FsP World Tour - Season #2 (Leg #10)

[Ceemosp]

splendid but just a bit too slow to follow the fellows with their ATR

<-- too slow to follow my Saab340B's

[Tracker801]

Nah, I will stick to my beloved Conny. Yes, the classic Lockheed L1049 Constellation

Hmm: I was considering that one...

Looks like I'm left with a good 'ol' DC-4, then!

Or wait: isn't that a beauty of a DC-3 I see there waiting for my eager hands?

Hey Canada_Boy,

Simply upload your flights whenever you can! I.e. you can easily fly 6-7 of them and upload them all in one go.

There is only one rule: do not fly (and upload) a leg ahead of the schedule (Right Aristotoles? )

Thanks again DBE im hoping to be ready by saturday so i can join you guys
only around 18ish hours of flying all start right away.

oh and I wont

Quick question to DBE: I've uploaded flights 1 through 5, and was attempting leg 6 today. Bought myself a nice posky 737 and promptly blew an engine
out of it. I was able to make it back to NTSU, in fact it was the best landing I've had so far. Do I upload the blown leg and try it again? Or does
the page handle stuff like this?

Good thing I didn't sell the EMB-170, those 737 engines are _expensive_.

I can hardly wait to fly my shiney new ATR-72 Thursday Unfortunately I won't be online until about 2300 GMT that evening. Anyone else
not able to join until then, come on and fly with me

[DSW334]

I won't be able to join for the next two weeks.. I will be sitting in deep africa and unfortunately cannot bring my fs9 pc with me.

The FSPWT PIREP handles maydays. Which means that, if you were attempting leg #6 and had a mayday, simply upload your flight and it will count as leg #6.

Pierre can you recommed FSNav ?

Yes I can, I find it very user-friendly (perhaps because I use it since ages) and powerfull. I use it for
- Flight planning (done for that)
- fuel estimation:
- Flight time estimation:

You can export the flight in FS format which acan be imported in most FMC.

For each plane you can define a speed and lb/hour fuel while climbing, cruising, descending. Then when your flight plan is done you
have an indication which is quite acurate (I usually add 20 to 30 minuts for the taxi time and turns during approach.

The only thing missing is the possibility to enter the average wind during cruise. A turn around is to modify the cruise speed.

Just one critic: The jetways names in FSNav are totally unknown by the FMC.
Stranges bugs making some airport data in some regions unavailable.

Take care to have only the troubles coverred in their FAQ because they don't answer to anything on their forum.

Dennis, wish I could join you on Friday, but I've got a hot date Friday night...and Saturday night. And, no, she doesn't resemble Otto in any
shape, form or fashion

Do I refly leg 6, or skip it and start at leg 7 tonight? Many thanks...

Looks like this question didn't get through earlier (had a county-wide power outage today).

[DBE]

Simply skip leg #6 (as you have already flown it) and continue with leg #7.

My FSInn breaking Problem solved?
Yesterday I figured out that my breaking problem maight have all come from my Joystick.
I started getting trouble in another program that uses joystick also. So I was searching my old joystick. When found and freed of the
dust and connected I discovered no problems in that program anymore. So it looks my joystick isnt working 100% correct anymore and
caused the trouble. The only thing I dont get is, that when I dont have FSInn running the break worked perfect everytime I tested that.

I didnt had the time to test it (the old joystick) with FSInn, but I am convident that it will work. If so then here my appologize to the FSInn
team for blaming the breaks malfunctionening to their programm.

About the prop for the next leg:
I am still searching..
So far I have installed a

- Saab 2000 (or 340?)
- PC-21
- PC-6

all not that satisfying.... I hate props).

The PC-6 is not really useable..I can't have it not seeing the rwy at start..
The Saab has that much idle power that you may never realease the break in any way...
The PC-21 (pilatus) would be the most funny...little small swiss developed jet training aircraft with 2 sits. But no autopilot ..very labil, heavy
g penaltiy for sure, and not sure if the fuel would be enought to fly 2 hours.

ATR's I did not install..
I know that they are the one that comes closed to a normal jet aircraft...except that the ATR have some difficult to keep the hight in turns.

Any other idea for a good prop aircraft?
The condition: Should not be slow, and maybe usable for lukla too.

That might be quite of a challenge, HB!
