FlightNight 6th Jan 2024 - Back to the Coola

stuartc · January 3

So its been almost a year since we did this the first time so I thought we would do it all again to see how your Heli skills have improved.

We shall meet at CYBD, Bella Coola at 8pm. This is our operational base for the entire flight.

This will require you to be proficient with a Helicopter with Skids, NOT Wheels.

We are assisting in resupply to remote cabins in the local area. This will involve carrying out landings like this:-

There are 6 pads scattered around the local area. Each has been given an ICAO code to help you navigate to them. You can see the codes once you are in sim, go to your Location tab on the F10 menu, and search for airports. Tick the Helipad box and Under 100 miles and you can see the codes.

All the ICAO codes for the pads are BCH00 to BCH05

Make the bellacoola folder a custom scenery folder. If the above mentioned codes are available, then the folder is being detected by FG.

I would suggest not having dense vegetation/trees set in this area, as it is Very densely populated and you may kill your FPS.

Now for the Extra Crunch. You crash, you are not permitted to instantly respawn. Most our choppers have a SAR recovery script fitted. You will use this to request assistance from one of your fellow pilots who will come and lift your chopper back to base, at which point you can respawn. If He/She also crashes, same rule applies.

To recover someone once they request your assistance, you need to hover over the crash site and descend until the connection is made ( requires coordination between the pilots ).

The crashed chopper can then be lifted back to base.

If your chosen chopper does not have it, its very simple to add it. Here is a zip with the nasal and instructions to add it to any chopper:-

Good luck.
