[Storm]

Hovering over the land of 10,000 lakes.

Week 26: Minnesota KSGS>MN63>KMKT>KFRM>KAXA FLIGHT PLAN Although all legs are nominally GPS direct, we may break off to follow roads/rivers. Download the PLN flight plan file here. Flight plan in tabular form, flight maps and airport diagrams to come. CRUISE Speed: 90 knots Altitude: Low AIRCRAFT Small slow helicopters. For example: Robinson R22 (default) Bell 206 (default) Bell 47 floats (msFlights Vault) Bell 47G skids (Storm's OneDrive, Vintage Hangar) Bell 212 (Cera Sim payware) I will be flying the Bell 47G skids RESTRICTIONS No fixed-wing aircraft. No fast or large helicopters. WHICH VERSION, CLASSIC OR STEAM? We will be using Classic, not Steam. We will continue to use Classic in future weeks for the Great 48! until more critical add-ons are working, at which point we'll move to Steam. WEATHER Server specified default is OK. However... Recommended: Real-world live weather generators, e.g. FSrealWX lite or Active Sky Next. FSrealWX lite is freeware available in our TeamSpeak file browser. Why not try it? Active Sky Next is payware. I'll be using real-world weather (Active Sky Next). SCENERY Default OK. Highly recommended: FSgenesis US landclass (inexpensive payware). FTX Global 1.30 and Vector 1.20 good but optional (expensive payware). Vector users please see recommendations here. RECOMMENDED SCENERY ADDITIONS FOR FTX GLOBAL USERS You can download the whole series of freeware FTX global airport packs here. All airports except MN63 are Orbx airports.:eagerness:

Reminder: Bring your small slow chopper to KSGS for a 9pm eastern departure!
