FLIGHT DETAILS

This week’s flight plan comes courtesy of Twitch streamer @CaptArash, an Iranian-born Canadian. We start by flying along the coastline of the Caspian Sea before turning south through the Alborz mountain range before arriving at Iran’s capital city of Tehran.

Pilots on the PC platform can download the .pln file for this flight here:

For Xbox pilots, I will spend the first few minutes of the stream quickly explaining how you can create your own flight plan using the World Map. Alternatively, you can simply fly along with the group without using a pre-defined flight plan.

AIRCRAFT

Recommended aircraft: Cirrus SR22, Beechcraft Bonanza, Diamond DA62, or similar.

We will be starting at OINR. Please load your aircraft 10 minutes prior to take off and taxi over to the taxiway or parking.

MULTIPLAYER SETTINGS

Please adhere to the following settings so you can see everyone / be seen by everyone.

Variable Setting
Server North Europe
Multiplayer All Players
Live traffic As preferred
Weather Few Clouds
Time of Day Day time

It is advised in this flight to turn off both aircraft collisions and terrain collisions. If you do crash, you can use “slew” mode to join the pack. If the pack will be too scattered before the first stop, we will use slew on a defined point to regroup.

COMMUNICATION

To communicate with others, a voice channel on the "Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Discord” at https://discord.gg/msfs will be available to join.

LET’S FLY

This is meant to be a fun and informal flight. Everybody is welcome, no matter the amount of experience.

I did a hike near Damavand peak many years ago when I lived in Tehran where I grew up. Beautiful sceneries.

It was a great flight, I decided to fly through the valley at treetop level this time, definitely a cool experience.

Also thanks for all the information about Iran, and specifically the places we visited.

I’m a bit ashamed of admitting that I didn’t know much about Iran before watching the stream, I’ll definitely fly there in the future :smiley:
