  • Australia Grand Tour Leg 19 - YMAV - YFLI


    G'day Pilots!

    This week we start at the site of Australasia's largest Airshow Avalon Victoria and we wind our way down and cross Bass Straight and head to Tasmania.

    In honour of taking to the skies where our friends from Iris Simulations reside the recommended aircraft for this flight will be the Iris Battlefield Airlifter. This is a magnificent piece of kit can be purchased from your favourite Flight sim retailer or direct from www.irissimulations.com.au

    If you want to see it in action have a look at my review of aircraft on YouTube

    The Flight Plan is now available to download from my OneDrive!





    This will be taking place in FSX:Classic. Some special scenery is REQUIRED for this flight. It is now finalized "Novawing24 AusTour airports v2.5" and is available for download with the flight plan. PLEASE READ THE README and take note of the section regarding my previous versions of this pack.



    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!

    Tonight two VA routes will be featured, MSF2222 and MSF2223.

    A Special Thank You to OZ Flyer and the VA Management. For all participants of the group flight who lodge PIREPS during this tour a 2x Time Bonus will be applied! Please add "Part of Novawing24's Australia Tour" to your PIREP comments to be eligible.


    Departure Time: 2100AEST (0600 ET 1100Z)

    Recommended Aircraft: Iris Simulations Battlefield Airlifter (payware) / AN-32 from Storm's OneDrive (freeware) / Captain Sim C-130 (payware)
    Recommended Terrain Mesh: Orbx Freeware Australia Holgermesh
    REQUIRED Scenery: Novawing24's Aus Tour Airports V2.5 (available now from my OneDrive)
    Optional: Orbx Australia (Payware) + Ozx Australia (Freeware)



    Safe Skies

    Came across this interesting article in the news this morning over my coffee, could be interesting...


    Bass in the Straight?

    Recently trawlers operating in Bass Straight between the Australian mainland and Tasmania have reported an unexpected source of entertainment while working. Jim Carneflow who operates the "Navaho" fishing the rich Salmon stocks there were working late when their quiet radio (which had been left on unknowingly started playing the latest dance music.
    "Bazza almost jumped overboard when it came through! we were bringing in possibly the biggest haul I have ever seen when the radio started blaring with something about dirty talk and heels." Chuckles Jim as Barry Hindoff shoves him roughly.
    "Well we're like 60 miles from shore none of the commercial stations should work this far out but somehow it was playing!" Chimed in the third member of the crew Davey Johns.
    "Its a real mystery."

    This builds on mystery surrounding Bass Straight in the last 30 years which has likened it to Australias own Bermuda Triangle with reports of strange weather phenomenon in the area.

    When asked about it the Bureau of Meterology stated that atmospheric changes and refraction of radiosignals from the troposphere could easily explain what the crew aboard the trawler heard.

    In the meantime the crew is just happy to have something to listen to whilst they work!
