First Long Haul flight

[westside]

Hey Stewy

Whitehorse and Yellowknife are 737 friendly. In BC you might want to look at Comox, Sandspit, Port Hardy, Abbotsford and Kelowna. In Alberta Red Deer and Fort Murray come to mind
There are alot more and I will send you some more when I think of them

Peace

Thanks mate for that - I'll check those out!

First flight in Canuckistan -Calgary to Vancouver in a 737 at dusk.

Quite cloudy conditions, a little turbulence over the Rockies but even the default scenery is stunning.

Had to do a go-around at Vancouver because an Atlas Cargo 747F was coming in too - I thought I'd give him some space!

Say Westside, could you tell me please what are the major GA airports for each provincial capital?

Been reading above accounts of long flights and wonder if the interesting weather mentioned is the result of the FSX (or FS9) real weather function or some enhancement like REX?  I've been flying short trips in props for the past year on real weather and haven't yet run into an unexpected snowstorm (I fly mainly Europe and U.S. West Coast  in all seasons). Perhaps this is just coincidence?

Hey DenisH

I am running FSX and I am in control of the weather at all times. Due to the taxing nature of FSX I have chosen to stay off the internet with my flight computer

Thanks Mark for that - but I was wondering what is (if any) the GA (General Aviation) airport for each of those towns? (not the major airport)   The place where the Cessnas and Barons fly - as opposed to the 737s and A320s

STEW:  Thanks for the info, especially about staying off the internet to maximize FSX. I've always  logged on.
