Simviation Forum - European Tour: HOP 2

Paul, just show up in your Turbo Baron. Most of the others will probably do the same thing. The ten minutes or so that you gain flying the hop above 250 knots is minimal. And like James posted anything that flies between 200-250 knots will do fine.

PS it would only be half the fun if you're not there to lead the flight, providing the flightdata.

I downloaded the Legacy and tried it out...
Nice speedy aircraft...
But....
France is littered with loads of Non Directional Beacons (NDB's) rather than VOR's, and unfortunately the Legacy is not fitted with an ADF radio and indicator gauge....
So navigating by NDB's is out, without a new radio re-fit...
Cry

...!
I tried the Lear Jet but that's much too sophisticated for Fozzer...and it never wants to slow down...rather like my Austin Allegro...!!!
So it looks like my Trusty turbo Beech Baron with it's complete radio stack...flying at 220 knots max... Grin

...!

...I may try a Legacy radio refit later on... Wink

...!

Cheers all...!

Paul....NDB's all the way tonight lads... 8)...!
