FlightNight May 20th - GA Galavant

Avionyx

Alright you bunch of FGUKers

This weekend at 8pm UK time we shall be meeting at Norwich airport EGSH

We will then be flying North East East to the coast and along some nice scenery. Taking in what seems to be some new terrasync objects, or at least things we've not noticed before.

Our half time break will be at Southend airport: EGMC

After a little refreshment we'll enjoy the sights further south as we cross the channel and head for Dunkirque (LFAK) for our final destination.

For this flight I invite you all to bring your favourite piston powered fixed wing aircraft that can comfortably maintain 105-115kts and at least 1.5hrs duration.

Comms will be via teamspeak and we'll be using 1200 (NOON) time and live weather unless it's really terrible

PLEASE POST YOUR AIRCRAFT CHOICES IN THIS THREAD TO AVOID BLUE GLIDERS - with a link if possible.

I know you like the P180, Alex. I have made some improvements for the cockpit....well I know it is not perfect but the cockpit works and looks better now.

If it is ok to bring an non-FGUK, then I would be in with a PC-9 from FGAddon (https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgaddon/HEAD/tree/trunk/Aircraft/PC-9M/).

stuartc

We have a PC9

The FGUK variant seems to be based on an older version than the FGAddon: => Do I need to use an FGUK aircraft? And if so: why - what is the difference?

stuartc

Just looked at that PC9 archive. Its a mess of 4 different aircraft. PC9, PC7, T6 and PC21

As long as you use the PC9M version, I think it will be seen by those with our PC9M, but im not entirely sure.

Avionyx

As long as you provide a link to whatever you want to fly, ideally by Saturday AM, then fly whatever you like if it fits the bill :)

stuartc

Orthos for Englandshire for those who dont already have it

Thanks Stuart!

I'm bringing a Davinci_Albatros D.Va - https://sites.google.com/view/fgukhangar/flightgear-uk-home-page/hangar/davinci-aircraft/warbirds/davinci_wwi_fighters

Depending on how high we fly it'll keep up. Barely.

Why is the bloody Lancaster Dam raid never ever done ?

I know Warty was experimenting with bouncing bomb physics et al, etc.

But just why ? Is it political ?

Porcy

Sorry for being 'in your face' but just a question.

stuartc

I think its because the Lancaster was due some serious updates

vanosten

I will use the FGUK PC-9M

Flashy_McFlashFace

I will be flying the at 17 https://sites.google.com/view/fgukhangar/flightgear-uk-home-page/hangar/davinci-aircraft/military-trainers/davinci_at-17

I see people have picked the pc-9m., but it's a turboprop ;)

stuartc

Very observant of you Flash.

PC9 will need flaps down the whole flight.

vanosten

Thanks for the ride. I normally fly fast fighter jets. But how beautiful isn't it to fly peacefully along, hear some jokes and get some sightseeing guidance! The first is definitively not my last participation. Thanks a lot.
