Mitre Peak in Milford Sound...

[petermcleland]

I really love this aeroplane and I'm seriously thinking about flying it around the World, starting and finishing here!

Here are a few more:-









I've found that the ORBX Queenstown is very demanding and needs settings to be adjusted down a bit...I reckon if the Sim flies smoothly with the "Queenstown settings", then it will fly smoothly anywhere!

Go for it!!!

An incredible FS aeroplane and a beautiful start and finish point.
It should be great fun planning each leg (real world weather would make it even more challenging) and I can't think of anyone better experienced and skilled for the task than your good self, Peter.
If you do decide to embark on the adventure, please keep us updated with some 'screenies' and a log.

Best wishes

As Kevin said "Go for it" I am sure that you will have many adventures to write about starting from the take-off which looks pretty challenging to me with all the mountains sat nicely in front of the R/W!!

I think the C47 has really changed my outlook on flying in FS but now thoroughly enjoy the slow and lazy flights with this a/c, flying between 6000 -8000ft enjoying the countryside as it passes by. Think I might just be finished with fast jetliners and concentrate mainly with props from now on.

Nigel.

Yes, I will be starting the planning soon...Right now I'm getting used to P3Dv3 and making the world a nicer looking place to fly over, courtesy of ORBX-FTX...a lot of it I already have installed on P3Dv2 so I just point the scenery library at it and it is working again in P3Dv3. I have chosen the GLOBAL option for Europe and North America and the more localised stuff for the rest of the world.

Nigel, I'm very familiar with Milford Sound and years ago I finished my Pacific Circuit there in my ancient R4D...You can fly out of here by turning a bit right, leaving Mitre Peak well to your left and just hugging the water out to the ocean. You might then want to make a bit of a climb before turning back to cross the mountains. Or the coastal route is very pretty and I've driven that a couple of times in a car.

I feel the same way as you about the C47 and much prefer to adventure in that, than jet airliners!

Yes Kevin...I'll keep you posted

Thanks, Peter - I'll look forward to that.
It might even encourage me to embark on my own adventure.

Must go and have a look at Milford Sound and try out a take-off there, you make it sound so easy Peter, but then again, you have a lot more experience at flying than us.
