WOW...!

..looks like an exciting trip... :o...!
...VERY HILLY... ;D....LOL...!

Noting Jim's speed recommendations, (100-110 knots...remember...SLOW!) and the fact that the hop distance is quite short, a little high wing piston prop may be in order....
...so my trusty default Beech Baron 58D will be left in the hangar this time...!

What else is there in the Default General Aviation Aircraft Department I ask myself......?

The default Cessna 172...?
The default Piper Cub...?

I've got lots of lovely downloaded small piston prop aircraft suitable for the job...(Bellanca, Aviat, etc...)...!
..BUT...
They will not be visible to the other pilots in the group!...!!!
So Captain Sensible wont be using them in a Multiplayer Session...;)...!
Last minute decisions on default aircraft...8)...!

Just rustling up an FS Navigator flight plan at the moment...

..and wiping the dust off my RADAR screen... ;D...!

Cheers all...!

Paul...G-BPLF... 8)...!

Date: September 23rd.
Time: 1300 Hours.
Weather: Default Fine Weather.
Refreshments: Flask of hot tea.
Sustenance: Cheese and pickle sandwiches.

Spare can of AVGAS.

...tell you what....

I just tried out the trip this afternoon...

The Cessna 172 ran out of steam trying to clear the mountains from take off...
...as did the Cessna 182S...
Finished up with the Cessna 182 RG which managed the steep climb-out O.K..... 8)...!

KGWS at 6,000 feet ASL requires a climb-out to 10,000 feet ASL...
...very quickly!... :o...!
LOL...!

I think, with the Piper Cub, you would need to constantly circle to gain sufficient height to clear some of the mountains after leaving the airfield...!

Otherwise, I would have liked to have tried the Cub...;)...!

Excellent trip lads... ;D...!

I made it to the end just before my dial-up time ran out...!!!

I forgot I had my realism settings at MAX...which was why I kept resetting every time one of you blokes crashed into me... :o...!

Funny thing is tho'...all my landings were perfect...no reset...;)...!

How's that for skill.... ;D...!
