Hopping Round the World Adventure - Pack 16

File Description:
The first leg of this pack is quite interesting. While it should take a short time to complete the heavy winds aloft really make your 777 work for every mile and stretch out the duration of the flight. Run your engines to the max as you burn as much fuel as you wish since you're not paying for it. Introduced in this pack is the MelJet 777ER and Harald Nehring Airbus 310. Pay attention to your takeoffs and landings. Some runways seem rather short for the heavies. Be careful! By the time you are done you should be in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Hopping Round the World Adventure - Pack 17

File Description:
Experience Cajun country as you pilot for the first time the Cessna Citation II. This pack also features more Cessna with the likes of the 182s as well as the Amphibian. Yes, another first in the HRW Adventure is tackling some water landings. Not fair! That looks like a puddle more than a small body of water. Don't overshoot! If you know how to ground hover flying the Bell Helicopter should be a breeze. It's a short 18-mile hop to New Orleans before heading to KMGM. In the next pack, our map shows us that we make our last 2 stops in Florida before zig-zagging up the coast. Cool, we are also going to fly the Bermuda Triangle using a military jet. Mach anyone? Our flying time will zoom by in the upcoming pack. Up for a good mystery in Bermuda?

Project Airbus A320 starts us off with our final 2 Florida stops in Tallahassee and Jacksonville.

The British Eurofighter takes us into the Bermuda triangle. Look out for any unusual activities! The GR4 brings us back to the United States with an interesting landing at KNKT. What an unusual layout of the runways. Wrapping things up is the British Aerospace 146 as we hop into Raleigh-Durham Intl.

Hopping Round the World Adventure - Pack 19

File Description:
No better way to pushback from the gate in Raleigh-Durham than with the SGA MD83 using the thrust reverser. Such an authentic feel to it! Also making the rounds is the Piper J-3 Cub for a short stroll. There is no missing the noisy SGA Boeing 737-200 as you experience your first snow shower while heading to Indiana International Airport. Nice job Microsoft on the realistic snow bounderies. Look for em while in flight. Keep on your toes as things could get hairy if you have a lapse in judgement. This was a very fun pack for me and I know you will enjoy it too! Next up is Canada and back to the USA to hop around the East Coast and New England.

Hopping Round the World Adventure - Pack 2

File Description:
So far, you have survived Hopping Round the World Adventure Pack 1. Landing the second leg was quite an eye opener about what is in store in this adventure. Some airports seem to disappear right before your eyes while landing. Put that IFR to use or you're done for. Mountains and hilltops to close for comfort? As your adventure continues over the Brazilian landscape you end up in the Amazon. Handle that Boeing 747-400 Cargo as you complete the last leg. More real-world weather and sim surprises for sure. Hotel, Roger, Whiskey. Cleared for takeoff!

Hopping Round The World Adventure - Pack 20

File Description:
My most difficult pack yet! I almost lost my bird on more than one ocassion. This HRW Adventure pack is how real-world pilots get into trouble. You might lose your plane during some critical phases of flight. Don't wreck your friend's LearJet. Things to ponder: Haven't used your de-icer yet in FS2004-you will unless you want ice buildup. Since AI pilots are bold enough to take off and land during these conditions I did the same. Everything starts out OK before it all goes bad quickly. You will run into a severe winter storm and unforgiving crosswinds and heavy winds for that matter. There is so much going on in this pack you will have little time to enjoy seeing Niagra Falls and the Statue of Liberty. Look for both once you take off. The only newbie in this pack is the iFDG 767. If this is how unforgiving winter is there is no telling what's in store once we head up next to Canada again, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Greenland and then onto Iceland. Well if you are still in one piece come join me. 207 takeoffs/landings and 32,970 miles flown so far.

Hopping Round The World Adventure - Pack 21

File Description:
Taking off from Martha's Vineyard you head to Boston. Once you prepare to leave Boston for Manchester, NH you see the downtown silhouette in the night sky. Soon you discover its lights out while preparing to land. Can you land in zero visibility? We run into another winter storm bringing heavy snow and rain. You can expect to see another winner of a sunset and sunrise. We are making good progress but your IFR skills will be put to good use for sure. The Learjet versatility for short and long runways keeps it as a favorite up to this point.

Hopping Round The World Adventure - Pack 22

File Description:
Who said anything about AI planes doing touch and go in FS2004. Cool effect Microsoft! The only newbie to this pack is the MelJet Boeing 747F. The Northern Lights also known as the Aurora Borealis dances across the sky for your pleasure. Hope you find time to enjoy the light show and howl at the full moon also. CFIT – Controlled Flight Into Terrain. This is how real-world pilots meet their end. Don’t let it happen to you. At this time of year the sun hardly makes it past the horizon any time of day. Another zero visibility landing with an unusual request from ATC. Who said IFR was easy? Not me!!

Hopping Round the World Adventure - Pack 23

File Description:
This pack may seem like you are all alone most of the time up there wild yonder of Canada, Greenland and Iceland. The radio silence can be deafening! The Learjet’s position automatically tops off your tanks prior to departing the second leg. Hope you enjoy night flying cause the sun hardly makes it past the horizon. You will witness the most surprising sunrise yet. Is the sun misplaced in FS2004? Once you leave Sondestrom airport you will enjoy your next landing. With heavy rain at departure from BIPA you have an interesting landing at BIIS in Iceland. Did you abort your landing?
