Classic British Flight Sim

Hi Guys,

Just a quick heads up. We've purchased eight Trident 2's for operating the CAAC routes in China. These routes include several to Hong Kong/Kai Tak and will be complemented well by the recently released 9 Dragons scenery for FS9. The CAAC routes are already flightplanned at FlyNET and we have taken delivery of the aircraft. Currently the aircraft are located at Chicago/KORD, Paris/LFPG and Munich/EDDM. Flightplans to enable ferry flights to Beijing should be available some time over the weekend.

Regards

John

I'm toying with this John but am not sure if I want to go back to Hong Kong. One of my clearest memories of the 'then' colonial outpost was.. 'why is the chap trying to sell me a Seiko wearing a Timex'?? :think: As it happens.. I bought the Seiko anyway and had it engraved with my initials (on the strap) at the China Fleet Club.. Christmas '74

The longest distance is between UHPP - ZBAA at 1862nm direct routing so careful fuel planning should be made with regard to forecast headwinds and fuel state should be monitored en-route. Please note that there are no ILS facilities available at UHPP or UIII.

Hi John

I'll take B-288 from KORD. Try out that long leg & see if there's enough juice.

There is a full set of CAAC Trident 2 repaints (10mb) available for the CBFS fleet, so the proper reg can be flown if wanted:-
Links to repaints in this thread

These models are set up to use the normal panel & sounds available from http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/hs121_trident.htm
All current Trident pilots should have them installed already.
The aircraft.cfg files are set up to use the VC models. If you want the no-VC model instead, simply remove the 'VC' wherever it states 'panel=VC' and 'model=VC' in the aircraft.cfg files.

Hi John,

I'll take the one from EDDM when I get back from Finland. Rgr that on the repaints DM

I'll take B-263 at ORD.

Couple of things though -

1) Why Whidbey Island, a Naval Air Station (i.e. Military), instead of SEATAC? (just curious here)

2) Can you create a second set of flights for the Chicago run? I can't fly the leg when it's booked already.

Hi Chris,

Route was chosen for cheaper fuel prices. I've now doubled up on all the flightplans.

John

Ben, I put you down for 282.
