Welcome to the 171st flight event with Gunpilot and a whole bunch of other like-minded sim pilots. If you have just discovered these flight events for the first time, welcome aboard and you will be made to feel very much at home with the rest of the pilots on the flight.
The only request we make is that you arrive on the tarmac in the aircraft designated for the flight, and you join in the banter on the supplied COMMS RADIO which can be found in Gunpilot’s Discord server (click on this link to take you directly to Gunpilot’s server GUNPILOT’s Server ).
This week we put on our parkas, beanies and ski gloves for an action packed adventure in Austria. On this flight we will be literally “hitting the slopes” in our Cessna Caravan, landing on challenging ski slopes that are dotted along our route.
Some of the slopes will be groomed to perfection for you to land on:
While others will present very challenging landing tasks that will need your absolute attention if you are going to nail them. And watch out for moguls, they will ruin your day really fast!!!
The weather forecast, while not terrific, will not be too daunting. You can expect the occasional snow flurries and patches of cloud to fly thru on your way around this event that will take us around the normal 3 hours to complete.
*Again, a packaged up WEATHER file has been developed and included along with the flight plan, negating any need for anyone to dial in weather settings, as well as ensuring that all pilots are experiencing exactly the same weather conditions. The Weather Preset file is located in #gunpilots-events (click Discord
to be taken there). Extract file into your Community Folder prior to launching your sim for the flight.
