Big Boat AI Flightplans?

[railrunner130]

Does anyone know of any AI flightplans for Pan Am Clippers, Short Empires or the Sunderlands? Or possibly the flight schedules to make such a flightplan possible?

Might want to check out this site as a starting point.....

Did a search of both AvSim and Flight Sim for both FS9 & FSX and came up with nothing.

Now, I'm wading in water where I seldom swim, but couldn't you find an existing flight plan for any aircraft for the places you'd like to fly and just edit in the aircraft you want to fly the plan? (That, of course, presupposes you can find a flight plan for any aircraft at all....)

Sorry,

I have a timetable from 1951 for TEAL services ("Solent flying boats") across the Tasman (Sydney-Auckland and Sydney-Wellington); the Auckland-Fiji run and, would you believe, the Kangaroo Route between New Zealand/Australia and on to London, the first part of which (Auckland - Sydney) was operated by Solent flying boats.

If you wish, I could scan the appropriate sections and post them for you.

No worries at all, Mr. Runner.
I'll do that over this weekend sometime, pop them on my website and post the link in this thread.

I also have the following links to the Imperial Airways site, set up many years ago.

You'll find flying-boat schedules (as well as their other services) that might be of interest, too.

Here's a schedule for Pan American from 1939

And one from 1940 for Latin America

Here you go....scans of my 1951 TEAL timetable.









(That Solent on the cover is the one in which I flew Sydney-to-Auckland and return as a boy in 1953.)
