NB: as from update 7 budsh trips like this are no longer shown in MSFS under Activities-Bush trips but under Activities- custom content. Still stored in community folder.
1.0.3 fixed error in zip file
Fly the Loire from source to sea.
To facilitate choice, the zipfile contains two distinct trips:
1.LFHO to LFOZ : from source to Orléans. This trip follows the river. POI are towns or châteaux ( not modelled) along the river.
2.LFOZ to LFRE: from Orléans to coast. This trip generally follows the river but deviates to visit interesting châteaux a bit further away, which are nicely modelled if you download the megapack below..
Unzip to your community folder.
I highly recommend downloading megapack French castles by Legofun1974 at:
https://flightsim.to/file/1568/chenonceau-castle-france .Or type megapack in the search box and it will appear on the list.
I also recommend you download the megapack French airports by alphaBICEPS ( and its dependencies) at:
https://flightsim.to/file/8760/megapack-french-airports-scenery-lights improvements. Same search as above.
The flightplans ( LNMPLN, made on LittleNavmap) for this bushtrip can be downloaded separately on flightsim.to; simply type fly the Loire in the search box et voila!
Th trips are designed to be flown with the TBM930. A fast and easy to fly airplane. I recommend you keep your airspeed at max 200 kts, otherwise you will miss many sights. After all, these are vfr trips.
The airplane is started up and sits on the runway at the start of the trips.
For those new to this plane please note:
1. turn up panel lighting ( on overhead panel)
2. parking brake knob is under the yoke.
3.Do NOT fly full throttle; you will overheat the turbine. The ITT gauge( Insterstage Turbine Temperature) will show a warning.
I suggest you download workingtitle-g3000. However, do NOT combine with TBM930 improvement mod
I recommend flying with vfrmap on a separate screen. vfrmap is a freeware plugin, available on the inernet. It shows postiion on detailed map plus relevant flight parameters. This allows closing the vfrmap of msfs and declutter your screen. If you have one screen only, fly msfs windowed ( in settings graphics) and have vfrmap on the side. Or use a tablet and the Duet app to couple to your pc
If yoiu have downloaded the flightplan, flying wiht LittleNavmpa to the side is even easier..
Hello Bartnl46,
First, thanks for creating such a great flyingtour, two actually...
This evening I tried to fly it. It appeared however, it was far too difficult for me, to fly in the 'hard' mode and to find where I am without the plane visible in the VFRmap of MSFS itself.
Would you be willing to create a version, that shows your plane in the MSFS VFR map and with freedom to use ones own difficultysettings? If it is possible, ofcourse.
Otherwise a seperate *.pln file with the route would already be great to.
Thanks and greetings
