Adventure Paks

Bill,

Per the scenario:

<strong>Scenario: In Part-II of this third adventure we seek out the impact sites of the two ill-fated airliners. Take off from Grand Canyon National Park Airport (KGCN) and follow the GCN VOR radial 34 outbound about 20 miles to Temple Butte where the crippled TWA plane crashed to the ground. From there fly easterly in valley to the Colorado River, then veer left (north) and follow the Colorado River to where the Little Colorado River branches off to the right. Stay with the main Colorado River a bit farther north to Char Butte where the United Plane fell to earth. Finally, return to KGCN to complete this last part of AP6.

</strong>The crash locations are in the valley by the water, and like the mountain scene of the previous AP, an area was carved out to allow for landing your bush aircraft at the various crash scenes. These are the photos in my gallery of those sites. If you absolutely cannot find the sites on your own, you can probably go to my gallery album and find these pics at actual size and read the geo coordinates from them to find the exact locations.

Hello Bill,

I just wanted to add a word of encouragement for your efforts to find those difficult sites in the Adventure Packs. I'm sorry that this has turned into such a difficult endeavor, but you're not alone. I just completed the latest AP 10 again after doing the multi-player version some time ago. I delay flying my 'official' AP until others have flown and posted their pics of the adventure so that it might be a new discovery for our pilots, and after the related multi-player flight for that AP so that my computer resources can be devoted to the recording of the video without the added burden of SPAACARs/pirep and tracking of the flight which takes additional computer processing that might otherwise be used for smooth video production.

Anyway, after the two 2.5 hour AP10 flights that were each extended by about an hour as I searched for the victims awaiting rescue, and given the fact that I also knew the exact coordinates of the rescue scenes, it took considerable effort to find them.

I've come to the conclusion that I must start adding FSX/P3d flight plans so that pilots can find these flights and make them an enjoyable experience without the frustration of trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Sorry about any difficulties that this might have caused you, and I'll try to add some additional flight plans to these scenarios to help future SPA adventurers hit the mark on their first try.

I know Larry (airhogg) Chew has developed a number of flight plans for these adventures, so I'll start by contacting him for them so that I might include them with those adventures that are lacking them - especially those that are really hard to find. Some of them are not too difficult based on distance and surrounding landmarks, but I'll happily consider requests for flight plan assistance for those 'hard to find' targets.

Thanks for taking the time to install and enjoy these true-to-life adventure packs, recreated for SPA pilots to revisit history through the enhanced perspective of flight simulation.

John
