Oh no he's on the wine and paint fumes again!

Other than Sat any other times people are on digital themepark and can I just log in to join in on the banter even if I cannot fly. Might be nice to listen to Ron go on his rants whilst working to help restore my faith in humanity and retirement plans :mrgreen: :twisted:

It's been awhile since I've had time to fly. So, for part three of my tour, I took off from Redding, and flew north to Creswell. In the Jug, with real world weather provided by OpusFSX. Enjoy...

Great shots. The P-47 is my favourite US fighter. :D


Cheers,

Part 4 - Hobby/Creswell (77S) to Swanson (2W3) - As an added "bonus," the weather was absolutely horrible. :wink:

Part 5 - Swanson (2W3) to Squamish (CYSE) - The weather wasn't the best, but better than the last leg. As you'll see, I had to commandeer a new Jug as I pranged the prop upon landing at Swanson last time. This was a pretty straightforward flight until I got vectored for the approach at Squamish...in the mountains, covered in clouds, with some real gusty winds! I put her down in one piece, but I'm sure the mechanic is waiting to scream at me about the struts that I fully compressed.

Part 6 - Squamish (CYSE) to High River Regional (CEN4) - I looked at the weather for this route earlier today, and it was favorable, so I gave it a go. It was a long flight, at 361.2 nautical miles, and even in the Jug, it took almost two hours. OpusFSX really shined on this trip, and I got some screenshots that I really liked. It was actually tough trying to whittle it down to just ten. BTW, if this was a combat sim, I would've shot down the two Cessna's that jumped me in line as I was on the downwind leg. :wink:

Looks like you're still having a blast, how you finding the colder temps with her?

She does just fine in the colder temps. I'll always bring a mechanic along to pour warm oil in my engine before I start her up though. :wink: I have also noticed that I do have to pay more attention to the intercooler and oil cooler flaps.

Part 7 - High River Regional (CEN4) to Felts Field (KSFF) - The weather was a little rough once I left CEN4, but it got better until I was about 30 miles out of Felts. My video driver crashed, which caused FSX to go TU also. So the last few shots are of a re-launch, from a nearby airfield; and the weather was not exactly the same, unfortunately.

Additionally, I'm enjoying the little extra bits from the latest Accu-Sim update. Thanks!

You can make out Bonners Ferry (65S) on the plateau down at the bottom of the shot.

Very nice and very different to my own adventures so far, I'm as I type this in AP GPS mode flying out from Tonga on a flight plan to end up eventually in Hawaii. No snow on these legs, but I must admit your Scenery is making for some great images 8)

cheers,
