Using the Simviation server:



Starting at Cabo Juan Roman (SCAS), we will work our way south to Carlos Ibanez Del Campo Intl (SCCI) in a series of 8 flights.

This is some gorgeous mountain valley coastal scenery, very reminiscent of coastal Norway & the Pacific North-West.


...



Here is the first trip to Occur twice, once on Saturday May 30th, at 3p.m est / 8pm gmt 0, and again on Sunday the 31st, at the same time.




Hop 1 / 8



...


...





Recommend High performance  props for this tour, some of the cruising altitudes are pretty high,
and for those wanting to dip in and out of valleys along the way. Wink
Amphibians will also feel right at home on this trip.


...




Hope to see you there! Smiley

Nothing larger than a King Air, nothing slower than a 182. Wink  But the choice is yours.

I'll be in either a C206 or a Turbo Mentor.

...its only a 26 mile Hop which will be over in a few minutes, so I just need something which is powerful enough to climb out of any valleys without being large and clumsy...

I would liked to have used use my trusty Cessna 150 Aerobat for the short trip, but she may run short of breath... Cry...!

...maybe my more powerful Cessna 182 RG, (with the nice wooden panel), will do the job.... Kiss...!

It's not a default model, but maybe it will appear as a default Cessna 182S in the flight, and look correct!...Wink...!

..so there you go...just need to wait for the "OFF" now... Grin...!

Paul..G-BPLF..FS 2004...feeling a little "Chilly".... Cool..!

(Make her a brown-eyed brunette!).... Wink... Wink...!

Please ignore the nice, straight, red line on the map. Wink

We will be winding our way through the valleys to our destination.

May take a little bit longer, but the views are definitely worth it. Cool

The actual route will more resemble the blue line. Smiley

Wow....

If you've tried out the flight in advance, and found that the baby Cessna 150 will do the job, as it's a short flight, I may wheel out my speedy 150 as well... Kiss...!

http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH1&fsec=0&fname=C150_V2.ZIP

She is a very nippy bird, capable of <140 Knots... Shocked... Grin....!

Registration: SE-ETD.

(I fitted a handy Radio Altimeter read-out gauge to mine)...Wink...!

It's not default, so hopefully it should appear as a default Cessna 172 to others...(who don't already have it)...Wink...!

Paul....G-BPLF..FS 2004... Cool...!

Just be aware Paul, that I never tried to go over the mountains with the C150. Cheesy Wink  But it does go around them following the blue line above quite nicely.

And I also did a small displacement upgrade on my C150 with the help of Brett to get her to up to a 175kt cruising speed and a 220kt top speed.

My C150  has a C172 engine in it. Grin

Just did the flight in your C150 Paul, and she loved every second of it. Wink

I recommend real world weather, the Global Mesh for the area from SimV (FSX & FS9 versions both available here) and a ceiling limit of 2000ft.  Smiley

P.S. ...I worry about "Real Weather". As a VFR Pilot, "bad weather" is dangerous, and can keep me grounded!

I normally use a FS Skyworld set, and only fly when the situation allows...otherwise, its "Clear Skies"... Kiss...!

Very sorry for missing this, I got home a little later than I thought, and the only one left online was Jordan.

Will not miss the one tomorrow. Wink

Jordan was still on & he told me. Wink

I take a right turn and follow a winding valley that empties out on the opposite end of the runway from the main valley.

Do this flight over in a C150. And stay below 1500ft, and take the way I did, and it's about a 10-15 minute flight, filled with twists and turns and ups and downs.

I had a peek in just after 8:00 PM.....

...noticed a pair of dangerous-looking Harrier GR1's, and thought to myself; "...they're going to wipe the carpet with me and my little Cessna 150!".... Shocked....!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...and a Water Pistol... Embarrassed...!

...and "Terminator 3: Rise of the machines" was on the 'Tele!....Wink.... Wink... Grin....!
