  • Around the World lap 4 --- Episode 37: Disaster Relief! --- 1819 India



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

    Tonight's mission:

    In the year 1819, the city of Bhuj India was ravaged by a massive earthquake! On Thursday, HQ needs us to deliver disaster relief supplies to the unfortunate people of western India.


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



    Thursdays flightplan is as follows:

    Nasik Road, India Departure (VANR)
    Diu, India (VA1P)
    Bhuj, India (VABJ)
    Jinnah Intl., Pakistan (OPKC)


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

    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 270 kts at 16,000 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 + 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.

    A small mod is just now available for the C-133. This is v1.3 and is cumulative, i.e. it includes the mods in v1.1 and v1.2, but it does require the v1 base pack. The new v1.3 part of the mod adds dirty VC panels = shadowing around the gauges. It looks like this:



    Nevertheless, I still expect I'll be the only one to fly it!

    Opening post modified to reflect new C-133 version.
