Welcome to the 125th flight event across the GUNNER DOWNUNDER series. This flight will be conducted in Montana, USA , and is again guaranteed to give you more of the unique and challenging flight experience that you have come to expect from Gunpilot’s flight events.
Over the past couple of years it has been fairly apparent that some of the regular flyers in Gunpilot’s flights like to be the first to get to the destination landing locations along each planned leg. For those people, and also for the rest of us, this event will give you an opportunity to pit your flying prowess against everyone else in the event with two legs devoted to racing along a Montana highway from point A to point B. Along the way there will be a couple of obstacles you will need to negotiate while flying just a metre or so above the ribbon of tar you will be flying long. Two separate race segments have been incorporated into the planned flight route, one near the commencement ofbthe flight and the other being a final racentonour end destination.
Of course, as always, there will be challenging landing locations, bridges to fly under, pylons to avoid and a high altitude glide. All this while just enjoying the Montana landscape whizzing by you below your aircraft.
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 GUNPILOT’s Server to be taken there). Extract file into your Community Folder prior to launching your sim for the flight.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Cessna Caravan as all landing and other challenges built into flight are
tailored for this aircraft specifically. If you arrive in another aircraft type you will be ignored…
Turn Damage mode off as you will most likely suffer at least hard
landings if not full on crashes
Bring plenty of Duc Tape for running repairs
Crash Helmets are optional, Prayers are advisable
Embrace “SLEW” as it will be your friend by the end of the flight
Practicing to make Caravan landing approaches at IAS of between 40-50knts max will see you nailing difficult landings with ease and precision.
