Must read the rules Had my RTW head on and thought altitude cap was 10,000 feet. scrub my first run, gonna give it a whirl with the proper altitudes.:redf:

Will do this in Xomer's An-2. Know how to start engine and fly the thing.:isadizzy:

Hey Vicious sweet run their yesterday was a great day for flying there.
Buzz two things
Which Bear Cat are you using?
Do you think it can do the whole event on one tank of gas
Nice video
Maybe for fun i will try it tonight. Then I can eliminate anther aircaft I can't land. :d

I can't get to U72 under 8500' with my terrain mesh without going to hell and gone in an end run coming BACK from the following stop at ID67. Me and Dave are working a clandestine practice again tonight. Did I say that out loud?
I'm working 2 planes that can challenge Vicious' speed but one is fuel challenged and the other is most unforgiving of sloppy pattern handling. And their both piston-powered...:d
(we don't need no steenking turboprops :costumes
Yeah and we got the Auto Gen Slider
FULL RIGHT
Which means some of these strips are very challenging. Dive in yank on the stick and hope you don't go splat. :costumes:

I thought the 02ID-13ID leg had a 9500 limit? What did the "9500 ***" mean?
Vicious
John, to reach U72 with FSGenesis FS9 mesh I found it necessary to drop the autogen trees which just allows one to scrape over a low point on one intervening ridge... :redf:
(With full trees, I managed to get through at 8470ft--too close to replicate with any confidence. Landed with pine needles lodged in the gear.:isadizzy

You fellas look like you are having fun. I like fun. :d
Results are already in from the first test run. Numbers are looking good so far for this super-secret RTW legal aircraft.
Hope to do the full route this weekend.
Actually, I didn't forget them Dave. I made an error in transferring the data from the spreadsheet to the written rule in Post #2 (pasting from Word/Excel doesn't always go smoothly in here)
The cap altitudes got slipped in the transfer.. 4 legs of 8500, the one at 9500, one at 9000 and 4 at 8500 is the sequence - so, the correct "high" legs are:
13ID 0U1 15.4 9500 ft ASL
0U1 U72 34.5 9000 ft ASL
ALL OTHERS ARE 8500 ASL MAX.
when I checked the times I was going by my original sheet as shown above.
Now Vicious did indeed work from the initial posted data so I have to bite the bullet and let his leg stand as flown and the total reverts to his posted 1:02:++ which puts him in Dr. House's chair with some pain killers. So far! (Wanna refly the 4th leg at 8500 and see how you do? - just for fun)
I'll recheck the others in a few minutes and make the appropriate comments. Since I'm NOT keeping a running tally you'll have to make your own notes on the bathroom wall. (Rules will be edited to show the correction for those yet to fly)
Someone had better get a fast plane going though -- I think an under-one-hour time is possible...

Since I can't edit a post that old...
REVISED, EDITED AND CORRECTED Things you need to know:
The entire area is capped due to a Homeland Security exercise overhead (10,000 ASL and above) so be careful of Altimeter Settings and altitudes! (Winds and mountainous terrain can change altimeter settings significantly enroute) A Ten (10) Minute penalty is applied to any leg that exceeds the listed Max Enroute Altitude as shown on the Duenna. The caps have been tested but do NOT guarantee terrain clearance for a direct route.

This is my leg 4 reflight at the correct altitude. I actually picked up a few seconds, so it doesn't appear that I had any real benefit from the higher altitude limit. I could probably make up some more time on legs 5 and 6 at the higher limits now set, but I don't think it will matter much. I know I left more than a few minutes on the course and there's faster runs yet to come. :d
Vicious
I hate to suggest this but I have some recollection of the Tucano being one of those way too hot planes (FM) that was not RTW useable. Dave would have no way of knowing this. MM might have an answer to this.
Good flying!
