    Intro
    Guten Tag! It is the first week of Spring in Germany. Let's smell the fresh flowers on the west side while we follow the river into the Netherlands. It has been a few months since my last Rhein river flight and I will be happy to see everyone back to enjoy this last run to the end of the river. We will begin in Köln, Germany, and complete our journey at Rotterdam, Netherlands.

    Full installation is required before the flight starts.
    Ensure you are using the correct type codes as noted below.

    No Jets!
    I will be flying a Cessna 182 Skylane(Shown as C172 in SimLink)

    Scenery
    Default works fine.
    ORBX is an optional enhancement.

    Weather
    I will be using Active Sky Next.
    Please use a real world weather source unless conditions are unfavorable.
    Fair conditions is also acceptable.

    Time Sync
    Please set your simulator's local time after switching airports to EDDK to:
    16:00 or 4:00PM
    If you arrive 15 minutes early, please set your time to 15:45 or 3:45PM
    If you arrive 15 minutes late, please set your time to 16:15 or 4:15PM
    Time Sync is not required, however it will help create a uniform experience for all participants.

    NOTAM
    Be prepared to watch a couple short videos during the flight.
    This means you may want to have autopilot ready and available at any time.

    Recommended SimLink type codes when you connect using vPilot:
    Closest Match Enter the Type Code

        Can't download the flight plan. Server not responding. (Storm's Hangar is still online, so if it's the same device the URL may not be accurate.)

        Edit: Sorted quickly by Travis. Works now. Thanks! :eagerness:

          A few pics, first in the General Aircraft Monospar ST-25 Universal (an Air Ambulance), then in the Pitcairn PCA-3 autogyro.
          The Monospar is freeware, downloadable here (look in the Vintage folder).
          The Pitcairn is payware that I've modded from a PCA-2 to a PCA-3, and is available here.
