  • GREAT 48! Grand tour of US states. Week #07: New York - Connies!


    This week we'll all fly Lockheed Constellations through the Empire State.



    Week 07: New York
    KPOU>KITH>KROC>KERI


    FLIGHT PLAN
    • All legs use VORs.
    • Legs 1 and 3 use intermediate VORs.
    • To-VOR tracking advised when possible/in range; From-VOR tracking permissible.
    • We'll break off course on approaches, direction according to surface wind.
    • ILS available at all airports.
    • Please check the flight plan for full details.
    Download the PLN flight plan file here.
    Flight plan in tabular form, flight maps and airport diagrams here.

    CRUISE
    Speed: 200 - 220 knots indicated
    Altitude: 8,000 - 10,000 feet

    AIRCRAFT
    Lockheed Constellations only, freeware, payware, or back-ported from P3D to FSX. This includes:
    • C-69 series
    • C-121 series (* see note below)
    • EC-121
    • L-049 series
    • L-649 series
    • L-749 series (* see note below)
    • L-1049 series
    * Available as freeware on Storm's OneDrive, Vintage Hangar. Warning: This particular download is supplied AS IS with no warranty, or support, or even any help with installation!

    If you are unfamiliar with the aircraft, I recommend attending Coast's training flight.

    RESTRICTIONS
    No aircraft not from the Constellation family.


    SCENERY
    Default OK though there is a terrain/airport aberration at 15NK, northwest of Ithaca/KITH.
    (Another Microsoft data entry error: the real 15NK airfield is 2° longitude further west.)
    Highly recommended: FSgenesis US landclass (inexpensive payware).

    RECOMMENDED SCENERY ADDITIONS FOR FTX GLOBAL USERS
    You can download the whole series of freeware FTX global airport packs here.
    NA packs relevant for this flight:
    • NA pack 14 (first stop Ithaca/KITH)

    RECOMMENDED SCENERY RESTRICTIONS FOR FTX VECTOR USERS
    Disable Vector (or similar workaround). It puts a power pylon next to a KROC runway!
