Okay, so I wasn't very original on the name, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a tour around France?

We'd be flying legs of 150 - 250 NM, one or two times a week (weekends).

I figured it'd be a bit like the Caribbean tours, and we'd be flying small props, at around 100 - 180 knots (may depend for each leg).

Anyone interested?

We've already Toured the whole of Europe, including France....

..in fact we've already covered most of the World over the Sim V years......!

...and the individual Hops are always around 80 - 120 NM average, each Hop lasting no more that one hour at the most, otherwise some of the Pilots get bored out of their brains and start messing about, much to the annoyance of all the others......!

Foz, to go into space you have to have FSX, given into the pressure already? ;o.

I think the actual location is actually less important than the nature of the tour.  Flying around France is much like flying around many other European countries.  Unless there are some dramatic landscape features, why and how are more important than where - spending 30+ minutes on AP over flat terrain holds little appeal to me, no matter where in the world it is.

I'd rather follow a course, for instance: take off from a given runway, fly around (and below) a particular pylon on a mountain top, do a touch and go on a small grass airstrip at the foot of the mountain, then land at a given destination.

Just for fun, do it with real time weather or make it so everyone has to fly biplanes that week, or carry at least 12 passengers, or fly a plane from a particular decade, or designed by a French company, or something like that.

Just IMHO, of course, but that's what I'd look for in a tour.
