Paul, I checked out the airspace along the route and if we stay under 4600ft we are fine (real world airspace but I'm not sure about FS airspace). Also the scenery will be a bit dull until we reach Self Field, but not to worry I know a lot about the area (I should I live here Tongue

) like did you know, the Doolittle Raid pilots trained at KUZA, also I could move up the starting time 30mins, as I didn't realize a1's tour was at 8:00GMT Undecided

Also I think we should post the download links to the planes, for people who want them. I'll fly the Cessna L-19 "Bird-dog"

Hello Rav...!

For me; The Default Beech Baron 58...
(Personally, I like sticking to the default FS 2004 aeroplanes. It makes them appear correctly in the Multiplayer flights).... Kiss

Paul,

I'm using FSX and if everything works as it should it will go nice and smooth Wink

I'm not sure about FS9 but in FSX Self Field has a 1700ft grass RWY so a Baron shouldn't have a whole all of trouble get in.

Important Notice To Pilots:
After takeoff please go into a left hand pattern around the airport at 1000ft above airport elevation, until everyone is airborne Wink

Landings will be done the same way until everyone is on the ground (hopefully in one piece Grin

)

Just a note:
Sometimes there are various problems associated with the mix of FS 2004 and FSX in Multiplayer flights!... Cry

...!

There is often a variation between the two scenery meshes, scenery appearance, and airfield elevations, etc.

The two Pilots often see two different versions of the Sim, as may be expected!

We have observed those effects during a recent Multiplayer outing, with a mix of FS 2004 and FSX users...sometimes confusing... Cry

...!

Most of the present Fliers in the various Tours use FS 2004 to ensure compatibility*... Wink

...!

We'll have to see how it goes... Roll Eyes

...!

Paul...G-BPLF....FS 2004....Beech Baron 58.

* I have both FSX and FS 2004, but at present, always use FS 2004 for Multiplayer outings... Wink
