Free Swiss mountain mission available
EHM-1465 Dominic:
For those who like to test themselves with VFR flights in challenging terrain, you might want to check out a new Mission available from THIS LINK. It's the first of three linked missions in the beautiful Swiss Alps, the first one is free (to get your interest I guess) then the other two are a very reasonable $1.99 each! I've just tested the first part of the first mission and it's really nicely done with good voice acting and lovely supporting documentation. The flight is from Geneva to Sion which is also a EuroHarmony Class 1 route so although the mission is designed for the C172, you could also do it in a Class 1 plane and get credit for the flight time ;)
Have fun :)
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Nice find, Dominic!
Downloaded the free first part a minute ago, and seriously considering purchasing the other two. :)
Did you try changing to an EHM Class1 plane? I'm not sure if that is possible inside a mission, or even if the mission checks for a predefined airplane.
Flying through the Alps is great anyway :) :)
Looking forward to this mission already.

And from me Dominic,
Knowing Switzerland quite well and having Zurich as a Hub I can just not wait to start up and "fly the mountains".

Hi E-J,
You're quite right, you can't change the aircraft from within this Mission :-[
I had assumed you could for all Missions as I remember reading that if you change plane you won't get the Mission Reward and I also have another set of payware Missions which allow you to change planes. Oops!
I wonder whether it's something you can do by hand editing the Mission files, like you used to be able to with Preset flights etc in FS2004?
But in any case, as you say, it's a great area to fly, whatever the plane ;)
@ Dirk,
I'm sure you'll enjoy the flight with your local knowledge too :)
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
...
So maybe it's time to throw in an EHM C172SP trainer? ;D
...
Couldn't find a hint in the mission xml file, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to edit the mission (using the appropriate software) to have the mission accept either a plane swap, or a different plane if you already know which one you'd like.
