    Winds are up, so let's get started

    Well there are some strong westerly winds in western Europe right now, so let's see whether we can find them. Not sure about the range in this Cessna 414A, so we'll head towards Bucharest but probably stop short in Austria.

    Also still not sure who my fellow team pilots are... but I'll find some, somewhere.

    Let's go

    EGUN to LRBS, or perhaps shorter.

    Stuart - this is the aircraft:
    http://www.premaircraft.com/C414_FSX/index.html

    It has a good panel, but needs a fuel status gauge. Here's the code to insert into the panel.cfg:

    Code:
    Window08=Fuel Status
     
    //--------------------------------------------------------
    [Window08]
    Background_color=0,0,0 
    size_mm=200,64
    window_size_ratio=1
    position=1
    visible=0
    ident=48
    gauge00=RKG_fuelstat!FuelStatusSq_turbine_wide, 0,0,200
    Please go ahead and fly it Monday evening. Can we get Roger to join the team?

    The range is 950 to 1000nm on a full tank, so at least 100nm short of getting me to Bucharest. Bratislava (LZIB) was right on the course line towards Baghdad, so that is where I've parked it. Keys are in the flying club hut, behind the bar.

    I found some strong winds, but mostly from the side rather than behind. I also had a headwind at times, so not the fastest flight. Anyway, we're off!

    Nice work Stuart, good to see you flying again.

    Cumulative flight time: 8:30:13.

    I reckon that's only a matter of seconds outside the handicap target at Baghdad.

    Thanks - still rough, no voice and a sore chest but able to prop myself up for the sim :mixedsmi:

    Only a few seconds eh ... must try harder then ... just looked handicap is 8:29:33 and cumulative is 8:30:13 so I'm 2/5th second over or so?

    Wow, you're covering some miles in the Cessna today! I was just about the grab the baton and head for VYCI - now that would have been "do or swim" !!

    What else to do when at home poorly ... TV is not for me ... something constructive IS ...

    I want to take advantage of the tail wind to make up for the head wind that cost me some 20 or more minutes on the handicap before my hard work turns to

    Good luck with your flight too ... I'm doing it live on aspirefsx.com in the dark too!!
