South American Emergency Flight - Guest - 03-30-2008 My first emergency flight for ASHA and it was one of the most hair raising departures I have made for a while. While it may look straight forward, the treeline was right on the edge of the runway and I wasn't sure we would make it. I was barely above stall speed for the first 25 seconds of the departure. Glad to be clear of the trees I lower my climb rate and gain a little speed. Climbing away from the airfield I turn to intercept my published route. Climbing up to cruise altitude of 35oooft. Now in the cruise. I tune into the ATIS as I am cleared for my descent. Established on the ILS I lower the gear and add some more flaps. Now fully configured for landing to runway 23. Looking forward to stretching my legs once we park, I am sure all the emergency cargo will be put to good use. This was a great flight, I knew the departure would be tough as the landing I made on my arrival was a nightmare - still, keeps things interesting :lol: - Guest - 03-30-2008 Awesome shots! Which ground textures / landclass / scenery do you use? - Guest - 03-31-2008 Thanks for the positive feedback on my shots David. I use FS Global - Special Edition, which offers accurate landclass for the entire planet. I then use Ground Environment II PRO for my textures. Finally I use ActiveSky6 for the skies. I would say that as good as the ground addons are, ActiveSky completes the package as it adds a really nice haze/mist effects as you climb to altitude, instead of having a really harsh horizon in the middle of the screen. Thanks again for the feedback.
