May 2, 201016 yr Many of us like VFR flying. We normally fly in our home country, neighbor countries and foreign countries we have visited. But we don't visit other countries frequently. That's a pity! I would like to visit and discover new countries. If you like this idea then you should participate in this project and develop and publish an attractive flight route (sightseeing VFR tour) of your home country or a country you are very familiar with it.If this proposal is accepted by some you then I will contribute and provide a sightseeing flight plan of Switzerland. I could also do multiplayer flights with you and act as a lead pilot and tour guide free of charge.Don't hesitate and provide your favorite country tour now! Best regards from RelaxX
May 2, 201016 yr RelaxX,I was think along the same lines last night as I was touring Colorado with Bluesky photoscenery....The world is TOO LARGE and has far TOO MANY INTERESTING PLACES and life is much too short to see even the best of it without some guidance.There are many usable methods - What were you visualizing?text description - with or without imagesFSX flightplansFSRecorderX recorded flightsI like the multiplayer guided flight best but connectivity could be a limitation... that made me think of a recorded flight with maybe a mp3 recorded narration for those who can't (for whatever reason) do multiplayer - There have been numerous route descriptions and flightplans posted in the past but I never seem to have enough time to check them all out - too many competing and ongoing projects already.Thanks for bringing the idea up.Loydview from Colorado ground level - for a change of pace... Hooked since FS4... now flying: FSX Acceleration on Win7/64, Core Duo E8400; GA-EP45-DS3R; GTX 460-768MB; 4G RAM; Freezer 7 Pro

If you are interested-check out a mission I did called Geofa Mt. Lassen tour. It is a scenic tour of a beautiful area of the United States along with some rw Baron flying techniques. I'd like to see more missions like this which share the beauty of flying. Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!

May 3, 201016 yr Author Hi Loyd,The community would very much appreciate if would compose a scenic tour through Tennessee and / or Colorado.The method to visualize this doesn't matter. It can even be a simple text description with or without images and additional hints. The important aspect is that the tour is interesting to fly and that good places of interest are explored.If you like we could fly the one or the other leg in the multiplayer mode. I normally use the integrated GameSpy function with voice communication through skype. I would like to do it with you if you have published your Tennessee / Colorado tour.You have a cool motorbike. It will certainly overtake this truck soon, will it?Hi Geofa,I will install and fly Geofa Mt. Lassen tour. Would this mission work in the multiplayer mode? You could guide me in Michigan and I would do the same in Switzerland.Hi PaulThanks for this interesting link. I will use this as an inspiration for new routes.What about creating an attractive route through UK? Flying in multiplayer mode? I feel that folks would love it!SwitzerlandWithin a week's time I will publish here a scenic route through Switzerland. THen I will be ready to be your guide for Switzerland Best regards from RelaxX
