Another floatplane MP?

I was just wandering if anybody fancied another floatplane MP sometime?

Although I was thinking of having a higher percentage of water landings this time & not using the GPS, just NDB's & a map to give the tour a more bush flying feel to it.

The only problem with default FS9 is that the water runways look, well, crap - so I was thinking of using the Alaska Trophy Tours Camps (AVAILABLE HERE), this involves having to download some extra scenery/texture files in order to use it.

So this thread is really just to put the feelers out & see if anybody wants to download & install the camps so that we can fly into some proper camps instead of the barren FS9 offerings.

The first tour I have in mind would be this, just an ICAO code to get you started & then just NDB's from there on, you'd print off this map & that will be all the navigation aid you will get:

Anybody up for it? Let me know what you think :)

Cheers,

I'd love to take part TSC. Sounds much more like my kind of tour, kinda going where we want, more like real flying. Count me in(dates notwithstanding)

LOL Jimbo - I'll send 'scary' around ;D ;D

I'm pretty sure I'll be there for Tuesdays's repeat, hopefully some of the others from Sunday will be there aswell, it was a good trip.

Cheers,

Following Tips from Andrew (Esselbach) a few years ago, I took a trip to Avsim's "Bush Fliers Unlimited", and downloaded and installed the following:
Alaska SH1
Alaska SH2
BFU Camps
Eagle Field
Fox Camp
Fox Outpost 2,3
Moudi Farm
Sandy Cove
Shore Point

Lots of interesting Alaska Bush Flying Scenery add-ons available at Avsim...;)...!

Search: Naji's Bush Scenery.

(Note that many of the above require additional scenery objects to be in place).

Paul...Buried in a "Bush"...;)........I wish!.... ::)....!
