I just tried and failed this mission for reasons I will not divulge so as to not blow the surprise(s). But I highly recomend it for a nice IFR flight.Anybody nail it on their first attempt?Best Regards, Donny :-waveFLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.

I would have if I remembered to lower the gear in all the excitement

OUCH!!!! I didn't quite get that close...Best Regards, Donny :-waveFLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.

Would have nailed it if it wasn't for my computers frame rates crashing me... its probably the hardest mission on there... a little unrealistic if you ask me... All i recommend is don't start chasing needles or your hooped!

I have to agree that this is the most difficult and frightening mission I've flown so far.But I was lucky and succeed on the first shot. Lucky also, because I forgot to save midflight, was too much immersed.Didn't expect that sort of flight because it was the 3rd or 4th mission I flew and didn't notice the difficulty level at briefing.:-roll Of course I will not enter in details, all I can tell you is you'll not be safe until you set the parking brake at the airport! ;) Yesterday I flew the Archeological's supply mission with the Goose in the north peruvien area, and Holly Cow !!! :-eek

The second try was the charm, and I ran into two more surprises I hadn't gotten to before. A hair raising experience, kudos to the guy who dreamed this one up!!!Best Regards, Donny :-waveFLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.

I did manage to nail it on my first try. Like one of the other posters, I forgot to save, and was lucky to get through, as it would have been a tough one to redo!http://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...s/Goodale01.jpg

I got it on my first try.:)

The "Limited Options" one is tough for me. If I turn back, I was short about 3 miles and had to ditch in the water, and when I kept going, I came in too high and ditched again! These missions are very exciting and sometimes very hard. I loved it when the FO was going through the before landing checklist and I'm thinking to myself, "we're about 50 feet from hitting the water, don't think I need a checklist at the moment!" As for the Yakutat Mail run, very tough, I'm gonna give it a go again pretty soon. Any body else think these planes in FSX are a bit too responsive?
