Thanks, I did the Sim rate 2X

was at home yesterday, and took off the morning, and just checked from time to time, saving flights for incase something went wrong, and when entering SA airspace, normal sim rate, and the landing - almost in the trees

Edited:

Oh no just saw now the one township is flooded on the left. Shame!

Yes they are. Sad

Have to work on the contact points in the CFG. I am a bit disappointing, as the rest is a great model! Well considering the last Posky 747 i had didn't even had wheel textures...
