the 200nm will take me 2 hours, so I'll be starting early: close to 1900Z, just to be sure. VFR, of course, at no more than 10.000ft if possible to navigate between the mountains at that altitude ...
Maybe I'll do some sight-seeing around Lago Titicaca too :)

Not sure yet about the aircraft and departure, but option 2 seems the most tempting at this time. (This mostly depends on what I can get airbone - and land - in X-Plane which I had to reinstall).

I always use, especially during VFR flights, to switch between the cockpit "normal" view (for flying) and external view (for visual navigation and sightseeing). While doing so woth XP-9, "something" suddenly happened to the view system because since that moment, terrain in cockpit view was turned with 45 degrees (so when I looked "forward", I was actually seeing the terrain on my right).
I could not find any command to reset the view, and was of course unable to land the plane this way - test aborted. Now am I missing anything? Was there any way to restore things to their normal behaviour?
Actually his is the worst part about X-Plane: despite some obvious advantages, whenever I try to use it I feel like an absolute beginner, and aware that many things can happen that will prevent me for completing a flight.
Some extra details if anyone can help: the "something" happened when I switched from "circle" view to "forward" view. After the view actually changed, I could see the terrain "scroll" in front of me. Afterwards, I tried several other views, but every time I came back to "forward", it was still broken.
Also, not sure whether this matters, but I was flying the B1900D.
Thanks for any help.

even worse: switch to XP10, and you'll go through the learning curve again, because key assignments are different all over again.
From the heart: in XO9, W puts you in forward view in the cockpit. Q, and E turn your "head"left and right respectively in 45 degree increments. S moves down a step until step 2. Step 3 down ("S"), will get you back looking upright again. A is for outside view, so your workflow would require a lot of switching between W and A, for switching in and out the cockpit, Q and E for looking left/right, and an occasional S-S-S, to scan all instruments and switches.
P.S. I found out the hard way that key assignments are different between XP9 and XP10 when I flew XP9 for a change during the Tropical Trader's Event (to actually use that scenery I made ;)). When I tried to take a screenshot, I ejected (out of a DC-3 ::)) and had to start over...

Log in to the site, go to your Dispatch page, select Timetable, search for destination SPQU, and you'll see the three flights.
The shortest one (from La Paz) is for class 1 to 3 airplanes, the middle one for class 4 through 6 airplanes, and the longest one for class 7 airplanes.
Click on the flight you'd like to do, mark the bullet at the end of that flight to select it, choose an aircraft of your choice from the drop-down box, and press "assign"
You could actually assign all three flights, if you want to do an all day event ;)

See
http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/forum/index.php/topic,7244.0.html (http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/forum/index.php/topic,7244.0.html)
For details on how to install.
Having said that, my current internet connection, or better: lack thereof, prevents me from flying online this evening. Will do the flight offline, but that means I don't get to meet up with you guys :(
