Jeff W 112 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The rules state "the first topic will contain your complete route." I assume that this is a full listing of the individual leg starting and finishing airport identifiers. You are not expecting intermediate navigational waypoints of each leg? Once we have declared a routing, are we locked to only those legs or are we free to modify the itinerary as we proceed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor531 1 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 When it says 7 days dose that mean that how long everyone has to do that flight and then each flight you give them 7 days to do that flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three questions from me: Real weather...well...FSGRW isn´t available for P3Dv4 jet, and P3D has no real weather function like FSX. Is there some good Freeware or an idea what I can do? Is the Twin Otter a modern or a historical aircraft? Where can I find the kmz files? I fly P3D V4. I use Active Sky’s real weather. It works just like AS16 for FSX.

Works pretty well. http://www.plane-pics.de/fsxwx/instructions-p3d.htm I just followed the instructions step by step for install. Happy for now!

LH784 2 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Dear all, indeed, a great challenge, looking forward to it :-) Do I have to strictly adhere to the dates ? Bombay-Calcutta with 3 days during holiday season might be challenging if you are real-life traveling... For clarification: is it historic or modern: - Vickers Armstrong VC10 - DC8 - B727 - DHC6 really is modern ? - C172 I assume the DC6 is historic, correct ? Thanks, Florian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grisu_firefighter 15 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Just a short question about a minor detail of the route. First of all as a child almost 20 years ago) I watch the cartoon version of the original story which is slightly different but as close as possible to the original - only names are adjusted and some minor changes in the story for children understanding. Just this summer ( if you can call it with all that rain here in germany) I watch it again with my children and they were fascinated. So I wanna try to do this challenge because they like it when I am flying on my simulator so I do it for them too. Now back to topic: In Hong Kong Passpartout and Mr. Fog are seperated. Passpartout goes direct to Yokohama while Fogg did an extra tour via Shanghai ( see in wikipedia for details). Which "version" has to be redone? Hong Kong - Shanghai - Yokohama oder Hong Kong - Yokohama? Regards Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILSON TERRAZAS 0 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Sounds like a good idea. It is going to be difficult to match with day life stuff with the routes though, but I think i'll give it a shot. I haven't decide yet which plane I`ll be flying.

bd515 2 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 going to give this a try here is a link to the original trip http://kickasstrips.com/2014/06/around-the-world-in-80-days-phileas-foggs-original-journey/ So my question since I have not participated in one of these before is how do we log our flights ??? Is there some logging software or is it strictly a honor system that we really fly these routes , If not on line Vatsim or Ivao will not have any record of the flights either .

sideout 36 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 haha, I think I used up my screen shot quota on the previous round the world trip . I thought about using a DH Dragon Rapide, but it took forever on the Crete to Cape Town rally. I may well join you, having just got back from RTW2015.

kalizzi 53 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 A very original idea, compliments to the originator. I would very much love to participate and I would like to use the PBY-5A. Thank you for emailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobus 161 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 As the only airfield known to me is an old Airforce base (Al Kibrit, HE34) which is currently having its runways torn out and is now a whirlybird base only, I'm moving my landing point on Suez to Port Said, NE of Cairo.

Tyrion 72 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm tempted to try this challenge... Just not sure whether I'll make it. Not sure about my aircraft either. 737/A320 would be comfortable and easy. But also thinking about something older or smaller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukaRam 2 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Never tried anything like this before. I'm not even sure how to keep my diary properly (some helpful PMs are welcome).

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Aerosoft Share Posted September 28, 2017 Basically the diary is a forum topic (here: http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/841-diaries/) where you introduce yourself and keep us up to date on the progress. If you read some of the diaries I am sure you get the idea very fast. And welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ids10 10 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 sounds like an interesting challenge. I have one question: Is it allowed to use a single seat fighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
