FlightNight Jun 18th - Norwegian bus trip
Our job is to supply some booties in the arctic circle with as much real food as possible. It's a kind of heavy-lift cargo (almost humanitarian) mission. Much as these guys are renowned for their "cheerfulness in adversity", the daily renditions of the Vera Lynn classic "whalemeat again!" are getting a bit tedious for them.
Deceptively simple flight plan: ENVA EN08 ENMS ENRA ENBO ENEV ENDU . . though we will be following roads, rivers, coastlines, fjords or whatever in between these points.
IAS: 280 knots, ALT: about 500 ft AGL or maybe less. The break/midway point ENRA (Mo i Rana Rossvoll ) is tricky because it is only 2,626 ft long
Recommended aircraft: Airbus A400M Grizzly. Comms on TeamSpeak.
Depart: 2005Z (UTC) from ENVA, Vaernes, runway 27. Get there 5 minutes before, for a briefing - otherwise catch up as best you can.

Thanks for grabbing this one, Mate!!
VooDoo
Is there an updated grizzly ?
The other one didn't have reverse ? or summit. I dunno.
nope
The missing reversers is just a keyboard/key thing. Try swapping out
a400m/Nasal/keyboard.xml for what is in this:
Delete key should then Toggle Reversers. Or set your own key.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
A couple of orthos for practising short take-offs and landings at ENRA (Mo i Rana Rossvoll )

Is that a textured Grizzly you've got there Warty?
Yes it is. I spent a couple of hours yesterday as an experiment - but only on the main structures. The AC3D model is very, very messy. Like I said in the other topic, the liveries are much of a muchness anyway.
Some Photoscenery for Saturdays flightnight

Add to your custom scenery folder and then add to your scenery at start up - Add Ons - Additional Scenery Folders
I think the issue Sanni is talking about is that only people with a Microsoft OneDrive account can download them.
Yep. As of last week that became an issue

Same problem.... only if you have an account you can download it.
Please use an other hoster...
Sorry
It works for me and Microsoft OneDrive is a free service which can be setup with minium effort.
The full thing is 2.38 GB which seems to be outside the limit for non-members. I found I could download an indivdual folder ( eg: e010n63 ). I was also able to go inside a folder and download a particular tile such as e010n63 > 3122777.dds
Inside Orthophotos > e010n60 are 30 folders, of which probably only 15 are really needed.
like these ones?
The software uses the route.xml and being a long distance flight determines the number of tiles and hence the size of the download.
Supplies distributed and ready to load up with bacalao (dried and salted cod) to take home.
Thanks to all attending AirPeeps. Not too many incidents - well done!
I found this sample flight (for a commerical FSX A400M aircraft) may be useful for reference for cockpit flight and navigation instruments

A very interesting aircraft worth further development.
Good flightnight last night many thanks flight leader
