March 28, Misfits 'n WAG's lunch surprise

Post by Tobus75 »

Sunday march 28th multiplay flight.

Notice: you need Orbx KBLU pack for this, which holds all 3 fields we will be visiting this flight.
https://orbxdirect.com/product/kblu
It's on sale up to 28th of March for 15usd/12euro. I can tell you this pack is very much worth it.

The flight:
Next to being stone cold devil may care gung ho pilots, the A2A Misfits are also true romantics.
To honor both of these traits, we will surprise our WAG's (wives and girlfriends) with a breathtakingly beautiful flight, followed by a nice lunch at a local farmhouse.

We will take off from Gansner, 2O1. We follow the road east, winding itself through the mountainous area, until we reach the town of Graeagle.
From there we "hop" from lake to lake to keep our VFR bearings: Gold Lake, Jacksons Meadows Reservoir, Bowman Lake, Lake Spaulding.
From there a short hop to KBLU for some spot landing practice, either full stop or touch n go. The one(s) landing exactly on the numbers earns eternal bragging rights.

After we've impressed our WAG's we head on west, via Scotts Flat Lake and Lake Wildwood, lining us with a quick 90deg bend south on the RH pattern entry for rwy28 of CA21, Limberlost Ranch.
The landing practice at KBLU was not without reason, as Limberlost Ranch is not without it's challenges.
Land it at the very base of the runway, as the last part slopes up directly to our parking area. Also we need to land separated and the ones landed need to pull their mount all the way to the back in order to fit.
All others will have to hold above Lake Wildwood until the previous pilot is down and taxiing.

Aircraft: J3 Cubs including fun and happy WAG.
Real Time: 1830z / 2030cet (just a reminder as DST will commence this weekend here in Europe)
Sim Time: 1130 in the morning.
Weather: real / historic (should be the same) if good. If clouds below 7000ft, we go fair.
Online: joinfs digitalthemepark hub, discord A2A multiplayer channel.

Toby and all

The ORBX KBLU 3 airport pack is not available for P3Dv5.1. You can only get it for the older versions. All 3 are there in v5 but only as default of course.

I was going to mention that as well, but Paughco told me a few months ago that the Orbx sceneries that are not yet available for v5 in Central, KBLU being one, do work in v5. It's just a matter of copying the v4 folders to the v5 library and they will work. I initially found that not all of my missing airport sceneries worked that way for me, but I've just redone the copy and paste operation last evening and visited all three airports in v5 to confirm that all is well.

Thanks again Paughco, I'd never have thought to try that on my own! :mrgreen:

Cheers All,
Rob

I am aware of that Rob but all my v4 folders were uninstalled the moment v5 came out so that is not an option for me, or for those that did not have v4 in the first place.

ORBX doesn’t charge anything for downloading stuff you’ve already bought. Just re-download the KBLU package for v4 and do the v5 shuffle. Small hassle, but totally worth it.

No joy with that Alan.

If it can't find v4 it will not even allow a download, never mind an install.
