Push for 3,000 Hours

[Harold Henderson]

For the last several months I have been pushing to reach 3,000 hours - now at 2992 (STD). Thought I'd share the last 2 flights in making that goal.

First flight is AAL1830 KCLT-KLAS.

Pushed at KCLT.

Tune in tomorrow for the return flight to Charlotte and 3,000 roll-over!

Congratulations on your hours and your support for our VA.

I really like your second pic climbing out of KCLT...looks good.

Your shot of KLAS reminded me of an issue I just solved last week. As you know I moved to P3Dv4 months ago and with some of the sales this holiday I purchased Orbx's KSAN airport. After installing I did a little flight from KLAS to KSAN. To my surprise my FSDreamteam KLAS airport had all the gates floating 10ft. in the air along with the highways and vehicle traffic around the perimeter of the airport. The taxi way was slit into two layers with the marked/labeled layer floating above me. Only way to taxi to the runway was to utilize the overhead view. After perusing thru FSDreamteam's and Orbx's forums I found there is a file offered by Orbx that fixes "...an
issue with my custom flatten file..." associated with the Orbx Southern California Region product. Once I install the file and made a couple of other recommended changes, problem solved.

Anyway, didn't mean to highjack your post. Have a good return flight and I may join you if I see you online.

Nice goin' Harold. I used to try to keep ahead/on par with you on hours some time ago, but that has fallen short now. I am a little over 2730 hrs.

Probably won't catch you now.

Dawn. "16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light (the sun) to rule the day and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth ..." Genesis 1. The Amplified Bible. (1987). (Ge 1:16–17).

Hmmm. Looks like an interesting approach to overcast at 300ft. Looks like I'll miss the bad wx.
