Swiss training the way Martyn expects it

Recommended Posts

Once again I have to apologize that I confused Martyn with my prevoius post: 

So I tried to meet his valued expectations better by selecting a plane I don´t really know yet, in a region I do know. Taking the PC-21 for a spin from Launceston...

... to Grindelwald (did I call this post "Swiss training"?). I have never been there in real life, so I can´t exactly say where the village is on these screenies... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grindelwald,_Tasmania .

Heading south I had to notice some bushfires at Blackwood ("Schwarzwald"?) Creek...

... before turning around Interlaken. Good location to meet the headline again.

Over Valleyfield we prove that this is a swiss bird...

... before getting down safely in Launceston again.

I have to fly this bird totally manual, as I have no clue yet how to use its functions. Seem I really need more "Swiss training".

Fantastic set Gerold.  Is there any way you could get the coordinates of that bush fire?  I'm stunned and amazed Orbx even included such a cool detail!  Any your shots are amazing , hope you learn that bird.

I am not sure if these details were added by Orbx or by OZx (I have the full package installed), but I am sure the fire is just slightly west of S41.43° E146.57° ;)

I love the shots, but especially the one with the brush fires.  Something you see all too often in real life these days.  Who says we don't have global warming?

I think there is an 70-year-old owner of a construction- and lawsuit company who says that. Always difficult to follow complicated relations when you are used to solve problems by putting stone on stone.

Those shots are "on fire" so to speak! ^_^

You seem to know how I sweated when trying to navigate or land this plane :D.

Now there was me expecting more Swiss 773 shots Gerold!:lol::lol::lol:

No, wonderful series of shots from the beautiful Tasmania with an interesting dialogue as usual.

Not a great sign to see those bush fires so late in the season, maybe you should go back in your CL215 and give them a helping hand.

Whatever I do I confuse you. Maybe I have to resign and quit trying these posts :D!

 

In the moment I read your words about expecting me to fly a swiss plane in Tasmania, it was clear to me I had to combine these 2 destinations. And I meant not Grindelwald in Berne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grindelwald or Interlaken in the same Kanton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlaken . I wonder if there are more "swiss" places in Tassie?

 

Unfortunately my hangar does not give me a CL215 or other fire fighting equipment. I need the help of other simmers to keep the Island safe, see the GPS coordinates above!

Oh so sorry, John. I was "standing on the line" as the german saying goes. :rolleyes:
