Gandys Rocky rim ride

[gandy]

What a bumpy ride that was.. I need a beer and a vomit bag...

YPDN - WIHH ( 1467.6nm ) and 951lbs ( 142.1gal ) of fuel left over

my first night landing and one of the airports we have to do a full stop at

ps this aircraft has a max level flight speed of mach 0.96 and not 1.3, it can only do that in a dive and then it will fall apart.

YPDN - WIHH ( 1467.6nm ) and 951lbs ( 142.1gal ) of fuel left over

Here we go Picking on the new guy...

I think that is WIIH

Other than that Congratulations and nice flight.

[MaddogK]

Hmm, better than 1 MPG @ M.9. (395 nmph avg)

1022.5 gal fuel used, 1467 NM travelled.

NICE job.

there is no airport called WIIH in fsx, sadly i think there is a com error between Duenna and fsx, if you check the coordinates at the end of the flight log it will show as WIHH on the maps

[Willy]

The different ICAO code for FSX is noted in the rules. No worries.

Good job gandy!!

All the way around, the flight, your choices on a/c and route and you've stepped right up out of the blue and mastered posting in a duenna run event.

You're gonna be tuff I can tell,,,,way to go mate!

Enjoy this!

[Willy]

What happened to the mandatory stop at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage? (PAED)

If it was me, I'd be backtracking there as fast as I could.

[gandy]

Not all VORs will give you both bearing and distance, only the ones with a hexagon inside a square. The ones with only a square will give you distance but not bearing, and the ones with only a hexagon will give you bearing but not distance.

The good ones get pretty sparse way out in the boonies.
