Spitfire Sweep Take off from RAF Manston with a scramble to Angels 20 (climb to 20,000 in 9 minutes or less) without blowing up your engine, then a 90 mile dash across the sea to Holland landing at Midden-Zeeland (EHMZ). Departing to the northeast we conduct a low level high speed run over the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta and Rottedam then a quick stop at Hilversum (EHHV) with it’s shortish 2000 foot grass runway. A quick departure will minimize overheating as we continue the low level 41nm run to Noordoostpolder (EH09) with a 3000 foot grass runway. The high speed run continues on to Eelde (EHGG) and hard runway (8190 ft). After a brief stop to run maintenance checks…

Giving Roger a little break this week, but this doesn't mean an easy ride! Bring something that handles like a polo pony, I'm thinking RV7 kinda thing. If you think an NGX will work go for it!

The population of the state of Oregon are well-known for their concern for environmental matters, so this is a special, eco-friendly flight plan that I'm sure the Oregonians would approve of. Why, you ask? Because it's 100% recycled! Back in January we did this plan with skis on. Now we'll see what it looks like in summer. We'll start in the Willamette valley at Hobby Field (77OR) in Creswell. It's just a short ride to a quick stop at Jasper Ridge (36OR) to make sure we've got our short-field skills up to scratch before we head over the mountains. Next, up and over the Cascade range, stopping at McKenzie Bridge (00S) and passing the Three Sisters peaks, landing at …

Next week it will be the 'Hoilands' Highland of where, not Scotland? Yowl see, sez he. So Papua New Guinea it is. A collection of the usual OMG landings so best not choose an A2A!

Whatever a DC6 is this is the one that was at Duxford Flying Legends (Does it qualify?) I'll say one thing for it, it was VERY clean!

Rivers, Cities and - of course - castles! This is the same flight we did in October 2017, but with much nicer weather and summer textures. The flight plan has not been changed, the Pilots Guide has been updated, mainly to correct some misspellings... We start at the small airport of Betzdorf-Kirchen (EDKI) and visit many cities, castles, and monuments until we land at Speyer (EDRY). Landings en route include Bonn-Hangelar (EDKB), Merzbruck (EDKA), Dahlemer Binz (EDKV), Winningen (EDRK), Buchel AB (ETSB), Mainz-Finthen (EDRZ), Worms (EDFV), and Mannheim (EDFM).

Majestic Wilderness We visit the western section of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska. This flight is over a wilderness populated by black bears and grizzlies, moose, caribou, and mountain goats with rivers rich in salmon and trout. We depart from Valdez [PADV] to follow the southernmost sections of the famous Richardson Highway and the parallel Trans Alaska Pipeline.

Then along the Chitina River to land on the small airstrips at Long Lake [4AK3] and t…

To use a golfing term..Straight down the middle! I haven't looked at it but the terrain looks interesting on Little Nav Map.

In case you haven't seen the email yet, Orbx is having a 4th July 24 hour flash sale on US airports and regions - nice timing ahead of our flight around S Alaska this weekend, if (like me) you don't have it yet!

Now that we have the A2A Spitfire back in our P3d v4 hangars, this sortie marks its return to our Saturday flights. Where else to do this but the south-east of England and northern France. Start at Duxford (EGSU), head south towards London and Biggin Hill (EGKB). From here the flight will mostly follow the coastlines rather than flying the magenta line. Fly north-east to the River Thames, then follow the coast east to the next stop at Manston (EGMH, or the waypoint in the GTN flight plan as the airport was recently demolished), then round past Dover and the white chalk cliffs (screenshot artists get your cameras ready) to Lydd (EGMD). Now we head over th…

Rogier’s Riviera Vacances Nos vacances commencent à Marseille (LFML). Grit et grandeur cohabitent parfaitement à Marseille, une ville portuaire exubérante et multiculturelle avec un pedigree qui remonte à la Grèce classique et une prétention juste au manteau de la deuxième ville de France. Notre étape initiale évite la côte méditerranéenne, traversant l'intérieur des terres au-dessus de la Provence vallonnée avant d'atterrir à Nice (LFMN). La route continue le long de la côte de la Riviera après Cap-Ferrat et en Italie, en passant par Sanremo avant d'atterrir à Albenga (LIMG). Continuiamo a seguire la costa con il Mar Ligure a destra e le montagne a sinis…

On this flight we get to see a large part of the small kingdom of Bhutan, a country where the king introduced "gross national happiness", thus making Bhutan the happiest country in the world! Bhutan has four airfields, which we will all visit. We start our flight at Lukla, Nepal. For more information please refer to Mike's very detailed and informative guide to our Himalaya flight a couple of weeks ago. A first stopover leads us to Tumlingatar (VNTR). The small airfield is located in eastern Nepal. In this area, we find the deepest valley and the highest mesa of Nepal. The airport has an unpaved runway of approx. 4000 feet in length. It's at an altitude of…

Rogers Ramble in the Western Chugach Roger’s plan takes us from Seward (PAWD) to Valdez (PAVD) by way of the Western Chugach, approx. 210nm and features eight landings & one touch 7 go. Flight Plans The Flight Plan is available via DropBox here. Aircraft You will probably want a bush plane such as the DHC-2 Beaver or Cessna 185. Please fly what you like. Scenery For best results, you want the payware Orbx Southern Alaska "full-fat" region. Less rich, but probably fine, would be a combination of the payware Orbx North America Landclass and Orbx Global Vector to get the lakes and coastlines correct. In addition, I would recommend …

The updated version of the Duenna has been released. I have also updated the installer to upgrade the Version 2 if you have it installed. It also will not default to program files folder due to file permissions. This is a completely new version written from the ground up. I do welcome comments / suggestions / bug reports, you can do that here : https://www.fsrtwrace.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=28 You can find the new version at https://fsduenna.software

Chile to be precise. I won't be there on Wednesday 30th May as I'll be in the lap of luxury on the high seas. If I may be so bold as to suggest you avail yourselves of the fine services provided by Digital Theme Park. Once again thanks to Roger for the flight plan available HERE. He assures me he's more than happy to keep doing them. We'll see how long THAT lasts! FTX South American Land class is recommended. Time: 18:30 UHT Enjoy the flight and be nice to each other.
