Jack Sawyer Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 P3Dv4.1 - Global, Vector, NCA, NA L/C, Orbx's airports. KEKA to KFOT, Chase Plane, AS4, all sliders totally maxed out for more OF2 details. And loving it. Oh, and a blue plane for @VH-KDK and @BradB Hit lots of clouds and weather was less than delightful at Fortuna but loved every minute of it. MOO! Special thanks to Roger, @Wakashi for showing me how to use FltPlan Go on my iPad, this is a wonderful little free app! And finally, I know it's goofy but I put little stickies on my real Jeppesen maps so I can get a big picture to see where I want to go next.

mikewies Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Great selection of shots Jack, it tells a compelling story of the flight beginning to end. Appreciate the inclusion of your Jeppesen maps also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Excellent Jack! Great variety of shots and an enjoyable flight. I like the way the weather changed during your flight. Neat idea with the maps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real nice shots Jack! Glad you’re enjoying the app also! I like it because you can do so much before starting up the sim and flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul, I did too but it was a difficult landing, no ILS so it was dive and drive while the GTN was screaming at me to Pull Up! 49 minutes ago, Wakashi said: Real nice shots Jack!

Thanks Roger, I am but please elaborate how you do a lot with it before starting the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious of couse is the plan, you can check wind at all flight levels, terrain, metars for departing and arrival airports, procedures w/sid's & stars, jet or victor airways, frequencies, use it to overlay the procedures on the map and know what to expect when you leave or arrive, etc, you get the picture, plan the flight, take the notes, start the sim, make the connections to the app and flyl Like they say: (If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there), but if you plan just a little it makes for more enjoyable flight. Believe me I don't use the app everytime but I do use it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just discovered how to make a plan, I like that too. I can't believe this is free and works so well with P3D. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Nice fog you encountered from Rohnerville onwards, seems to be true NorCal autumn weather... Great to see you enhance your simulation with real Jeppesen charts, that looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the maps still have usefulness to them. Very few of the VOR or NDB freq's have changed and it's nice to hang it on the wall and get a good idea of the distance between airports. Imagine that's all they had not too many years ago. Now i's all GPS and iPads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
