 Kodiak only has a range of 1000nm ... not sure where you would fly out of  

Are you saying it's not possible to do a ferry flight to Australia from, say, London?

Never being in Australia, but I started flying there in FSX times when ORBX came out with their first FTX AU titles. Meanwhile, I know many areas from Melbourne to Sydney to Brisbane quite well - Pretty nice area to fly. I'm not so familiar with the other regions of the country, but I will fore sure explore some more with MSFS now.

Anyone else disappointed with a lot of the green area's? First of all a lot of area's have that awful green 'shade' that can also be found elsewhere in MSFS. Even the roads have a green hue. And secondly the greens often are cold and blue-ish and because of this it's impossible to experience a sunny day. Even with the clouds off and a perfectly blue sky things look clouded due to this. The Gold Coast is supposed to look golden, warm, lush, but it looks cold... Not sunny at all. I found an area in the south that does have the warmer greens (as can also be found in parts of Norway for instance) but it's mostly cold blue-ish green all over the place. I have the same problem is the US where the textures often look old and cold. It's as if you are flying over a picture that's been taking in the seventies and that's been lying in the sun too much: all the yellows are gone. Disappointing. Luckily still has enough interesting parts to fly over (where things aren't green at ALL 😉 ) but I do wonder why Asobo doesn't do some color correction on large parts of the world. It's really needed badly.

Ok the classic favorites, Hervey Bay, Aeropelican and Hamilton Is. have not been enhanced 😏 but Katoomba is here, a b*tch of a strip to land even with a STOL aircraft and, bonus !, the Three Sisters are nearby.

WOW, peoples reading comprehension .... My question was where would the flight be originating?

Give me a route with the Kodiak 100 from, say, Munich, Germany, to Sydney.

But I'm open to new experiences.

(Lol, I can see ORBX is already on it)

neofly

To clear up the question,

A Kodiak ferry flight started anywhere in Europe with 1000 mile range should have no problems reaching Australia as there is nowhere where the overwater sector would be over 1000 miles. There would be lots of stops though. 

 

why not recreate the flight of the uiver, dc2, from mildenhall to melbourne.

its fun to do historical flights.

Here is your routing from London Gatwick to Darwin (this was your last request Munich will be even shorter...), the rest is up to you, use SkyVector for your detailed flight planning:

• EGKK - LIRN (861NM) Naples
• LIRN - HEBA (957 NM) Alexandria
• HEBA - OERK (970 NM) Riyadh
• OERK - OOMS (640 NM) Muscat
• OOMS - VABB (860 NM) Mumbai
• VABB - VCBI (821 NM) Colombo
• VCBI - WITT (968 NM) (I hope you have good equipment for long maritime overfly!) Sultan Iskandar Muda
• WITT - WIII (968 NM) Jakarta
• WIII - WATU (839 NM) Umbu Mehang Kunda
• WATU - YPDN (649 NM) Darwin

I haven't flown the DC6 since I got the Kodiak. Fired it up today and am going to start flying around Australia with it. Should be fun. 

Fly there for shrimp on the barbi… they are really large shrimp I am told.

Time-wise, I can't do more than 500 mile legs. So I would have to fly Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, cross India into Bangladesh and Myanmar, head down to Malaysia, Singapore, hitting Jakarta and Surabaya on the way, hopping along the Lesser Sunda Islands, finally crossing over to Darwin...
