DMW FLY IN WEDNESDAY 18th FEBRUARY



The February fly in will be a trip from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic (MDSD) to St. Maarten (TNCM) in the Caribbean

The theme for this fly-in is HEAVIES!! :yahoo: . Any big jet you can find is fine for this flight.  If you still want to join us on the fly in but dont fancy taking a 'heavy' then feel free to use one of the larger private jets if you wish. No props this fly in though please.

Any pilots interested meet on the server and TeamSpeak around 19:30 GMT ready for take off at around 20:00 GMT. server details can be found here
[/SIZE]

Flight time is roughly 1 hour and 15 mins with a cruising speed of 300 knots (ish).  You can download the .pln file here if you wish to import it into the FSX flight planner, alternatively the flight plan is below:

MDSD >> MIROX >> DARSI >> POBEP >> MELLA >> DDP >> MALIE >> STT >> JUICE >> TNCM

PLEASE NOTE: When you load this flight plan into FSX it will say that Las Americas, your departure airport, does not exit.  Just ignore this, you will spawn at the correct airport. (I think the name has changed since FSX was released)

You may think, 'thats a rather random place to have a fly-in', well..take a look at the landing you will be attempting below :norty:

Before joining the server be sure to have all air traffic turned off otherwise you will see AI aircraft on the ground and in the air.  Also please make sure you have read the server rules (here) so you are aware of the do's and don'ts.

If your new to FSX this is a great opportunity to come and learn the basics, im sure any questions you may have can be answered.  

I hope to see you on the night, if you have any questions feel free to contact me or one of the admins or reply here :)

This will be fun as TNCM has no ILS, just a VOR beacon.   So it's VFR landing and you're over water all the way until the start of the runway - and more water at the other end if you're touching down too far along the runway or can't stop!

....and here's your VOR landing. courtesy of the FSX Mission (which you can practice before we video the crash)!


TCNM VOR is 113.0
Runway Heading 096

Happy landings!

If you're not aiming to land in it, it's irrelevant! :P

lol..anyhew FSX SE is installed with all my orbx and aircraft..except pmdg737 and the  q400, which dont work, so alongside SE it is a fresh install of FSX disc edition with everything, so im up for Wednesday. I had to disconnect my steam drive to get the disc edition to take all the aircraft and scenary!

I'll be taking the base 747 from FSX on this flight and trying to stop a few hundred tons of aircraft-grade aluminium before the runway ends and the ugly water starts.

:thumb: I think I will take the plunge and go with the jumbo too.  Managed to land a 757 pretty easily with plenty of runway left so will crank it up a notch I think

Sparko said heavy so I have found files that will work with FSX:SE for this plane.

Antonov An-225*Mriya

I hope I will be able to stop before I hit the water.

Take off will be a little tight too, you need the best part of 10,000 feet at modest payload to get airborne and that's just under the runway length! :P

My chosen ride for the Fly-In.

Btw, is everyone happy with how to use VOR or should we link or post a quick guide to help?  There's plenty of videos on the net too.
