On May 2nd, we will be doing short hops in the Caribbean, from St. Maarten (TNCM) to Piarco (TTPP). After a great turnout from our last GA event, we decided to do another. The event will last several hours, and we will depart St. Maarten at 1800 Zulu time. (1:00 PM Central US, 11:00 AM US Pacific, 2:00 PM US Eastern)

Route

The route will be provided, leg by leg, during the flight, but I am also posting it here. The route we will fly is as follows...

St Maarten (TNCM)
St Barts (TFFJ)
F.D. Roosevelt (TNCE)
Newcastle (TKPN)
Baillif (TFFB)
Melville Hall (TDPD)
Le Lamentin (TFFF)
George F.L. Charles (TLPC)
ET Joshua (TVSV)
Union I. Intl (TVSU)
Point Salines Intl (TGPY)
Piarco Intl (TTPP)

Scenery

We have two sceneries, one is mandatory, the other isn't

Mandatory scenery: This one is required for the flight! The airports will still appear in FS without this, but the airports are repositioned in this scenery, and it enhances the mesh, airports, landclass, and autogen for the islands we will fly to. It is the Antilles Adventure Pack, available as freeware here: http://www.jg-laurent.com/en/ The installer is not in English, although that isn't a problem for me, just hit the button on the bottom right corner like any other installer.

Non-mandatory scenery: This scenery is not required, although will greatly enhance two airports. The scenery is Flytampa's well known TNCM scenery (payware), and covers TNCM, TFFJ, and SABA. You can buy it here: http://www.flytampa.org/ I highly recommend it.

Aircraft

I would recommend any single engine or small twin engine prop aircraft (Carenado M20J, C182, Piper Seneca, Beech Baron 58, ect), and I request we cruise around 110 knots to 150 knots. Some suggestions would be many of Carenado's payware aircraft, PAD's DH-2 Turbo Beaver, aircraft from Justflight's Flying Club, and PAD's freeware Socata Tobago & Trinidad for FSX.



We hope to have a good turnout! See you guys in the Caribbean.

Sweet I'm already hyped up!

I uninstalled the Antilles Adventure Pack from the last flight because it messed up my TBPB scenery, but I can always install and uninstall once more.

Come on and join, it will be great fun

I will be joining you on this event! And by chance I just got Carenado's M20J recently and I love it and have been flying it recently. S will use that to fly the event!

I will see you all there!

I bought it recently, also.  A great little aircraft.

[Ainsleh]

I am going to be there! Looking forward to it!

[VFR_Pierre]

I will probably come. I love the Caribbean, I'm excited!

[Prash]

Awesome! But what abut SABA?!?!

[Buziel-411_RED]

Hope to see all of you guys there!

Awesome! But what abut SABA?!?!

I decided to leave SABA off for several reasons. One, some people will be using Flytampa's SABA, others might use freeware versions of the airport, and others use default. This means we will see each other in the mountain side, floating in the air, or on the water. Two, some of us might crash and it would add complications to the flight (remember my approach the other day? ).

Yeah, 11.

[VFR_Pierre]

Build a machine! Instead of that MacBook.

[Buziel-411_RED]

Two days guys, hope to see a good turnout. Don't forget to install the scenery!

Macbook FTW!

I won't consider FSX for months, after the Macbook and when the time comes to save for a new CPU to replace my horrible 2.20GHz Dual Core AMD processor, that came stock on my computer. Although I'll probably just keep enhancing Fs9: look at you, you can't even participate in our events due to FSX.

[Ainsleh]

is the Piper Arrow IV good to fly?
Considering buying it!

[Jonay]

so does the scenery work with FSX?

if not ill just use it with FS9...

If i can get on.. either ill be out.. or ill not be able to get online.. i havent tried online flying with my new rig with Windows 7.. has anyone managed?
