October 1, 20169 yr For our upcoming flight on Oct 8, I suggest the following flight plan. https://skyvector.com/api/loadplan?id=168889.aXp8EpJGBzgfufPRMiNR6aFM58kUKenI&c=301&z=2&lat=48.69833&lon=-123.45035 This is a first test to see if this plan can be loaded... If successful, you can try it out. If not, maybe someone can send me instructions.. We'll start at CAC8 which is the FSX Sea Plane Base for Nanaimo, BCand learn to taxi our aircraft by working our way south to the main passenger loading dock for Harbour Air, the biggest float plane airline in the world (I read that somewhere..) https://www.harbourair.com/ Then we'll take of towards the south, overfly CYCD Nanaimo International Airport, and head for CMAP Maple Bay Sea Plane Base. Our further route will take us to Ganges on Saltspring Island, Vancouver Harbour, Pitt Meadows Sea Plane Base, YVR South Sea Plane Base, and lastly, Victoria Harbour. These are routes flown by Harbour Air, in Twin Otters, and Beavers. I will be flying a Kodiak Floatplane for this adventure. If we have time at the end, we can continue to Orcas Island, just so we can say that this was an international flight.. :smile: Suggested scenery is FTX PNW, and FTX Nanaimo freeware. Bert

October 2, 20169 yr I notice there are a couple of land bases. Would amphibians be a good choice of airplane? As opposed to float planes, that is. :smile: The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
October 2, 20169 yr Author We are only expecting to land on water, but my airplane is actually an amphibian.. Hope not to need that capability :wink: Bert
October 2, 20169 yr Author Another possible candidate.. C206 turbine conversion. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=34&linkid=21921 Edit: then again, maybe not. Visibility out the front is bad and there is no Throttle Reverse, so no way of slowing down, or backing up the airplane.. Sticking with the Kodiak :wink: Bert
October 2, 20169 yr Beaver for me. You can't beat a nice Beaver. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

October 3, 20169 yr Visibility out the front is bad and there is no Throttle Reverse, so no way of slowing down, or backing up the airplane.. The developer has posted that the Mark 1 modelled had no reverse, so slowing down has to rely on the drag from the water. The FSX pushback (SHIFT+P) does work on the water though. Several times already I've had to pull myself off the docks I've crashed into....
October 3, 20169 yr Do you guys fly online together? Indeed we do, but in FSX only. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

October 5, 20169 yr Off topic - One of our chapter members sold his Beech 18 / C-45H to a group in Germany during Airventure '16. ( I sat under the wing during the sale ) After 2 months in Janesville getting a final look over & ferry tanks installed, she's ("Lady Lynn") on her way.. Daunting, "Hard Core" etc.. are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind. Will miss her. Today she's on her way to Greenland - http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N480P Toronto..
