Vintage military jet fighters at 350 knots through the Beehive State.
Week 45: Utah 67L>KBCE>KCNY>U42>KBYI - GPS Direct FLIGHT PLAN
Flight plan in tabular form, flight maps and airport diagrams here. CRUISE Speed: 350 knots Altitude: up to 11,500 ft AIRCRAFT Vintage* military jet fighters and fighter bombers (* where vintage = first flight at least 50 years ago, i.e. 1965 or earlier). By all means fly what you flew two weeks ago through California. There are many suitable freeware aircraft: first and second generation fighters will do nicely. Many of Robert James Richardson's wonderful freeware aircraft will work well, such as the Attacker, the Meteor**, the Vampire and the Venom (** see the event banner for four msflight pilots' Meteors in formation). I'll be flying the Gloster Meteor Mk4 (from Robert James Richardson) in red livery by Peter Watkins (see below). RESTRICTIONS No props. No civilian aircraft. No aircraft that first flew after 1965. WHICH VERSION, CLASSIC OR STEAM? This is primarily a Classic/Boxed flight. (You can follow along in Steam or P3D but your security is not guaranteed!) WEATHER The server will be set to live weather. Expect strong gusty southwest breezes. I will be flying with real world weather with Active Sky Next (client side). SCENERY Highly recommended: FSgenesis US landclass (inexpensive payware). FTX Global 1.30 and Vector 1.20 good but optional (expensive payware). Vector users please see recommendations here. RECOMMENDED SCENERY ADDITIONS FOR FTX GLOBAL USERS You can download the whole series of freeware FTX global airport packs here. All airports except KBYI (final destination) are OrbX freeware airports. :eagerness: Ensure you have the latest Orbx NA pack (2015-06-16). Needed for U42. |
