Starting in Barbados, we'll go exploring the Grenadines 

Suggested flightplan:

TBPB - TLPL - TVSB -TVSM -TVSC - TVSU - TGPZ - TGPY

This touches all the FlyTampa Grenadines airports.

I just tried linking to my existing FSX Grenadines scenery and adding the AFX_Txxx_flytampa_dummy.bgl files to my P3D Scenery \ World folder.  Looks fine 

Just like last time, scenery suggestions are welcome!

Following in our footsteps.. 2001 Grenadines Cruise vacation,  Barbados to Tobago on this lovely ship..

Good deal to be had, if you move quickly..

Just for color, here is the Pilots' Guide for our Caribbean Holiday in 2015. This is The Narrative. Part Two.

Lovely part of the world.. 

Great, thanks Mike!

Freeware scenery for this weekend's flight

Especially for those (like me) without FlyTampa Grenadines, there are a couple of freeware packages by Jean Louis Valladier that are a big improvement on the default scenery:

St Lucia - including a nice depiction of the terminal at Hewanorra (TLPL)

St Vincent, the Grenadines and Grenada - including Carriacou (TGPZ) and Grenada Maurice Bishop airport (TGPY)

The sceneries benefit from his Caribbean mesh package too (especially TSVM).

The packages have a few issues in P3D v4 (mostly default buildings in awkward places), but I have recompiled the ADE files for P3D v4 and done a little demolition work (added exclusions to remove the offending buildings).  If anyone else is using these sceneries and wants the replacement ADE files just email or message me. 

For those of us that get lost at sea HERE  is a nice magenta line to follow.

Thanks Ron!
