Race Team Four - Modern GA - Cessna 414A Chancellor

[Spookster67]

We're just finalizing preparations for a departure in the next few days.

[Spookster67]

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:

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!

We are installed and ready ... will give it a go! Have posted in the AspireFSX.cm forum to get together tonite if anyone is available.

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.
