For my final leg - Ushuaia to Rothera - I’m going to go with the plane that I had envisioned all along. Imagine my surprise when I landed at Ushuaia and spotted not my Q400 - but that quirkly Antanov An-24RV…!
Rothera should be well within the range of the An-24 - if I can figure out how to fly it…(and more importantly - start it!)…
I have these moments in FSX quite offten, especialy with the VORs where there is quite mismatch between what is in game and on SkyVector at least in Africa 
On my way to Rothera - and I have NO IDEA how to navigate this An-24. I mean…I’m completely lost in this thing. And for some reason, the GPS doesn’t work (it won’t let me input data) - and the radios are all Russian and I have no idea how to convert their settings to VOR/NDB stuff. So I’m having to cheat and use my IVAP map for navigation. You can see my progress live…

This airplane is such a quirky beast. I couldn’t get the APU to work either - the thing starts winding up, but never lights off. I suspect maybe the later versions of XP 10.xx screwed up the APU logic. Fortunately, there is a provision for a GPU…and I was able to get the engines running using power from that. The only compass that seems to be indicating anything useful is the wet compass…but even that should be suspect as we work our way further south.
All I know is that the weather better be VFR at Rothera or I’m in big trouble…LOL…
Looks like you are about half way and on course. Good luck @BeachAV8R. I’ll have I’ll have a barrel aged stout and some ambient temperature Chipwiches for you in the warming hut 
Looking forward to it…! I’m starting a slow climb - starting to wonder if I have enough fuel. I think my fuel flow indicators are showing 430 kg / hr of fuel burn per side and I think the fuel remaining is 800 kg per side…but there is an inner and outer scale on that gauge…so I dunno. And now I have a “USE O2” annunciator on and a warning tone that I don’t know how to silence… EDIT - I guess I’ll know when I have 1000 KG total when those lights illuminate…LOL…
Aha! Found it. It is not very vaguely labeled HORN OFF… 
Whoddathunk it?
Oh wow…that is an unfortunate feature. I clicked my mouse on the windscreen on accident…opened the cockpit window, the cabin fully depressurized and I have a black screen now. LOL…
Now that’s a future NTSB phrase we don’t ever want to see cockpit designers! 
Hmm…well, if this cabin doesn’t repressurize soon, I guess I’ll have to head down until my black screen turns normal (hopefully)…that was a screw up…
OK…I can catch a glimpse of the cockpit when I switch from external view to cockpit…and it appears that the cabin differential and altitude are starting to show a repressurization…we’ll see what happens…
I’m alive! The view is slowly changing from black to dim…! LOL… I couldn’t find an O2 mask…I’ll bet if I had, it might have pulled me back faster.
In Russian plane, want window open? Window open!
Also a great way to rid cockpit of fly hitchhiking in box lunch.
OK…600 KG per side left. Pretty sure I’m gonna make it unless something drastic happens. But it will be close-ish… If there is weather, I will just have to descend to just above sea-level and drive toward the airport and hope the mountains don’t get me first…since I don’t have a GPS or navaids at Rothera… The approach plate shows an NDB and DME in 2010, but I’m not seeing any navaids in X-Plane…
Land HO!
some time ago I was wondering about the exact same thing looking on the An-24 and Yak-40
anyway, great that you made it! I am still enjoying hospitality of South Africa, but should finally take off and point somewhere south (still don’t know what station(s) available in FSX down there) 
LOL - thats the sort of thing I’d do. It must be something to do with southerly latitude. 
They do have English cockpit versions - so it isn’t so much the labeling in the cockpit as the crazy SHORAN and other stuff. I don’t know what any of it does (cue @EinsteinEP )
