UK Island Hopping
Touring from The Shetlands in the North along the coasts to the Channel Islands in the South.
There are more than 1,000 islands, large and small, off the coasts of Great Britain, over 790 of them in Scottish waters (only 99 of them inhabited). We can't visit them all!
The series starts on Unst, the farthest north of the UK's islands, and ends at Jersey, the most southerly of the Channel Islands. The bush trips are based on FSX flight documents created by Gordon Jock Wilkinson, with his permission.
These are primarily sight-seeing flights and there are 21 separate bush trips. The airplane is the DA40-NG Asobo with assistance settings set to easy (some of these can be changed). There are also icons that show the way to get to the waypoints and final destination.
Six languages are included : English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish. The translations were made with google translate and are not linguistically corrected. They are to be taken for what they are.
Flightbooks only in English language are included separately.
Installation :
- unzip the UK Island Hopping.zip file
- there are 2 folders in the unzipped file : 1) the folder "UK Island Hopping Bush trips" with 21 folders in it - put all 21 folders in your community folder - 2) the folder "Flightbooks" with the flightbooks in docx format (this folder may not be put in the community folder).
Thanks to BuffyGC for the BushTripInjector tool and to Alexander Barthel for 'Little Nav Map'.
If you want the possibility to choose the plane, the weather, the time of day and the season (and some other goodies), then you should take a look at the experimental program - MissionChanger - also created by BuffyGC.
