  • Friday Night Flights: Peru(9:00pm ET)

    Summary
    [From Wikipedia..]
    Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization in Caral, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty with its capital in Lima, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its Independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the battle of Ayacucho which took place three years after proclamation is when Peru ensured its independence. After achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the Pacific. Subsequently, the country had undergone changes in of government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.

      Which are the World War II warbirds on Craig Richardson's excellent site that you're suggesting?

        Missing airports:
        SPHO is OK.
        SPVN is not in FSX: no nearby alternates.
        SPHY is OK.
        SPPE is not in FSX: nearest alternate is SPTE, 12 nmi north.
        SPKI is not in FSX: no nearby alternates.
        SPZO is OK.

            So do I really have to use WW2 fighters?
            I can only find ones, but either the gauges don't move, or theres no VC, or it won't be able to keep 170-220

              DDD,

              There is always the default P-51. Additionally Storm carries the fantastic Bristol Beaufighter in his OneDrive.

              Safe skies

                I manually applied Orbx Vector Airport Elevation Correction "enable" to Storm's listed known airports, SPHO, SPHY and SPZO. I'll be in Peru in Dave Garwood's Bristol Beaufighter, Storm's v2.0. Alternately (in the unlikely event of problems), I'll use the A2A (Aircraft Factory) F4U Corsair. I'll see you in group flight.
                Respects, Bob ...

                      Typing Ctrl+Shift+L removes all red tags, including names. And puts them back again if you type that again. It's a toggle. However, it's normal not to see your own name.
