  • Friday Night Flights: Caribbean Islands #4 (9:00pm ET)


    This is hop 4 of 4 in this region.

    Summary
    Our last flight for now in the Carribean. Our next flight location is some of the least traversed in the Flight Simulation world by virtual pilots, any guesses?

    Time-zone BreakDown: Friday, January 31st, 2014 at:
    9PM Eastern
    8PM Central
    7PM Mountain
    6PM Pacific

    Flight Plan: (making a custom flight based on plane speed, this will be up 2 hrs prior to flight)
    Starting Airport: TAPA
    Stops: TKPN, TNCM, TISX, TJVQ, TJSJ
    Ending Airport: TJSJ
    Skyvector link (Build the hops if some are missing.)

    I would like to fly the FlightSim Developers P-38ST. The "ST" is a variant of the FSD P-38 modified by Storm.

      Glad you still enjoy flying it, Coast! :eagerness:
      However, I'll fly the Bristol Beaufighter.

          The installer for the base pack makes it easy. And the little step2 mod pack I've added isn't essential, but it is worthwhile and the installation instructions are clear.

          Here are some figures for the Beaufighter that may accelerate your learning process:

          Max speed (sea-level): 307 mph (267 knots)
          Max speed (10,000 ft): 297 mph (258 knots)

          Stall speed (full weight, full flaps, gear down): 83 mph (72 knots)

          Max gear and flap speeds:
          Gear: 170 mph
          Flaps 1: 160 mph
          Flaps 2: 150 mph
          Flaps 3: 140 mph
          Flaps 4: 130 mph
          Flaps 5: 125 mph
          Flaps 6: 125 mph

          Final approach speed: 110 mph
          Touchdown speed: 90 mph

          Typical cruise for group flights:
          Speed: 253 mph (220 knots)
          Prop setting: 2,400 rpm
          Throttle: 72% (= 5.5 boost)

          Ensure you have your ABS on before approach as the brakes are weak and need all the help they can get! The ABS button is on the upper left of the autopilot pop-up (Shift+4). Green light = on. (ABS is part of the step2 mod pack.) You should easily be able to limit the airplane to less than a 2,000 ft landing roll.
