1926 - East Friesland Islands

File Description:
Set in 1926, this compact flight sees you flying a Junkers W-33b on your twice-weekly "milk-and-bread" run from Emden and through the islands, including Heligoland (or "Helgoland") before terminating at Borkum, the western-most island in the German Frisian islands. Your flightplan takes you in an anti-clockwise direction and you terminate at Borkum. There is no schedule...if you feel like having a chat with the locals en-route, feel free to do so, just so long as you get to Borkum to pick up the mail before the Post Office closes. :) Additional scenery files are required :- ostfr40.zip and helgol09.zip. Also the Junkers Ju-W33b aeroplane by Hauke Keitel and Rolf-Uwe Hochmuth:- juw33fs9.zip.

Imperial Airways - Genoa to Alexandria - 1931

File Description:
In 1931 Imperial Airways operated a revised timetable for their flying boat service between Genoa and Alexandria. The route was changed and instead of taking four days the journey-time was cut in half. After departing Genoa in the morning of the first day, the aircraft made stops at Naples and Corfu before arriving in Athens for an overnight stay. The next morning the machine (now a Short S.17 Kent or “Scipio” class) departed Athens after breakfast and only made one stop en-route Alexandra, and that was at Crete. Passengers arrived in Alexandria in the afternoon of the second day, a huge cut in time compared to the 1929 timetable. This flight represents the inaugural service of 16th. May 1931 and uses Jens Kristensen's Short S.17 "Scipio" flying boat.

Imperial Airways - Cairo to Cape Town - South Africa Service, 1932

File Description:
Our journey commences in May 1932 at Embaba airport (Cairo) and the Flight Simulator flight-plan shows the route all the way to Cape Town. You will, of course, pause for refuelling and overnight stops during this 7-day epic from the top of Africa to the very southern tip of the continent. Imperial Airways operated the Handley Page HP42 between Cairo and Nairobi and the Armstrong Whitworth AW15 "Atalanta" for the second half of the journey. The flight has been saved with the Flight Simulator 2004 default Cessna 172 to enable a trouble-free commencement.

Ansett Flying Boat Services - Rose Bay to Lord Howe Island - 1969

File Description:
A Flight created for Flight Simulator 2004 and which utilises the Short Sandringham created by Jens Kristensen, this time in the 1970's livery of Ansett Flying Boat Services. A special set of textures has been created specifically for the Ansett version and is included with this package, together with instructions on its simple installation. Ansett Flying Boat Services ran scheduled flights between Rose Bay and Lord Howe Island, a very popular tourist destination, particularly with honeymooners. These flights usually departed Rose Bay on a Sunday, with the trip taking about two-and-a-half hours. This allowed for new holiday-makers to arrive at their destination with a complete week ahead of them and, at the same time, for returning passengers to arrive back in Sydney on Sunday evening, ready for work the next day! Installation instructions are included.
