Hey hey!

 

Is the offer still up for grabs? I wouldnt mind either the KingAir, Caravan C20 or even the Grumman Goose (awesome thing to fly in groups, I bet).

 

Now, my knowledge of aviation is still sp[Mod - Happy Thoughts], but what if we fly in uncontrolled space, making it a wee bit easier?

 

Edit: as for the Grumman Goose, I can highly recommend this free rework of the original Goose by OZx:

Yer, that would be good, at about 1800z if thats ok (1900gmt) we can fly the goose if u want, we can decide what to do when we get online im fine with anything really, we can fly out of controlled airspace if u want, or because it is easy to fly vfr in controlled zone we could do that, i can help u if u want (even tho im new too, im getting the hang of vfr) thanks, EDIT: i dont think i will be able to use the goose, is it for fsx? i'm fs2004 and my computer isn't that powerful, so i don't know about that, but i have some other good boatplanes that do work so i can use those

Ah, ok I use FSX, but I dont think that should be any problems? You wouldnt happen to have the RealAir Scout by any chance? Bit slow, but thus easier Otherwise, how about the (default?) KingAir?

 

I'd prefer uncontrolled airspace, unless you're able to get our both through clearance etc. Im not really sure how it works when you're two flying the same route, really.

 

Unfortunately, I dont have a printer at home either, so I cant print out charts etc, and will have to make do with what I can put on the screen = asking for trouble, really...I often need good time to study the charts etc.

 

Btw, I'm in time zone CET, which I think is GMT+1...so that should be 20:00 my time. Works for me

Ok, Tom...Ive found out how to use the built-in private chat feature in FSINN. You will need to find out how to use your software (Squawkbox?) so that you can dial in a frequency *in* the FS plane and transmit through that.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Yeah, Im finding it a bit hard finding the time for this. Last time we spent 1:15 without even getting off the ground.

 

I may be able to try today if its done reasonably soon. How does 14:00 CET sound for you guys? Thats little over an hour from now...
