Copyright owner: Shigeru Tanaka Production date: June 7 - July 28, 1999 MiGMan's notes After zooming past the Great Pyramids and Sphynx for a while I pulled up the ATC menu and found there are a few aiports close by. Re-starting I used Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 's Flight Planner to lay in a flight from Cairo International to Port Said, at the mouth of the Suez canal. Seeing as I'm yet to plumb the mysteries of the navigational gear in FS2002, I reverted to IFR technique.
"I Follow Roads" On reaching the sea Port Said airport was off to the left and I was instructed to enter right base and land on RWY 010. I could see the lights of another aircraft to the North and the radio revealed it was a Cessna. I took my time getting set up for landing - the Hawk slows down dramatically when you lower the gear. Flap settings also dramatically affect trim - and entered a slow right turn to final. I was told by ATC to follow the aircraft in front - which I could see, still on the runway. Now here's where the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 drags you in... at about 200 feet altitude and focussed on the approach I was suddenly told by ATC to abort the landing - "Go around", I think they said, I can't remember exactly what but I got the message! Cockpit details These screenshots were taken in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 in the Scenic Wonder flight: "Gaza at Dawn". |
