Maybe next time together by IVAO in the next or other legs, by the way
--- Quote ---p.s. 2: I choose the A310 in the IVAO-flightplan, because there isn't a EHM-MTL for the A318-Elite!

Leg 2 - To New Orleans

Details
Leg 2 of the Event takes us from Nassau to New Orleans Lakefront Airport (KNEW). New Orleans is a key location in the 1973 Bond film "Live and Let Die" which was Roger Moore's first outing as Bond. The city's well known French Quarter stars in the opening sequence when a British agent is killed during a funeral procession - this agent is one of three who are murdered in quick succession as part of the villain Kananga's plan to market free heroin through his 'Fillet of Soul' restaurants in order to corner the drugs trade. Bond ends up being captured in New Orleans by Kananga and is taken away to be eaten by crocodiles...

Details
Lakefront Airport used to be the main airport for the city and is conveniently located only 4nm northeast of the city centre. The terminal building is a fine example of Art Deco design and has been fully renovated since it was damaged during the Hurrican Katrina disaster in 2005. It has three runways with the longest being 18R/36L at 6867 feet. The airport now serves local GA traffic and is also popular with small bizjets.

I have not been able to find any freeware addon sceneries for KNEW itself but there is one to add more highrise buildings to the city itself which you'll see on approach:-

New Orleans city - FS2004 file but also works fine in FSX.

There is a payware New Orleans scenery by Aerosoft for FSX.

Have fun ;)

Leg 3 - to San Francisco

Details
Our next leg takes us west to one of California's best known cities - San Francisco. 'San Fran' is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, ranking 35th out of the 100 most visited cities worldwide, and is renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, and Chinatown. The city is also a principal banking and finance center, and the home to more than 30 international financial institutions.

Details
The city features heavily in the James Bond film "A View to a Kill" - the villain, Max Zorin, plans to artificially create an earthquake that will flood Silicon Valley and thereby create a monopoly in the supply of microchips! You should see some of the local landmarks on your flight in to KSFO such as the Golden Gate bridge and the Transamerica Pyramid.

KSFO itself is located 13 miles south of the downtown area and has four main runways, the longest being 11,870 feet long so you don't need to worry too much about your landing weight ;)

Details
You can find numerous freeware FS2004 sceneries HERE and FSX sceneries HERE. There are also a stack of payware sceneries available, search on San Francisco at www.simmarket.com if you can't find them :)

Enjoy the leg and watch out for airships!!

Leg 4 - to Las Vegas

Details
Leg 4 takes us from the West Coast of California to the deserts of Nevada and Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the western world! This city was heavily featured in "Diamonds Are Forever", Sean Connery's last outing in the Eon series of films. Early Bond arch-villain Ernst Blofeld plans to gain global nuclear supremacy by using a super laser to destroy the main nuclear powers' own weapons! The laser uses masses of diamonds which Blofeld's baddies are smuggling into the USA - the villainous HQ is in a Las Vegas casino where Blofeld is posing as a reclusive millionaire. Sounds complicated, doesn't it?

Details
Las Vegas itself is a well known tourist destination which bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its consolidated casino–hotels and associated entertainment. Established in 1905, Las Vegas was incorporated as a city in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, Las Vegas was the most populous American city founded in that century. The city's tolerance for various forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and this image has made Las Vegas a popular setting for films and television programs.

Details
McCarran International Airport (KLAS) is the city's airport, situated 5 miles south of the CBD and within sight of the many neon attractions. It has 4 main runways with the longest being 14,510 feet long. You can find freeware FS9 sceneries HERE and FSX onesHERE.

There are various payware sceneries available by Aerosoft and PC Aviator.
