This crazy Tour!

Post by Omar Campanalunga »

Todd is an airport in Greenland, from here the national company, Air Greenland, makes international flights to Copenhagen with large aircrafts ( The airport is also called Kangerlu... :roll: ) since it is the only airport in the nation that can assist such aircrafts. And he goes first in the crazy tour with 50 airports traveled, he has only 8 flights to finish. Our friend Arturo, that was in his 33 airports, decided to take a little vacation in Honolulu Airport drinking a Pina Colada so, Ted took it in advance and he landed in 인천국제공항 :shock: The biggest airport in South Korea, and one of the most important in Asia. It is currently the fifth largest airport in the world in terms of cargo traffic and Korean Airlines Hub. Finally and finishing the Atlantic part southern of Africa is Alejandro, dancing, singing and drinking in a safari. "Hakuna Matata" my friend! Omar is the last one since he spent all of the fuel budget of the year in Barcelona because he went from a party (fiesta) to another party(fiesta) and another...

You can join this tour viewtopic.php?f=21&t=20136 the Tour will finish in our anniversary 2022. You can flight with any One World Airline, below an example!

The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be?--it is the same the angels breathe.

Here's my next leg departing VHHH for RJBB using the Capt. Crap....opps I mean Capt. Sim 777 a/c. During my decent into RJBB the throttle stuck wide open and noting I did would resolve it. So I shut down one engine planning to fly to final approach and shut down the other to glide to a touchdown. Seemed to be working until I attempted to dial in the freq. for the ILS. That distraction was just enough to cause a crash, so I'm now flying this leg again.

I'm loving this tour. Just landed in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. leg 51 done. I have 7 legs left in this crazy tour. I've been to many airports that I haven't ever been to before and most likely without doing this tour probably would have never gone to. This was a really good idea and I'm having a blast participating in it.

Same thing happened on my second attempt (good old Capt. Crap) but I caught it earlier in the flight. Was able to recover by resetting (selecting the Capt. Crap 777 a/c again) while in flight. I lost the flight plan on the reset but since I was starting my descent I was able to hand fly it to a landing. I've flown the Capt. Crap 777 several times during this Tour but never had the throttles stick open like this. Since I loaded a new livery for this leg that happen to use the PW engine (all the other 777 liveries use the GE engine) I think the problem is associated with that engine.

I had the same problem as you with another add on, after trying many times I finally had to reinstall it.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to take a look at the Capt. Sim forum to see if there is a resolution, and if not I may try updating. If that doesn't work I will not fly the PW engine any more (which means not flying the ANA livery since it was only for the PW engine).

I found this in the capt. Sim Forum, I hope can help you https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl ... 463641/all
