Sounds like good fun :) I recently got World of AI to work, kinda.

Indeed, Africa truly is in that rainy season. Hot and humid, thunderstorms are very frequent, so even the simple VOR approaches become a challenge with the old 707.
I did some flights with modern glass planes before and it's really distracting every time to just watch some needles in IMC then, when going on the older planes (which I love).
But I find it very rewarding to go like this and learn the nav stuff there, even making mistakes.

I'm always setting me up with charts and maps, but no "moving" stuff at all, so the only way to determine my position are those needles.
Surely not a big thing for some rw guys like Lou, but I think that quite some sim only pilots will struggle there on the first attempts. At least I did, and still do sometimes.


Haven't got World of AI here, but UT2 does a good job for the bigger spots so far. I did a flight to Lagos (DNMM) now, another thunderstorm in 26 degrees Celsius, and the airport was populated with e. g. Virgin Nigeria planes.
I'm not so much into installing flight plans and such, I just want to have some one-click-traffic, so to say. But I've only heard good things about World of AI so far.
