FLIGHT DETAILS

It’s another flight to a Northern locale again this week! After flying over Norway last time, for this Fly-In we’re off to the other side of the Atlantic to visit Yukon, one of Canada’s :canada: three territories. Will MSFS 2024 pilots see aurora borealis again?

Though sparsely populated today with a density of only 0.1 persons per square kilometer, Yukon is rich in minerals and other natural resources. The discovery of gold in 1896 led to an estimated 100,000 prospectors arriving from places such as Seattle and San Francisco in search of fortune during what became known as the Klondike Gold Rush. The biggest boom town of the gold rush, Dawson City, will be our full-stop destination during this flight.

For the best experience, MSFS (2020) pilots should download the free World Update XI: Canada from the in-sim Marketplace.

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

I hear that engine screaming at you CALM DOWN MATE hehehe. Bring the RPM during the climb back at 2600 and during cruise 2300 rpm. Eco it has a perfect rpm of 2150. Lean the mixture back too using the lean function. Retrack it till the power will start dropping. That highest number -20 you push the lever back at and you will hear a engine snoring with godlike sounds :wink:

So jealous. I couldn’t get the aurora to show.

So many generic aircraft/character models, would have to set it to at least high, but VR is rough already.
