    No problem, and quite right too! The Howard is far too fast. However, I can offer people the Beech 18 amphibian, the Douglas C-47 Skytrain and the Fiat G.18V. All are on my Skydrive, all are twin props, and all will cruise in the indicated speed range.

      It's widely recognized that the OZX version of the Grumman Goose is much better than the default. The interior is more attractive, the ground handling more realistic (no more nose-overs!), and the cruise speed improved. In fact, I'd estimate you'd need to fly the HP version of the OZX Goose to maintain the target cruise speed for these flights, as I doubt the default will keep up.

      You can download the OZX Goose here: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/...-hd-redux-120/
      but please do read the warning in red on the download page before installing!
