Let's fly the Latecoere 631 around the world.

After about two years of flying with MSFS and developing in MSFS (blender (3D modeling), xml gauges and Javascript (only for private use), I wanted to see if I could fly the Latecoere around the world by adding VOR beacons, sea plane bases and addon items in the in-game menu. I found a friend who is prepared to fly with me and sofar we have flown 10 legs of about 2.5 to 3 hours at a rate of one leg per week.

The idea is to fly low (500 meters) and not so fast (300 km/hr) in a classical manner. We fly on compass heading and VOR's. And we try to create Standard Operating Procedures which give a classic feeling but which also take the characteristics into account of the Latecoere as it is in MSFS.

After 10 flights I think the whole set-up has come to a point where I think we can do it. The last flights were smooth, without much dificulties, and very enjoyable.

Because in the past I liked to write travelogs of flightsim rallies, I thought it might be a good idea to start writing about this round the world adventure of ours in this blog. Maybe other flightsimmers are interested.

I have to find out what the difference is between a blog and posting messages, but I will learn as we go.
