A Short series touring along the river.
A Short series touring along the river.
Week 1 of 5 It has been exactly 5 years(to the month) that we started this flight series! Let's explore the new visual and performance offerings of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. In this flight, we search again for the start of the river, then begin our journey to find the end. Flight Plan LSZL>LSZE>LSZR>EDNY
Cruise Speed 90-110kts. Altitude Climb to 11,000, then descend as desired. Aircraft Any single engine propeller aircraft that can maintain 90kts Performance Check! Aircraft must be able to reach 11,000 feet to safely pass terrain! LSZE is a short airstrip! Highly Recommended Aircraft for MFS: (More info to come) Cub Crafter X Cub: Good climb and takeoff performance, perfect speed range. Beechcraft Bonanza G36: Okay takeoff performance, Good climb performance. Okay Aircraft: Pits Special S2S: Great climb and takeoff performance, very sensitive and difficult flying characteristics. Extra 330LT: Great climb and takeoff performance, very sensitive and difficult flying characteristics. DA-40-NG: Long takeoff roll, good climb performance. Flight Design CTSL: Poor climb performance, It can, but will take a while to achieve 11,000ft. JMB Aircraft VL-3: Poor climb performance, It can, but will take a while to achieve 11,000ft. Robin Cap 10: Long takeoff roll, okay climb performance. Cessna 172: Okay takeoff performance, okay climb performance. Not Recommended: ICON A5: Low speed, poor climb performance. Can reach 11,000ft in a slow climb. Robin DR400/100 Cadet: Long takeoff roll/poor takeoff performance, poor climb performance. Cessna 152: Poor climb performance. Can reach 11,000ft in a slow climb. Zlin Aviation Savage Cub: Too slow for this flight, good takeoff and climb performance. Scenery Default! Finally! We can all fly with the same scenery. Simulator Version I will be flying on the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, Followers in FSX, P3D, and X-plane are always welcome. Multiplayer Server For this first flight, we will fly on the East USA server. At this time, JoinFS does not work well likely because the simconnect that is used(it causes major FPS loss). Weather & Time Real world weather or fair weather if real world is not adequate. If you would like to see the same time as me, set your time to 6PM Local/4:00PM UTC at Locarno. Notes Check back before group flight for updates/changes that may occur. |
