Spookster's South Pacific return with Betty

**Spookster67** · August 29th, 2015, 12:47

A second run in this event, this time with the Mitsubishi G4M1 (Betty). I'm using the revised Flight Model posted by Paul here. Flying in FSX with FSRealWx Pro.

Starting at Malita (RP17) and heading south...

Down safe at WAMH.

Delighted to see the Type 1 bomber in the air. (Or, as the pilots called it, the type one lighter.)

Have fun on your run Martin ... Good Luck!

**Spookster67** · August 29th, 2015, 22:53

Thanks guys! (And I'm hoping this one doesn't become a lighter!!)

Next leg, heading for WA1A via WAMR (possibly with an extra stop at WAMR, depending on rate of progress).

**Spookster67** · August 29th, 2015, 23:41

Down safe at WAMR, to split this long leg into two parts.

Now continuing the leg to WA1A, from WAMR.

**Spookster67** · August 30th, 2015, 09:57

Down safe at WA1A.

On towards WABB.

**Spookster67** · August 30th, 2015, 13:43

Down safe at WABB

And on to Hayfield, HFD. Heading via the coast, NDB ZN and overfly Tadji airfield (TAD), before crossing the mountains to look for the field. Hoping to pick up the Wewak NDB as a check I'm in roughly the right place when I start looking!

**Spookster67** · August 31st, 2015, 02:36

Down safe at Hayfield, HFD. Reasonably good vis today, so no problems finding the field.

**Spookster67** · August 31st, 2015, 03:49

And now down safe at Gusap, GSP. Another good vis flight, so again no problems this time with locating the field. Left the descent a bit late, so a quick circuit required to lose some height and speed.

**Spookster67** · August 31st, 2015, 03:57

A quick refuel and on towards JCB. Departure from Gusap will be interesting. Need to try to clear a 12,000 foot ridge within about 30nm. I don't think Betty will manage that, so we'll probably have to fly further south before attempting the ridge...

**Spookster67** · August 31st, 2015, 06:27

Down safe at JCB.

Moving on to AYTK. May not make it to 17,000 on this leg, we'll see.

**Spookster67** · August 31st, 2015, 10:34

Down safe at AYTK.

A series of short hops coming up now, where I'll just post the landings: MKO, AYBK, AGGE, AGGM, AGGV, AGGF.

**Spookster67** · September 1st, 2015, 08:25

Down at MKO. Onwards to AYBK...

**Spookster67** · September 1st, 2015, 08:39

My flight to AYBK was going fine, right up until one of my cats hopped up onto my PC box and stood on the on/off button!! Instant termination of FSX, Duenna, Windows, and everything else!!

Ah well, at least I was only a few minutes in. Start again...

How many lives does the cat retain after this incident?

All of them, thankfully! But she is now shut out of the study so that further incidents are avoided!! (Had it been at the end of a 4 hour wildcard flight in February, I think I may not have been so understanding!)

Anyway, down safe at AYBK.
