Calling all Wildfire Pilots

[Slund]

The Wildfire Pilot Firebombing Procedures Manual (http://www.wildfirepilot.com/Wildfire%20Pilot%20Firebombing%20Procedures%20Manu al.pdf) is now available in a draft PDF format. For anyone who is interested in fighting forest fires in FSX or Fs9 this manual will help you to follow real world procedures without getting bogged down in all the boring details. The manual is primarily focused on fixed wing air attack procedures but much of this relates directly to helicopter work as well. A helicopter specific section will be added as soon as possible. If you have any feedback or questions regarding the manual please visit our website at wildfirepilot.com (http://www.wildfirepilot.com/) and post in our forums section. I have also uploaded a new forest fire scenery that places three small forest fires outside of Smithers BC. The fires are close to the airport and in some challenging terrain, perfect for a multiplayer flight. You can find the scenery in our forums under the "Incident Downloads" section.<!--Signature-->

Neat website you've got there!

Thanks guys, I've attached a screenshot that I took today while flying on one of the fires near Smithers CYYD. Flying through smoke in steep terrain will keep you on your toes.:running:

Interesting! I assume these are made up missions?

Wow, that brings back a lot of memories.

There not missions Jmig, just effects placed in FSX and set to appear on a specific date. The primary use is for multiplayer firebombing sessions but flying a tanker in single player and blanketing or boxing in the fires with retardant is good fun as well. I'm hoping to have time soon to start developing a number of sceneries and will continue to build the various tanker bases we have in BC so that we have a place to start and reload from. The Prince George tanker base can be downloaded from my website, Puntzi Mtn tanker base and Cambell River are in the works and should be finished this Fall.
