G'day Pilots!
It is time to continue our Grand Tour of Australia with the seventh leg this Saturday!
The PLN file is now available at http://tinyurl.com/novawing24-flightplans
As we are starting off at RAAF Richmond, the home of RAAF C-130 operations, it is only fitting that we fly these majestic Herky-birds on this next leg!
I will be flying the Captain Sim C-130J (in RAAF colours of course!). If you don't have it don't worry! I recommend the Howard 500 or the AN-12 both available from Storm's OneDrive as alternatives.
The paint I will be flying can be found at http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/...s-of-hercules/
Scenery Addons
We will be taking in a couple of historic landmarks on this trip, This leg will require a few additional downloads to maximise your enjoyment!
Firstly I have modified an airport for this leg, it is available from my OneDrive along with the Flight plan and includes installation instructions.
Secondly install Power Project V4.2 by Ray Porter. It is available from Simviation http://simviation.com/1/search?submi...ct&categoryId=
Neither of these are a requirement but STRONGLY recommended!
Weather
A word of warning about weather. The Jeppesen loaded weather is nothing even close to correct for this area. In fact it renders operation out of most of the airstrips here not viable. I HIGHLY recommend a weather engine such as Active Sky (payware) or FSrealWX (freeware). Alternatively you can use the Clear Weather function of FSUIPC. If you have any questions about how to do this please ask!
Once again we will be partnering with the VA on this stretch and there will be two VA routes featured this week!
Our Flight plan is as follows:
YSRI -> YBTH -> (MSF2352) YPKS -> YCDO -> (MSF2343) YGTH -> YNAR
However there will be lots of sights to see in between!
