Yes, you could even do better and go below see level next time.

Have look to elevation of Lake Eyre and don't worry, your altimeter well calibrated.

Hi all, here are some pictures from Ron's 7 o'clock

The map and flight plan for this flight:



Note the "Suggested refueling point for fighters" box in green. Now if you hear about a Spit landing with 1/8 of Gal left later in this thread then you'll know this was not the fault of tacops!



"Fly safe Ron" she said


Taxiing into position at Alice Springs


The parking technique is borrowed from the famous Roman legions battle formation "The Turtle"




Climbing to FL275


Little friends in the air




Formation flying above the desert








Serving coffee


Precision flying target in sight, looks like some cheated and were not at 15000 ft


Happy with this one


Climbing back to FL275 and steering towards greener Australia








Descent to Port Lincoln






Those guys know how to craft an airfield in FSX...


Heavy left foot required for this one


Here we are for a crazy group landing again






Taxiing for debrief with some nice low fly-bys


... and nice sickeningly low fly-bys






Nice line-up at Port Lincoln






And as we were leaving the session we were fortunate enough to witness a velocipedus stupidus australis more commonly named "bush runner", the Australian cousin of the famous American "road runner"!


Next session, next Saturday February 26th 2011, 20:00 UTC

Why is it when the spitfire is pictured in these screen shots that the prop never seems to be moving?

Is that a function of the player's video card? Or is it something to do with the spit itself?

Just curious.

Hi Snuffy,
this a minor bug with the Spit, A2A is aware of that. It seems to happen only when it is seen from another type of aircraft.
David

Here my pic's from the trip with my diversion to the field I had to land at.

Now tha's a box

YBAS - YPLC

Taxiing past the others





Waitin' for the slow Fortresses to taxi up





Waiting up high at cruising altitude for the Fortresses: Yep, the Spit really climbs like a home-sick angel. Would need to, seen the OAT



Ah! Here they are!



In cruise



Formation on Don's 8



Nice views





Nice formation



Flying about the '17's





David's bomber handing me a cup of coffee



After the practice bombing run, we climbed to cruise again. Once at altitude, I made a butt clenching discovery...



Using very carefull flying, I managed to land at the destination, with... well.. let's say... fumes left



After a quick refuel, started harrasing the others





Debrief



Beatifull (all be it camera filling) view



Also noticed a nice detail on Ron's B-17



Cheers!

You guys would probably be interested in the http://www.91stbombardmentgroup.com/ and online bomber/fighter group that flys the A2A B-17, P-47, P-51, Spitfire and Bf-109 on missions and in formation flights.
We have four individual groups the 91st and USAAF Bombardment Group with 4 squadrons, the 339th a USAAF Fighter Group with 3 squadrons, No. 11 Group an RAF Fighter Group with 3 squadron and III.Gruppe/JG 26 a Luftwaffe Fighter Group with three squadrons.
We also have multiple WWII scenerys for these groups as well as visual flak and gun effects and a non fuctional chain home radar system along the coast of England.

She's right m8 we have our own thing going why don't you guys & girls come and fly with us

well im not sure whos right but okay lol thats understandable though, not trying to step on anyones toes. Im fairly sure our group is a little bigger than yours with custom scenery and repaints as well as detailed historical aspects and missions and a soon to be 24 hour server.
Im sure the 91st would be willing to do a joint flight with your group if you guys were ever intersted in some co-operation.

Hi dj0311,

Here we practice a kind of "touristic formation flying" . We are taking our Forts for a 3 hours trip from city A to city B every week, the general idea being to complete a world tour at some point in the (very) distant future. On the other hand we try to do this by the book with flying procedures and detailed flight plan.
Thank you for your post, it's good that everyone visiting these forums can know about all the different multiplayer groups flying A2A models and can choose what suits them best. Of course as Ron was saying we're always welcoming new volunteers (fsx.elington@orange.fr).

Happy flying,
David
