| The World's Toughest Airfields | |
|
Hello fellow adventurous flyers and welcome to the Worlds Toughest Airfields. I invite you to come fly with me to test your skills and nerves on these flights.
All of the flights listed below are contained in this Downloadable ZIP File.
|
|
|
INSTALLATION: |
|
Unzip the contents of this file into the folder where you store your flights... typically:
For FS9:
C:\User\yourname\My Documents\Flight Simulator Files\
C:\User\yourname]\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\ |
|
| Loading the GPS Route | |
Now that you have downloaded and saved the flight plans (PLN files), you need to load the flight into the
simulator. Do the following:
|
|
| Taxi to a Parking Spot | |
|
Start your aircraft and taxi to your desired location in the parking area. I recommend executing
a "Restart Cold and Dark" and then run through the Pre-Flight, Before Startup and Startup
checklists to get your aircraft ready for the pending fun!
|
|
| Save and Load your Flight | |
Next, from the simulator's main menu, click on Flights > Save to SAVE your flight. Let's call this
flight (for example)...
|
|
| Connect to Come Fly With Me | |
Presuming that you've already set-up TeamSpeak and FSHost (see Installation section), you now
can connect to Come Fly With Me by saying to to co-pilot...
|
|
|
NOTE: PRESS THE LEFT SHIFT KEY TO SPEAK WITH OTHER PILOTS
|
|
| Letting Michelle Help You with the Take Off and Climb Out | |
|
Okay... you're ready to take off from the departing airport. You ask Michelle to set the altitude, the runway heading,
and ask her to set the flaps for take off.
You say to Michelle, "Takeoff Checklist". She asks, "Would you like me to assist you?"
You respond with "Affirmative".
You apply full power and you're now rolling down the runway. Once you pass the critical V1 speed,
Michelle will say, "Rotate". You pull up
on the yoke ever so lightly. Voila... you're airborne! If your aircraft has retractable gear, then once you've
gained a positive rate of climb, Michelle automatically pulls up the gear! As you gain altitude and settle
in at a suitable rate of climb, Michelle automatically retracts the flaps. After the flaps have
been retracted, say... "Auto-Pilot on." |
|
| Having Michelle Maintain your Airspeed and Rate of Climb | |
|
After engaging the Auto-Pilot, you ask Michelle to take care of the airspeed by saying, for example, "Air speed 110."
But Michelle does more than simply handle the airspeed! She'll also automatically controls the Vertical Rate of Climb
to ensure that the aircraft stays above stall speed. For example, in a Cessna C172 Skyhawk, she'll try to
maintain a climb-out airspeed of between 80-85 knots. This becomes far more important when climbing to
higher altitudes.
|
|
| Fly the Planned Route Using GPS/VOR | |
|
Now, let's all fly in beautiful formation by having the aircraft's Auto-Pilot fly the Pre-Planned GPS Route.
You say... "Resume GPS Navigation"." The aircraft will then
turn and lock-on to the GPS route, leaving you more time to take in the beautiful Canadian scenery and freeing up
your left-hand to push the LEFT SHIFT KEY to communicate via TeamSpeak with your fellow pilots.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you find that the aircraft wanders off of the GPS route, press the D key to reset the Heading Indicator. Have fun and enjoy yourself. Regards, Robert |
