Leg 13 complete....but....

Wel it had to happen didn't it...LOL.

I'm not superstitious, but FS2002 is rapidly converting me!

I flew most of the leg without any problems, landed safely (twice - more in the report to follow) and.....
discovered that my screenshot utility hadn't worked.

It failed to work initially because I forgot to activate it ::), and then subsequently had some kind of error that meant I ended up with 1 shot.

Fortunately, I've got autosave running, so I'm going to be able to retrieve quite a few shots. I'll reconstruct what I can.

The report will be published in a day or two after I've had chance to collect the pics and put it altogether in the usual way.

I'm very glad you enjoy it. It is a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun too. I'm looking forward to a BIG (real) drink at the end of it! ;D

Even if there aren't any screenshots, we'll all still enjoy the report ;)

Very kind of you to say so Andrew. :)

I've retrieved a few of the approach and landing at Guardiamarina Zanatu.

I've now changed the autosave settings so that in future, I'll have the entire flight stored in 5 minute intervals. If anything similar ever happens again, it shouldn't be a problem capturing the highlights hopefully.

Hmm, spooky stuff John! Glad to hear you made it okay, I'll take a look at the report later when I'm awake.

Mark ;)

Ps. 13 is my lucky number, maybe you should have flown the leg inverted and under every bridge and ladder to prevent trouble?

it's the number of doom...
why didn't you skip 13 altogether and got ahead with 14 after 12
