Does doesn't it.

We will be using twin props, and this is absolutely nessecary for the mountains we will encounter near the boarder of switzerland. Shocked

We will also be doing a brief tour around Switzerland valleys, and also making a more detailed tour around Austria, and concluding our way back down Italy.
Its a very basic outline, but its the outline we will be following! We will be starting at Sicily, making our way accross the left side, then turning down the right side, finally heading back to Sicily

This is the basic outline, but as i said before, i will have ALL details up on the 4th Dec 05.

Dont worry Paul, they are only going to be small hops, nice and relaxing! Probally 1hr 30mins - 2 hours max...Im currently testing out some new scenery and meshes to use. I have had some excellent results, and trust me Paul, when we reach northern Italy, it should be fantastic.... thats when the second engine on the twin comes in handy!

Cheers.

Hi Jimbo...!

At 77 MB for the complete set, I assume that you have got Broadband to download them all in one session... Shocked

...!!

Unless I can find a good friend with Broadband, I will have to download it in sections, depending upon the area we are flying over at the time... Cry

...!
LOL...!

The only good reason for having Broadband... Wink

Cheers Mate...!

If it doesn't reach in time, no worry at all, we can download the scenery in sections. Just thought it would be easier to get it ALL downloaded at once in the first place..

Details will be up in a couple of hours guys, just finishing some work etc.

Cheers..
