London-Melbourne Air race package released !

FS Veteran
Jaap van Hees, the author of our VFR Guide series for FS2004, has released a wonderful freeware package, depicting the London-Melbourne Air race of 1934, where the Dutch Uiver (A DC-2) won the handicap section.

“…. With this package you can fly the MacRobertson Air Race, also known as the London-Melbourne Race, held in October 1934 exactly the same way the winner of the handicap section, KLM’s DC-2 PH-AJU “Uiver”, did.
This package contains everything you need: Flightplans, weather conditions, flight situation files (*.FLT) for every leg, detailed 1934 scenery and maps of all of the aerodromes where a stopover was made, 1934 enroute scenery, per leg flight descriptions also containing information and facts about the London-Melbourne race itself and the other competitors and much more.

In both Dutch and English. See the Readme.txt and the installation instructions. This package will keep you busy for a while. Enjoy….”.

We of course encourage you to get the donationware DC-2 by Rob Cappers to make this race really realistic. All proceeds go to the Dutch Aviation Museum the Aviodrome, flying one of two remaning DC-2′s. You can purchase the DC-2 here.


Available as a free download from our webshop here. And if you don’t like to register with us, you can also get it from Avsim.
 
Francois,

The package at Avsim says it is for FSX only, which is why I passed it by. Is the one at the webshop different, a package for FS2004 (or FSGW, in my case)?
 
Unfortunately .. seem's it is a FSX product only :(
If I'm right .. better to move the topic in FSX section .......
 
I'm confused now, but that's easily done, I suppose. The link provided is to an FS9 product. Is this a mistake by simMarket, and it's really an FSX product?

simMarket !??????????

And yes, it is an FSX product.


Ah, I think I understand... you didn't read past the first few words probably *grinning*. I was just referring to Jaap's earlier work of a few years ago. THAT still is available at simMarket and indeed, FS9.

Yep, jumped on the first link in the post and stopped. :)

Downloaded the scenery. Looks very nice. I'll be sure to install it as soon as I get my FS computer out of storage!
 
BTW, Francios, thanks for hosting it at your site, and it's all over SimFlight as well.
Good stuff!:ernae:
