Would it be better if we used one common aircraft? I have no idea which one you want to use.

choose an aircraft that has similar speed to the one i have chosen.


Which is?

Ben...!

Always use one of the default aircraft so that all the planes appear as their correct type...?

The mileage is quite long so a fairly speedy aircraft is warranted...
I personally use the default Beech Baron 58D...180-200 knots cruise... 8)...!

(Or the Cessna 182S?....Mooney?..etc...).

I plan the route with the help of FS Navigator and the radios running on auto-pilot between VOR's and NDB's... ;D...!

Cheers...!

Paul.... 8)...!

...don't forget....DEFAULT aircraft...;)...!

Ok! I'll take a Baron with you. :D 8) It will be like going back in history! I haven't flown much at all in the Baron since I flew it in FUII a few moons back. ;D Or maybe I should say a few half moon bays back!  ;)  I think I logged more than 130 hours in that aircraft alone.
Those FUII ATC transmissions really stick with me on that sim, where I first learnt the basics. 8)
"Baron, this is air approach! On guard! Please pick up my frequency on 134.5!"
Ahh then were the days I didn't know how the radio worked. :P ;D

WOWZERS...!

Another FU II enthusiast... ;D... ;D... ;D...!
..together with Pro Pilot 2...!

Both programs with excellent ATC...!!!

Both of them are still on my hard drive ready to play... ;D...!

Now you know why I spend so much of my time touring in 'Frisco Bay and the surrounding area...!!!
(Santa Rosa to Los Angeles).

Cheers...!

Paul...Socal Approach... 8)...!

- Sorry about that.

I used to suggest an Aircraft for all of us to use, but the past couple of weeks its been your own choice what you fly.

Cheers.

I made such an embarrasing landing on the final airport. Firstly I had to dodge some crazy pilons.. ::) who the idiot placed those there? ??? Then the sync thing went and was so madly out of order that I could barely stay straight. I couldn't remember the key code to stop it (yeah had the sync switch thing on already).
