August 8, 20223 yr Seaplanes in Norway We will visit 12 seaplane bases in Norway. We depart from Vigra (ENAL), since waiting for everybody to join is easier on a hard surface than floating about somewhere. We make our first water landing at the Bunker Oil Station (EN226), recheck that your gear is up before attempting the landing. Following the fjords and valleys, we land at Tannstad (EN225), Hellesylt (EN221), Geiranger (EN222), Breiddalsvatnet Øst (EN045), Stry Sjøflyhavn (EN133), and Utvik (EN217) before landing on a hard surface again at Sandane Anda (ENSD). Now you may want to check, that the gear is down… After relaxing a short while we continue and visit Dampen Serveringsstad (EN220), Kalvåg Sjøflyhavn (EN130), Florø Sjøflyhavn (EN129), Førde Sjøflyhavn (En128), and Balestrand Sjøflyhavn before reaching todays destination Sogndal Haukåsen (ENSG). Flightplan: Click! Aircraft: We need an amphibian plane. The route has about 270 miles and 13 landings. There are some amphibian planes available: the C-172 on floats, the Club Crafter on floats, and the ASOBO PC-6 on floats are about in the same speed range. The Twin Otter on floats is a bit faster and the Grumman Goose is even faster. The Husky on floats, the Zlin on floats, and the Junkers Ju 52 on floats are also available but a bit too slow for this flight. I will be in the Club Crafter on floats in the Berserk livery. Please fly what you like. Required scenery: The floatplane bases are all in this great freeware from frkristi: Norwegian Seaplane Bases. Some have a little dock or some other construction. But with the add-on, all bases appear in the selection menu in the sim and on Little Nav Map. Recommended freeware scenery: Sandane (ENSD) Vigra (ENAL) Sogndal (ENSG) or this version ENSG All three sceneries are also available as payware from ORBX. Recommend Departure time of 17:30 local Particulars: Date and time: Wednesday August 10, 18:00 UTC Where: AVSIM RTWR Teamspeak - Casual Flights Channel Teamspeak Server Address: ts.teamavsim.com MFS Multiplayer: US Eastcoast Server If you want to help others enjoy the multiplayer experience, don't forget to enter your aircraft details on the multiplayer spreadsheet (linked here). Your courtesy will save others a lot of time and effort. Thanks! Regards Gunter Schneider
August 10, 20223 yr Two things about amphibians on Wednesday. First, the terrific “Berserk” livery (for Gunter) seems to work with the Bush League Legends Carbonprop model for the XCub Amphibian. The CarbonProp version seems to be in retirement now, though I really don’t know. If you don’t have it already and want to see Gunter in the proper livery, you can get an older (April 2021) version v1.8 by looking at your email. And second, if you are going to fly an Asobo amphibian and really enjoy being reminded of your gear status, simply use the sim as it is. Otherwise, you might take a look at Rotornut44’s Shut Up 4 Water Landing. (My tests indicate it works in the C172 Amphibian and in the Husky Amphibian. It makes things worse for the Asobo XCub Amphibian.) Looks to be great fun. --Mike MacKuen

XCub, Carboncubs Gravel, GotGravel! I've tried for the best part of the afternoon trying to get Berserk to show but it's just succeeded in driving me...Guess! Sorry Gunter if I see you in a 777 with floats it won't be for the lack of trying! The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

August 10, 20223 yr Author Computer, a source for endless hours of fun and frustration... Thank s for trying. On my machine the livery appears with the Cub Crafter on Floats... Regards Gunter Schneider
August 10, 20223 yr I'm now setting about Jeff's Icelander. Found one mistake so I can now see the plane but it has pink floats. 🙄 The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
