  • Around the World lap 4 --- Episode 29: Engineer Elite --- 3302 Planet Earth



    Hi pilots! Looks like its time for another adventure back in Time!

    Tonight's mission:

    In the year 3302, a young, 65 year old engineer by the name of Cornelius Tesladyne, has decided to set up an advanced engineering research facility in the Chittagong region of Bangladesh. Once completed, (with the help of our cargo delivering fleet of time travelers) the facility will offer the latest in experimental starship systems upgrades.


    This flight will take place in SimLink. See here for details:

    We will be using Discord for voice comms on this event. It can be found here:
    https://discordapp.com/



    Thursdays flightplan is as follows:

    Coco Island, Myanmar Departure (VYCI)
    Pathein, Myanmar (VYPN)
    Kyaukpyu, Myanmar (VYKP)
    Engineering facility-Chittagong, Bangladesh (VGEG)


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

    Required Scenery files: Click the link below to grab the required scenery file. Simply drop it into "addon scenery/ scenery" and overwrite the old "Lap4_back_in_time" .bgl file if you have an older version.




    AIRCRAFT
    The preferred aircraft is the C-130 Hercules. Alternatives include the C-97 Stratofreighter, the Antonov An-12 and An-32, the C-133 Cargomaster, the Howard 500 and the Boxcar - or any cargo prop that can do 260 kts at 18,000 ft.
    No Jets.

    Recommended SimLink type codes when you connect using vPilot:
    If you're flying Enter the Type Code
    C-130 C130
    An-12 AN12
    C-97 C97
    An-32 AN32
    C-133 C133
    C-119 (Boxcar) C119
    L-188 (Electra) DC4
    Howard 500 DC3
    Ensure you have the latest model matching files installed.



    -------------------------------------------
    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 + v1.2 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.

    Voice comms on Teamspeak (if we still have it) or Discord?

      I think this would be a good flight to test Discord for voice communications. Anyone needing to grab Discord can get it from here and give it a try:
      https://discordapp.com/
      This still gives people a few days to get used to it before the event.
      Happy landings,

          A reminder for tonight's cargo flight to the future:

          We will gather our fleet of cargo props at Coco Island, Myanmar (VYCI), for a 9 pm ET departure to the year 3302!

          Hope to see everyone there!
