging approach!!

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

Prob the last one of the X-Mission 2013 ... ETA EHAM 2200Z (plus taxi time from 18R )
Well under way, but offline due to connection failure, 3 times in a row. Too bad, because I would have had ATC all the way from EFRO to EHAM.

New GFX card allows for light blooming to be "on" again. I must say I think it's a bit overdone, though. Still figuring out good settings.

[EDIT]
It got to be 2204 landing 18R, and at about 2220, I docked at R-platform (where the big Cargo guys usually reside) to drop off those last packages

Thanks E-J, a nice final leg back to our Hub at EHAM to close the Mission

Thank you very much to all the pilots who have braved the winter weather to assist Father Christmas with his vital work, he asked me to tell you all: "Ho Ho Ho, you've all been very good!"

Here's a repeat of the final Xmas Mission Map for 2013, great freight hauling guys...



The EuroCargo fleet is now back to non-charter status but watch this space for new Missions along these lines in 2014

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

Did you really stay up late, just to close the Mission, Dominic? 

Thanks for setting things up like this! I really enjoyed watching the map "grow" as the mission progressed.
Curious as to what new missions lay ahead in 2014...

[EHM-1465 Dominic]

Did you really stay up late, just to close the Mission, Dominic? 

Nope, I didn't finish work until 0100 
But that worked out really well and it was really enjoyable to see how the map covered more and more of the globe each time I made a new one Glad you enjoyed it E-J.

As to new ones... don't want to spoil the surprise just yet
