• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

One of the longer flights, but not too bad. Plenty of islands to look at. I split this leg into two parts. First heading to Morotai and it's radio. Then turning for Naha. Clear weather and a headwind all the way. Should of brought more fuel on this one. Landed with 36gal remaining.
Climbing to altitude.
Near Morotai.
Islands in the distance.
Approaching Naha.

Down at RP17. FSX lock up a few minutes into the flight. One of those 10min wait then it resumes things. Lost connection to duenna. Restarted the flight. And just now my keyboard decides to crap out. Another one installed, seems to be working.
I estimate about 10 minutes of flying before the freeze.
