FLIGHT DETAILS

For Fly-In Friday this week, we’re doing some BC flying: that is a back country bush flight to Bella Coola in beautiful British Columbia!

Alongside Community Manager SeedyL and guest co-host SimFlightPro, we will also have Got Friends joining us to give a preview of their upcoming Taylorcraft BC-12D and showcase the exciting features that make the plane an ideal choice for backcountry adventures!

Suggested Marketplace Add-on: Flying is more fun with an animal companion joining you in the cockpit, so consider purchasing Man’s Best Friend: Deluxe by Got Friends from the in-sim Marketplace to enhance this week’s Fly-In. Please note that purchasing this product is entirely optional and is not required to participate in the group flight.

MSFS (2020) and MSFS 2024 Pilots on PC can download the .pln file here:

Only thing I found for Airports is this enhancement to elevation data for CZST:

Unfortunately there are not many devs who have delved into the B.C. back country. While Asobo have provided Stewart and Bella Coola as hand crafted airports, Terrace (CYXT) has not been done by anyone, ever…. However, you could always detour about 65-ish miles to the west and do a touch and go at Prince Rupert (CYPR), a lovely isolated airport on an island which can only be accessed by a frerry from the mainland…

I took over 50 photos … but these one are the best ones :slight_smile:

Note: for some reason it allows me to upload up to 15 photos, while it uploads just 10 of them :frowning:

I crashed a lot this week due to pilot error… but the scenery was amazing. Thank you, everyone.
