Breaks and Stream Landings...

Post by petermcleland »

While working up some close formation landings, at an interim stage, this rather realistic break and stream landing scenario cropped

up. I am very impressed with the efficiency of it...Twelve aircraft down and parked in very quick time with no go-arounds or problems.

I will use this technique for all the 208 Squadron arrivals at the six destinations out to Kenya, except that they will break from echelons

rather than finger fours.

This YouTube video should be watched with HQ clicked once and the sound turned right up...it even looks good in Full Screen Mode :fly:

Nigel, there are several secrets and they are far too complex to explain here...When I get the squadron out to Kenya, I will release a package that will run in anyones FS9 and then people who are interested can figure it out from the files. However, it is a lot of work to make those flypasts and I don't think anyone will be keen enough to try :)

Thank you Neil...I have a lot of fun dreaming up these projects and great satisfaction out of seeing them work. When 208 are back flying in Kenya I have some very interesting plans for noisy happenings back in Alaska at McLeland Field :lol:
