RTWR 2018 Practice 4

Just to make sure I'm headed the right way: The next leg should be South to SSW-ish, yes?
I told y'all, I am a lousy planner :dizzy: :biggrin-new:

I was considering a thoroughbred to CYHZ. We did want to run TB legs, no?
Having said that, a "default plane" to CYZV would be perfect, say in a C208.
Those are my current ideas. Any input? I sure appreciate the help.

I was thinking CZBF or CYCH. That would give us a wildcard leg to TXKF and then another wildcard leg from there would get us to the Caribbean.

Mostly depends on the 'longer' scheme - trying to get hops thru Bermuda and into the Caribbean, or down the coast and through Florida. http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=cykl-SCGZ
CYZV fits the former but from the general look of the weather you might need an approach aid of some sort so further might be better.
The overland route leads to CYBG (CFB Bagotville) if you don't mind tangling with CF-18s and sharing an ILS to an 11,000 foot runway. Interesting little museum at Bagtown too.

Well, anyway, I have the baton at CYKL, heading to CYHZ in the Alpha F-80 Thoroughbred. FSRWX

EDIT: Sorry, I already went..
The CYBG sounds awesome though. When I was in Yuma I flew a Tomahawk trying to get my licence again, and I loved sharing with Kfir's Harriers and '18's at MCAS Yuma...
 
Thoroughbred legs are up to 750 Nm, or did I misread the rules again?
Pat☺
PS: Rule 4 (ii) b, unless I missed something in there...
 
Rules:

1. Any airport in the default FSX/PD3/FS2004 database can be used.
3. Max leg length 500nm. (More reps this way).
4. Real time and weather.
4. Aircraft type = Please keep it focused on whitelisted aircraft. The occasional jetliner is okay as I am assuming they will be used in the race on a limited basis.
5. Time limit on all legs is the standard 2hrs.
6. Post results in this thread.

These rules only apply for this practice.
In the Race itself we can fly legs of up to 750 NM.

Race legs are 750nm. But practice rules say 500nm (except that Dave says we should treat them as "guidelines"). Go for it...

Edit: Frank got there before me.
 
Oh heck. Drek.
Ok, well, that's what practice is for, to get my head squared away.
I apologize to all. I'll get this "stuff" eventually, you wait and see! :D
Leg aborted, baton is back at CYKL again....
Pat☺

Ha-ha! Ok, what do y'all want me to do, carry on (pun intended), or abort?
 
You prolly wanna remap that slew key. using the shift-y makes it harder to hit it accidentally during a flight.

Definitely remap the slew key during the race. That has bit me many times. In fact I remapped all single key commands into some combination of multi-keys.
