  • Around the World Lap 5 - --- Episode 33: Pony Air-Express- 1861 St. Joseph Missouri --Thu 9pm eastern



    Hi pilots! Looks like its time for another trip back in time in those majestic Herky-birds!


    This week HQ has requested that we set the Singularity Drive to October 26, 1861. The "Pony Express" has announced its closure as of this date and is left with large amounts of undelivered mail as a result of a last minute mailing frenzy. Our mission on Thursday will be to make one final delivery to the Pony Express station at St. Joseph Missouri.



    Thursdays flightplan is as follows:

    City Of Colorado Springs Mun, Colorado Springs (KCOS)
    Renner/Goodland Mun, Goodland (KGLD)
    Kearney Mun, Kearney (KEAR)
    Rosecrans Meml, St Joseph (KSTJ)



    A flightplan .PLN file for this flight can be found here:

    This flight will take place using JoinFS!

    Aircraft:
    As always with these Around the World flights the preferred aircraft is the timeless Captain sim C130 Hercules, but feel free to use any cargo prop that can maintain 250 KIAS at around 13,000 ft. Please do Not bring a jetliner to this event because they stick out like a sore thumb and are a distraction.

    Not sure what to fly?

    For those who don't have or don't want to fly the C-130, Storm was kind enough to document which are the best planes for these "Around the World" cargo flights. This should help you decide.
    • C-97 Stratofreighter Popular, quality freeware that comes with an installer (v2) available here, or without an installer (v3) but with extra models and separate optional extra mods and liveries here (look in the Cargo props section).
    • C-133 Cargomaster Largest aircraft with massive payload. Easy to fly (with practice). Keeps up with the C-130. Download it here (look in the Cargo props section; install both v1 + cumulative v1.3 upgrade). Warning: a small number of pilots have frame rate problems when flying this aircraft.
    • An-12 Most similar to C-130. Most extras (airbrake, autothrottle, paradrop). Russian annotations. Most difficult to fly. Download it here (look in the Cargo props section).
    • An-32 Most frame-rate friendly. Best cockpit model. Easy to fly except long spool time. Needs refueling on long flights. Download with an installer here.
    • Howard 500 Easy for piston engine pilots. Best climber. Tail-dragger. Performance tails off at altitude. Poorest frame rates. Download it here (look in the Cargo props section).
    • C-119 Boxcar Easiest to fly. Download it here (look in the Cargo props section).
      • Re-engined (French) variant: Faster. Normal climb rates.
      • Normal engine variants: Slower. Half the climb rate so gets left behind on short-medium length flights.
