Michael Copp Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Next Saturday, I'm planning a real world flight from Debert, Nova Scotia over to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to attend a "Rust Remover" seminar (Clubs host these every spring across Canada - they help pilots get back into a flying state of mind after our long winter!). Here's a link to the flight plan: http://skyvector.com/?ll=45.87369236628738,-63.285095207574805&chart=301&zoom=4&plan=A.CY.CCQ3:A.CY.CYYG As is my usual practice, I decided to do a simulated version of the flight over to the Island and back in Prepar3d (just to warm me up for the real thing). To have a little bit of fun, I captured some screen shots during my flight, and put them together like a comic book - I hope you like them! Keeping my fingers crossed for fair weather on the 28th...

Stillwater Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Fantastic way of presenting your training. Keep my fingers crossed for you getting the expected weather! PS: Is that pure FTX Global in Charlottetown? Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Very unique post that I really enjoyed , hopefully the snow is finally starting to melt up your way . :smile: Cheers Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Copp Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 PS: Is that pure FTX Global in Charlottetown? Looks great. Hi Gerold, It's actually an airport done by a third-party developer (they've created a number of nicely detailed airports for the Atlantic Canada area - perhaps if Orbx ever decides to do a "New England and the Maritimes" region, they could partner up!)

VH-KDK Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I like this style of post, reminds me of the comics I used to read many years ago. Great story and shots. Hope you enjoy your flight and the rust is painlessly removed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Copp Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hope you enjoy your flight and the rust is painlessly removed! Hopefully I don't have too much rust to be removed this year - I've tried to do some real-world flights at least once or twice a month through the winter (but it's been tough at times; we've had an awful lot of snow arrive since Christmas): It's always a good rule of thumb to attend these seminars though - they're open to everyone, they're free, and you always learn something new!

Sammy H Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Those first few pics look like something from a comic book the way they were scripted, awesome shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Pugwash Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Excellent shots, is the paint and reg the same on the sim Piper as your real one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Copp Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Is the paint and reg the same on the sim Piper as your real one? It is: The people from ScanSim offered to do a WOJ livery for the new version of their PA140 FSX/P3D aircraft model, and it was just to cool a thing to pass up! BTW, their model is great both visual and flight dynamics wise, and very reasonably priced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
