Happy planning ;)

holy sheesh David I don't understand half of what you sent me. :shock:

I know about good scenery, I'm a real FSX addon junkie, but I'm horrible at flight planning... I'd just chuck her full of gas and "aim for that NDB yonder".


Damn I thought I had caught a potential new planner! You barely escaped on that one! :D
More seriously OK I'll do the planning. However this is definitely not that difficult so I'd gladly help if you ever want to have a good look at the charts.

Happy flying,
David

Mother Nature uses a powerful GPU indeed. I also heard that everything is totally simulated to the tiniest particle and in real time! Impressive!
The screenshots from the team last Saturday were very nice already, and required way less computing power :)

Happy flying,
David

Very nice pictures ! I appreciate.

Here is a debrief of our new take off procedure.

Procedure described in David's flight plan :
Image

Using FS Recorder (http://www.fs-recorder.net/) and Plan-G, I took some screen shots to see how the procedure was performed.

1/ All B-17 at runway heading (180°), following fligth leader.
Image
A/C should have been equally spaced (10 sec between each plane).

2/ Starting the 180° turn. (90° on the picture).
Image

3/ Join-up
Image

I think it was quite good for a first trial. Mastering this kind of "accusimed" procedure requires some training and good coordination between squadron members. It's also a good challenge like dead reckoning is for navigation.

That's the way to do it :wink: (for pg.31 of A2A B-17 manual)
Image

Kind regards, Romain.

Hello Romain,

Thanks for the flight analysis. I was a bit worried but you're right we did quite after all :)
Should be quite good with some practice. I'll increase the separation time for the take-off to 30s.

Best regards,
David

Roger that Wing Commander.

Perhaps we could mix with Ron's proposition with simultaneaous deparature by group of 2 or 3 like fighters.
This could reduce the distance between first plane and last one. But I decline any responsability in case of rejected take off.

Some more pictures:

Bob has sent me some pictures of our T.O. from Forest.
Image

Bombardier's view
Image

Tail Gunner's view. Get ready to serve a coffee to Lukas :lol:

One time, he'll be too low

Have a good week, Romain
