Title: FSX flight?
Post by: SIM on July 03, 2014, 12:25:30 PM

 The August 2014 edition of Flight Journal has an article titled "Nocturnal Gamble, Gooney Birds and Gutsy Kids in Parachutes". Within that article is a section that describes the flight of the 99th Troop Carrier Squadron from Homestead to RAF St. Mawgan near Newquay in Cornwall.
 
 I have set up flight plans to Natal,Brazil for the C-47/DC-3 aircraft. This will be a LONG set of flights but I thought I would see if there are any folks interested in coming along?
 I am tempted to do the flights on VATSIM instead of a private server.

Anyone interested?

Oh man.. this brings back some fond memories..

SIM and a few others would do FSX sorties running cargo.  The FSX environment, even will silly little things like strobe lights, landing lights, beacons, contrails.. and somebody piping in period music..   sigh..

Yeah, if you want to try something a little off the beaten path, join SIM on one of these adventures.. 

I may have to see if I can get my FSX reinstalled .. it's been off the box for a couple of hardware revisions now.

 :salute

Sounds like fun, but I only fly jets in the VATSIM and FSX.  :salute

 Never flown on Vatsim but I have all the A2A Simulations war birds so I could potentially give a period accurate escort.
When are you thinking of doing this?

As before,
 Ive set up flight plans to Natal, Brazil. Am trying to find charts for each field and put together in .pdf format so I can have all the flight info on my tablet.
 Will be setting up Blue Sky Radio on com2.

 I am going to start the flights in the next couple of days.
 If you are interested, please PM an email address and I will send you the .pdf and .pln(FSX flightplan format) files so that we are on the same page for the flight.
