Western Roundup: Official Entries

Berinsky ran the numbers and confirms the Carenado C340II as a Gold Class aircraft.

Welcome to the gang, Roman. Nice looking ship.

Welcome, N3306TX! Would you have the data needed for the Carenado Baron as that was an aircraft that we lacked and couldn't get the needed data?

Thanks in advance

Willy
 
I'll try to run 3 entries .... probably complete one before I start another.

Yes I am a maniac, but after this it's (past) time for a new HDD (or two) and a ton-o-reinstalls, so I'll going to get as much flying in as I can before that siege begins.



In no particular order:



salt_air; Cessna T310L; Dreamfleet/F1; FS9; Gold Class on the High Course; MSFS real weather (Jeppesen); Veteran.


salt_air; Mooney Bravo; MSFS; FS9; Silver Class on the Low Course; MSFS real weather (Jeppesen); Veteran.


salt_air; Cessna 177 Cardinal RG; Dreamfleet/F1; FS9; Bronze Class on the Low Course; MSFS real weather (Jeppesen); Veteran.




Thanks for the invitation .... this will be one of the better events of this year.



Good Luck everyone!
 
Hi Mike (N3306TX)

We have data (thanks to Rob Osborne) on the Carenado B58 which qualify it as a "Silver Class" entry. Please let us know if these numbers are about right.

And welcome, Austin (salt_air).

For everyone's information, here is what we have for the Carenado B58 in FSX:

Altitude Speed PPH
6,000 197 208
10,000 190 169

I've attached the data you requested. Probably included more than you wanted. There was no critical altitude listed in the aircraft.cfg file.

Western Roundup

My real-life schedule is chaotic as hell, but...

Howellerman, Beech Duke, Low course, REX, Rookie with a capital "R".

I have already learned a TON about flight programming/scheduling just from testing the first two legs, so this should be great fun! And real weather - who would have thought it rained in Seattle... :)

And as much as I love my RealAir Lancair, the RealAir Duke is a pretty sweet gas-guzzler in its own right.
 
I need to defer to different weather: I'll be using the default MSFS Jeppesen weather instead of REX for this event.
Reason: I'm having issues with REX lately -namely the recently released update.

My apologies to the rules committee for the last minute changes. Thanks.
 
Hi chaps. I'm hoping to be able to take part in this delightful looking event. Please register me in the "silver class". FSX Iris Diamond Star DA-42 using Active Sky Evolution weather and FTX. Much appreciated Bry

Corrected, per Mike's gentle reminder that the RealAir Beech Duke is Gold Class and is not meant to fly the Low Course.

Howellerman, Beech Baron 58, Low Course, FSX (Jeppeson - having issues with loading REX weather), and of course, Rookie with a capital "R"!

The choice was between the Meyers 200D and the G1000 Baron, and it boiled down to which plane do I want to sit in for 12 hours... :)
 
I'll also try to run 3 entries (Duenna tag= "rgo").

Gold Class (High Course): RealAir Beechcraft B-60 Duke

Silver Class (Low Course): Eaglesoft Diamond DA-42 Twin Star

Bronze Class (Low Course): Carenado Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

All in FSX
Active Sky 2012 (Low Altitude / Standard) Weather
Veteran

Thanks to SOH for Hosting and Exec Committee for another great event.
 
Ok, to get it in before the deadline, I'm entering a second run for when after I complete the first.

Willy in FS 2004 (modified to FS 1954), Milton's Spartan Executive, Gold Class on the High Course with FSrealWX lite.

Hey All,

I will enter 3 aircraft as well.

1) the Abacus Diamond DA-40 on the bronze low course - if not allowed then the Carenado 206
3) the real air SF260 on the silver course - this is my lowest priority.
2) the FSD Navajo on the gold high course

All FS9 all regular FS weather.

It is not the 27th on Vancouver island and I just got home from work. No where in the official rules or official notams does it indicate a zulu time so I assumed local.
