October 14, 20196 yr The Rolling Hills of Tennessee DocumentationThe flightplan can be found here. Note - the flight plan is in FSX. It may be (unkown) a good idea to run it through LittleNavMap and save as a P3D version for those who need it. No .gfp plan is supplied. AircraftThe route is 387nm. Any aircraft capable of about 160+kts cruise will do nicely. This leaves ~30 minutes throughout the flight for the normal "faffing about". There are 3 airstrips that require semi-STOL performance, the shortest runway is 1700 feet on grass, so choose wisely. As always, fly whatever you like. SceneryMore than normal, you want to augment your default setup to make the trip worthwhile. Of course, you want the payware Orbx Global textures. If you have it, you want Orbx Global Vector to get the rivers and roads mostly right. For mesh you want FreeMeshX or a payware equivalent to enhance the rolling hills of this area. This time, in addition, you will want some airport sceneries . Required Scenery: The idea for this flight came up because of the recent releases from Ed Wells (falcon409) over at Sim Outhouse. He has done a wonderful job giving life to the area by updating the small airfields in rural Tennessee. ( 1 in North Carolina - our destination) All these airfields were tested in both FSX & P3Dv4 by Ed and other users. Hassell Field_M29.zipJames Tucker/Perry Co.

You may use either or both (for ease). The elevations are the same. FTXG adds static aircraft & people flow. Believe it or not, it looks very good with both active. 2 automible accidents :) with people discussing insurance carriers, a shed attached to a mobile home - rather factual, dual windsocks & fuel tanks are the only drawbacks. Flight Plan & Notes: You may get a "folding paper" version of the flight plan from SkyVector. The following image shows my setup in FSX - FreeMesh On, FTX Global On, Vector On & AEC settings. Your needed setup may vary. Time and WeatherWe should fly real weather if possible. Time of departure, simulator time, should be at (?? P3D) 16:00 15:00 local. (At 24A, sunset and moonrise occurs at 19:00 local 12OCT19, suggested start at M29 is 16:00 15:00 local - FSX time)ParticularsDate and time: Ocotber 19, 2019, 1800 UTC Where: AVSIM RTWR Teamspeak - Casual Flights Channel Teamspeak Server Address: ts.teamavsim.com Cross-Platform Multiplayer: JoinFS.

October 16, 20196 yr Author NOTAM - An esteemed colleague (Thanks Mike) has just informed me that Tennessee has 2 time zones and we will cross them. Using high order calculus, trig and some algebra 😝 the suggested starting sim time has been moved back by 1 hour - 15:00 local The original post and any docs, if you have not downloaded them yet, reflect the time change. Another note, it has been known from the beginning that we may not make the full route in the alloted time, no worries. If we make it to Campbell (1A3) that would be nice.
