VH-KDK Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I tried the other night to load a flight plan on P3DV2.4 from SAEZ to FACT but no success. Could not drag the flight path and make my own waypoints. Messed around for about 20 minutes tonight, tried this and that and then decided to load the flight on high level airways. Put the cursor on the flight path at SAEZ and voila, now I can adjust the departure and arrival paths to suit myself. I have chosen to fly a Cathay Pacific 744 From Buenos Aires to Hong Kong via Cape Town. 1. Leaving from Rwy 35 late afternoon and turning east. 2. In the area of Banfield, which I have actually heard of because of it's football team. 3. Crossing the coast near Punta Indio. 4. Now at FL360 and simulation rate set to 8X. 5. 6. The last light, the rest of the flight will be in darkness. 7. Way past 3am ant starting to descend towards Cape Town. 8. 7miles out, the magenta diamonds where they should be and all going swimmingly well. 9. Crossing the coast at Mitchell's Plain. 10. On finals at a different Mandalay. 11. Almost there, but somehow I flicked the u/c switch and had to quickly drop the wheels again. 12. Just made it and a very smooth landing. Really enjoyed this, although I cannot remember a flight I didn't enjoy apart from when there is an app crash or similar. Hope you enjoy looking.

RJ Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 So this is the first leg of your journey. Waiting for the final one to HK. We all enjoy our flights because we are in command. In real life a 9h flight is really boring if you are a passenger and, maybe, a pilot. In FS you can do a lot of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee H Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Very nice and pleased to see another part of the world from the usual spots that get posted. A trick with the route planning in P3D V3, and it might apply to 2.4, is to drag the route line from a point very near a way point. Then it will drag. If you grab it out a ways from the way point it is "dead". Took me ages to figure that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see and hear fewer and fewer of these great planes on my part of the world. On 29/01/2016 at 11:15 PM, RJ said: So this is the first leg of your journey. Waiting for the final one to HK.
