RTWR 2018 Practice Round 1

I have a question, if I may: How do y'all select the route/next airport for flying to? The best I could do from CYUT is a 515 mi leg. Is THAT acceptable? Landable airports in this part of the world seem a bit scarce. Let's face it, a fighter from WWII isn't really very good at making real good landings at a 3000' long gravel runway with no lights in lousy visibility. I want to do a leg, but I'm a lot more betterer at having the flight prepped and ready to go, IE being told where to go :D Apparently I'm not so hot at the planning portion of this whole affair.

I'll keep trying to find someplace to stick a plane...

Well, when I set up the practice round, I had envisioned flying West to East. Didn't think about going the other way.

No worries, just do the best you can with the distances. Happier seeing green Duennas and not as concerned about routing at this point.

Not sure how the Aleutian chain into Asia will play out with 500nm as a constraint...:pop4:
 
I arrived at CYCB. I arrived a little too hard, though. First crash I ever had.
0 Viz approach, heck, 0 viz on the ground. Definately below minimums. I couldn't even see 1/2 of the 5000' runway when I touched. Bad scene all the way around.

I sincerely apologize to all. I just couldn't save a bad approach. Not even a go around would have helped.

Again, I apologize. The baton is back at CYUT. Someone will have to try this one. If not, I'll see if I can do it tonight.
Pat☺

EDIT:
PS: I will try a East to west plan, and see if I can do a little better. It goes with the trend of the winds aloft anyway. A little shorter over-all too. Maybe better weather :banghead:
Thanks for the info!

I have downloaded the new Duenna but have a small problem. I have all the greens but when I go to the settings I check the online tracking box then try to test the connection but get the following messages. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Pat! I'm Pat as well. Copy-cat :D

Well, If I was you, which I'm not, first off, in your second picture, your user-name is missing. Make sure you use the correct user-name and Password to log in first, before anything else.
After that, if you still get the same message, you might try selecting a different Event choice. Pick an event from the listing they provide. I think, rarely, if you loose the "1" at the end, it may work, but I may be wrong. Check the list, like I say.

Hope this helps a little...
Pat☺
 
Okay.

I have the baton at CYUT.
Sea Hornet F.21, ASN.
My thought is to take a relatively short flight to CYBK Baker Lake with the idea of then going to CYZF Yellowknife which then opens up access to less primitive airstrips on the route West given the 500 mile range suggestion.


Current conditions at Baker Lake are horrible, so probably be back at CYUT looking for a new plane shortly. Still this is great needed practice for me and since I am wide awake in the middle of the night for some reason, might as well log some time.

As soon as I install MFS and addons on my new computer I should be able to join you, guys (probably will take a day or two)
 
One more time...
I have the baton at CYUT, enroute CYBK.
Sea Hornet F.21, default weather.
 
Just for reference CP you need to state the modeller/developer of your aircraft choice in your first post for each leg as both Alphasim (AS) and Rob Richardson (RR) made a Sea Hornet NF21 but they fall into different categories.

The Alphasim one is classed as a 'thoroughbred' due to it's 'hot' FDE and is restricted in the number of legs that can be flown in it.

The Rob Richardson one is not restricted, if you are using the FDE developed by myself and 'DangerousDave26', and can be used repeatedly with no penalty.
 
Welcome to The Great White North...
The snow is white, the buildings (where there are any) are white, your breath is white, the sky is white, the bears are white, the grease, debris and bloodstains are not...

I'd keep alert for notices in case Moses comes up with an addendum to facilitate the Alaska Staging Route, or maybe get a carrier stationed in the Bering or Sea of Okhotsk - or a SAR destroyer :adoration:

RE: P3Dv4 - none of the White List aircraft have been tested in this sim (as it's "new" since last year) and any performance changes are therefore not known. On the other hand, at this point it seems unlikely that the V4 engine will significantly 'hack' things so, for practice, let's assume that if it was OK for FSX/P3Dv3, use in V4 will be OK. Whether the model works and is flyable in V4 is for the user to determine and with a month to go I don't foresee the cavalry arriving to do any significant testing. Bear in mind that there may still be issues with compatibility of weather depiction in P3D vs the older sims. Keep Calm and Flog On!
 
THere is always one Gremlin who knows how to push the practice into unforgiving territory. :biggrin-new:
