Giriraja's RTW Flight

[Gaura Mohana 23]

I decided that it would be a good idea to do a COMPLETE Round The World flight, and as this is my primary FS forum i thought to keep a diary of my progress right here.... (and ofcourse i plan to post hundreds of screenshots per leg if i can)

[Alexander Wurz 42]

How about a Stop in LOWI? should be fun, an approach through clouds towards a valley..

As Plane you could use the pmdg 747 or md-11 for the long ranges.

[Gaura Mohana 23]

I''ll consider LOWI..

. Please vote in the Polls, and stay tuned for snapshots of my (completed) AGR-DEL flight

Lockheed C-130 Hercules.

[Thralni 24]

Interesting stuff! It's nice that you're gonna hop by PBM. The default scenery for that one is horrible, of course, but might I suggest a payware scenery? It's only 5 euros and enhances the airport a lot. You can get it at Simmarket, just search for "zanderij". You might find it nice to fly a SLM (Surinam Airways) plane for that leg. There are some repaints for SLM planes, just search around avsim and you'll find them.

Other than that, happy flying!
