OleAndreasen 88 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hi there everyone. Summer is almost over - and then not.... The weather is getting BETTER and regardless of any weather - Aerosoft has released a fantastic holiday scenery - the Heraklion... And we simply need to check this out. SO if you havent gotten your copy of Heraklion - DO it now, and join me in an online flight from Andras Field to Heraklion - and back, if we can stand to leave the beautiful place... Sunday August 19´th at 21.00 Andras Field time using FSX and Aerosoft´s gamespy server for Andras Field, and with teamspeak to ye-haa to eachother... Any plane will do, but I will fly Aerosoft´s Twin Otter. BE there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Ole you do realise in the Twotter cruising at 160 kts that will take over 6 hours to fly EAFS - LGIR. You would also need to stop roughly half way for fuel too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 AS I said... I´ll be flying the Aerosoft.... something. Ill look at a bit faster aircraft - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Ole may I suggest http://en.shop.aerosoft.com/eshop.php?action=article_detail&s_supplier_aid=11640&s_design=DEFAULT&shopfilter_category=Flight%20Simulation&s_language=english she's a bit heavy on fuel but even with the added stops to refuel you'll get there a lot quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Won´t you join me flying Matt?... You should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'll see what time I get home tomorrow Ole though I dont have LGIR lol. If I can find something with speed and range I may well join and detour to LGKO or LGSR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 If you guys can estimate when you'll be arriving at Andras I will try and stooge around and see you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Matt - its not until next Sunday... not today Ian - It will be difficult - but I´ll try to calculate.... Why don´t you both get a fresh copy of Heraklion and join in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Lol I thought it was today. Next sunday shouldnt be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I suppose I could jump in the F-16 and refuel en-route... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I was also thinking the F16. Trying to work out if it has the legs to get to Bari on a one stopper or if it will need 2 stops? Edit: The F16C has a range of approx: 300 nm with stuff hanging off it. Or 2000 ish nm with ferry tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 My model is the IRIS F-16D. I think there's a ferry-tank option. But I can simulate in-flight refuelling with the options on the panel, so can always go for that. Needs precise flying though. My main probleim is timing. As I have to get up at 06:10 the next day I can't afford to finish late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 But the F-16 is not for leisure flights.... its for getting there fast and that´s just not my way... I will use an Airbus 300/320 or a Boeing 737/777 or something similar.I think one of the Aerosoft Airbuses will be my choice, but I keep thinking about it... Hope that many will join in on this flight. I plan to make a bi-weekly online flight from now on. with different Aerosoft airports as destinations. I hope you guys will be there, and I take suggestions for destinations..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Sounds like a plan to me Ole, bi-weekly visit to aerosoft airports. Though if we do it bi-weekely I will have to find a way of connecting P3D to the Andras Server as I really dont have anything installed in FSX now.

OleAndreasen 88 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 If you can find a way to use P3D connected to Andras Server, then give a big shout, as I will then also use P3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Researching it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobus 161 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hi guys, I'll try to be there, looks fun and was planning to buy LGIR anyway. If i'm there, I'll probably won't make it a late one (monday work, you know...). Since the distance is fairly long, I'll maybe make a flight from Kos or Antalya in something slower. Will keep you updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thanks Toby.. I hope you will join in - from anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If we're going to insist on leisure aircraft (spoilsports!) I'll look at maybe taking the default Lear or CRJ. I don't have any reasonable small-medium airliner add-ons in my hangar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobus 161 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Has anyone by any chance tried the new bae146 from justflight? She seems fitting for the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I have to say that looks good. I like the idea that you get the -300 model for free when it comes out. The forthcoming Quality Wings one could be good too. Trouble is, I wouldn't use it for anything else - none of the VAs I fly for operates the 146/RJ.

Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Peronally Id wait for the QW 146/RJ. The VC on JF's looks poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Hanselman 2 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi guys, it's been a while .. Time to get back in and go online flying at Andras Field for the first time. I will try to be there at 21.00 CET == Andras Field Time? Considering the distance I will probably be flying a Boeing or Airbus jet. A propliner would take between 3.5 and 4 hours, just a little too long when leaving at 2100 (and having to work the next day). Kasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Great Kasper... The more the merrier - I simply cannot start before 21.00 CET/Andras Field time. A question of logistics here with my many chrildren and all.. So that´s unfortunately what I can offer, BUT an airbus/Boeing jet is a good one - and what I think Ill end up with myself, unless I cannot stop myself and buy the Just Flight BAE 146... I think the Just Flight version is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Hanselman 2 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ole, I would wait on the Bae. I know some people having trouble with getting it started. Might be system related, but I would wait on the result. I can keep you posted if you want. Kasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
