Spookster's Western Roundup - SIAI Marchetti

KBFI-KORS

Leg 1.

A bit of rain on the way, but a nice tailwind as well at 4,000'.

I've got a completely fresh install of FSX on a new PC, and so far very few add-ons re-installed. There are lots of trees close to the field at KORS, and without the "lumberjack" add-on installed, they're quite close to the runway. That made for an interesting high approach and full use of the runway.

Should have great winds today after ur KHQM leg.

Lumberjack the racers 'must have' eh? FSX redefined the meaning of 'clearzones'. Does make some for some interesting approaches w/o it.

Leg 5.

I'm hoping for a nice tailwind on this leg, so I'll be going up higher, and looking for better fuel efficiency too. We'll see...

Edit: Yes, that worked out nicely. The 4 knot tailwind at 4000 was blowing at 13 knots up at 7000 and as much as 19 knots just under the soft ceiling of 10,000. Saved a bit of fuel there, I reckon.

So having turned up late for this event, I decided (after having flown a few legs) that I'd better actually read the rules properly, to make sure I'm doing things right! Turns out I'm not - I should be posting departure and arrival of each leg. Oops!! I can fix that from now on.

Another reason to read the rules properly was because I just set off on leg 7, but then immediately got distracted and delayed dealing with the real life stuff, resulting in a "controlled flight into terrain". Turns out 6,100' on the autopilot altitude setting wasn't high enough for the mountains just outside Kalispell. Oops again!!

So in summary, this post is both a "departed on leg 7" and a "bailing-out due to interruption" post. I've used up my free bail-out.

It's too late tonight to start the flight again, so I'll leave it till tomorrow or Thursday.
 
A note from Ms. Murphy in regard to the Spookster67 usage of the bail-out provision in leg 7 (post #10 above).

"The bail-out is accepted. However, please note the 'Clarification of the Bail Out Rule' in the NOTAMS for future usage."
