EHM-0654 Murray:
Those of you that keep abreast of the forum will know that I recently modified the Tour of the Danube page to a new format I want to see used exclusively throughout the DB, namely always providing the FS(X, in this case) GPS direct altitude, heading and distance for all flights within the VA. To that end, see below ;)

The same caveat I used on the TotD page stands for this event: just because the GPS-Direct data has been provided doesn't mean you want to use it. You'll miss out on so much by just hopping from A-to-B. Use Andrei's VFR routing for a far more interesting and instructive flight experience, and use the GPS-direct data just to ensure you're where you think you are.
I've also attached "source" files (in ODS and XLS formats) and a PDF as well. Share and enjoy...
EHM-0654 Murray:
Regarding the FS repaint, we're still not quite there in terms of an installer, but if any of you want to practice just download the appropriate wheeled DHC-6 from [ Premier Aircraft Designs ] and get practicing.
Trust me, though, it's like flying a helicopter on rails. Almost as forgiving as the DC-3, and a whole lot easier to take-off in - none of that tail-dragger forward pressure to get the tail up followed by light back pressure to get airborne.
EHM-2589 David:
Thanks Murray, but I'll waiting the EHM version :)

Plus, if you if you take the DCT route on leg one, you are bound to get shot out of the air over White Sands Missile range. Those guys over there use drones the size of these Otters to do live missile tests on (believe me, I've seen it IRL). Also on the west bank, there is a wildlife preserve that you are not supposed to fly over...

So true!
see http://forum.ivao.aero/index.php/topic,106087.0.html for some stunts I pulled some 1 1/2 year ago with the Twotter.
I'll see if I can dig up my base (white) paint for that (Aerosoft) one, and copy - paste the EHM paint on as well as that goes (once it is published). I just hope it still sits on my old computer, 'cause I could not find it on the new one...

Very impressive EJ, very very nice pictures and you're the men of the DHC-6. :o
