gazoeller 145 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Dear all, as a member of the previously, successfully concluded Aerosoft Round The World Tour 2015 Please login to display this image. I feel compelled to participate also in this second challenge to orbit mother earth. In parallel I'm participating in the given time frame for this tour at an air race across the US states performed by my VA Andras Meridian Airlines using a Piper PA 24 Comanche . Therefore I don't have the time necessary to fly this tour Around the World in Eighty Days in an adequate historic but also slower airplane which I assume would be e.g. the Messerschmitt Bf 108 B. However, I will use the CRJ 700/900 X which I received as a generous compliment by Aerosoft (thanks s again Mathijs!) for finishing the Aerosoft Round The World Tour 2015. I will fly this plane in the specific livery below which was provided on occasion of the conclusion of that event. Perhaps at the end of this new tour we could add an additional logo "... and in 80 days!". Please login to display this image. I'm still using FSX in conjunction with AS16 for real weather support. Please expect my flight plan soon at this location, so far I didn't work on it. Your flightsim fellow Gernot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazoeller 145 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I did some rough planning on my legs for this tour around the world.The SkyVector map is centered at the starting and finish location London Heathrow Airport. Please login to display this image. As already mentioned I want to fly the CRJ 900. I intend to fly real time, real weather in front of the screen, as we did on the previously ending Aerosoft Worldtour 2015. The stopover destinations have been selected in such a way that the duration of the various legs will be about one hour, max. two hrs. I planned one leg per day, but feel free to change within the timeframe of the preset due dates. Detailed routes will be planned during flight briefing according to current weather conditions using simBrief. The table below shows the destinations, the distances of the legs as well as scheduled flight days. The green boxes indicate some spare time with respect to the yellow marked due date given by the rules setup by Matthijs. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

Tobus 161 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Clearly you guys have never been in Egypt.

We managed to get some crates of champagne and good French red wine to enjoy on the further tour. Sorry Toby, got your message about beer or another strange drink(?) too late. And btw I hope nobody is offending me for this statement, but I think French red wine and champagne by far are excelling French beer. Philippe can you agree on this? But don’t be sad Toby, Thorsten told me, he has some crates of good beer in his C-47. So there will be no need to drink camel piss. Sorry I really don't want to share your experience in this particular issue. Perhaps you should invest in a better dictionary to avoid future misunderstandings when ordering beer in foreign countries. Please login to display this image.
