  • GREAT 48! Grand tour of US states. Week #29: Missouri - PROPLINERS!


    Show me your propliners in the Show Me state.



    Week 29: Missouri
    KHAE>KMKC>KXNA


    FLIGHT PLAN
    • Legs are NOT GPS direct.
    Download the PLN flight plan file here.
    Flight plan in tabular form, flight maps and airport diagrams here.

    CRUISE
    Speed: 220 knots
    Altitude: As required.

    AIRCRAFT
    Propliners = propeller-driven passenger commercial airliners.
    The "go to" aircraft for this flight is the Connie (Lockheed Constellation).
    You can find a freeware 749 Connie (like the banner above) on my OneDrive here.

    The Connie is not the only appropriate aircraft. There are many. Others include:
    • Lockheed Electra
    • Airspeed Ambassador
    I'll be flying the Ambassador. It's available free from Robert James Richardson.

    RESTRICTIONS
    No jets.
    No cargo aircraft.
    No military aircraft.


    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 I can assure pilot security for the flight, at which point we'll include Steam in joint Classic/Steam flights, leaving no one behind!

    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. It now works for both Steam and Classic. 30% off special offer till April 15th!
    I'll be using real-world weather (Active Sky Next). Arrival runways have ILS.

    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.
    Our first stop, KMKC (Wheeler downtown, Kansas City), is an Orbx airport.:eagerness:

        Reminder! Join me in your propliner at KHAE for a 9pm eastern departure.
        Trivia: In this montage, what do the various parts have to do with our flight tonight? Answers during the flight itself please.
