Leaving Baghdad in the morning after a good nights rest . Heading down to OIBB

***Bry Rosier*** · November 12th, 2009, 04:50

Got nice winds up here and may be able to make Jask , bit of a dilemma , If I lose the winds then .... eek

***Bry Rosier*** · November 12th, 2009, 07:35

Safe arrival at OIZJ Jask . Generous winds allowed me to go for this airport . Have had a few problems these days with Active Sky and Met Charts giving me positive winds and FSX deciding it would be hilarious to throw the complete opposite at me for the entire leg but luckily today it behaved itself and winds were generally as predicted

Okay dokey , The winds say continue towards Allahabad so heading off , Jask - Jodphur OIZJ - VIJO on FSX using ASX for weather and REX2 for Effects . Dawn start

Diverted early to Turbat Intl OPTU so I can un-install Active Sky

Starting to have the same view.

It's remarkable how a sophisticated weather program can take good weather data from the net, massage it to create an excellent rendition of that real world weather and project along a flight path, and then generate just the opposite weather when it sends the parameters to FSX. Rather clever programming, by any standard.

Leaving OPTU - VIJO using REX2 dynamic real-world weather , winds can only get better

***Bry Rosier*** · November 17th, 2009, 07:32

Much better , Arrived safely at VIJO with winds similar to those expected

***Bry Rosier*** · November 17th, 2009, 07:45

Duenna flight stats from previous leg and this leg showing a much closer depiction of winds as judged against local metar conditions

Both weather flight planners showed winds similar to real winds map but depicted in FSX , REX was close but ASX was completely opposite for most of the time

I appreciate the lack of weather stations in the area to pin down exact conditions .. Grumble over

keep on

Wow, some of you guys are getting really scientific about wind conditions. I just fire up the engines and hope for the best on any given day.

***Bry Rosier*** · November 17th, 2009, 08:07

LOL Moses , I agree , I usually get in slam the throttles forward and take what I`m given , but this Modern run I`ve been trying to choose the best times and conditions to "go for it " This ASX - FSX thing has been annoying me a bit during this run and spoiling my enjoyment of my favourite hobby . Hopefully now

***Bry Rosier*** · November 17th, 2009, 08:41

Going to push on to Allahabad VIAL ,next checkpoint

***Bry Rosier*** · November 17th, 2009, 10:53

Arrived safe at foggy Allahabad

I wonder if this fog has lifted at any time since I was last here weeks ago

VIAL checkpoint reached

***Bry Rosier*** · November 18th, 2009, 03:20

Time to leave Allahabad and head to Myanmar VIAL - VYTD (Thandwe) A very "Middle Earth" sounding name

REX2 for the weather

***Bry Rosier*** · November 18th, 2009, 07:03

Nice winds across India but copped a nasty headwind across the Bengal Bay causing fuel range to leave me 15 mins short of destination :( Hoped to arrive with plenty to spare ! Still a quick decision to land to land on a little Dirt strip on island of Manaung VYMN at night !! Couldn`t see the ground so totally relied on instruments and luck to touchdown , As it happened was very smooth

And had a lovely Sunset along the way . Gonna spend the evening here and have a walkabout to find some fuel for the Cirrus and for me

Not sure why the Duenna graphic doesn`t show but you can see the flight here
