Hi
I've just finished a photo run in the BAC TSR2. I planned this as a way of demonstrating the frightful potential this marvelous aircraft had. The planned trip was from Athens to Finland, via Rostov, Volgograd, Penza, Moscow and Leningrad. the initial part from Athens to the Black Sea was done at medium altitude with a refueling over the Black Sea just off the coast of Turkey. Then low level from there to Finland. I chose to use the prospective ability of the TSR2 to carry external drop tanks and a 2000lb weapons/camera load. However the model will not display the external stores in FSX so its just pretend as far as the screen shots are concerned.
Speed was kept at 650 knots for most of the trip with a short mach run over Moscow. Height was kept to about 300-500ft AGL although this was a bit difficult as FSX doesn't allow you to set terrain following heights.
This flight really showed just how capable this aircraft could have been.
