What plane are you using for this trip?
Reason I ask is that I finally had a chance to fire this game up and actually
play yesterday, and decided to do the Yosemite bush trip. It's in a Cub. First leg (the longest of all of them, winding through the Sierra Nevada mountains... glorious) which takes about an hour (they say 41 minutes, but they lie) went well... found all the various turnoffs I was supposed to take and didn't need the "Get Me Back On Track" option... only to finally facepalm the runway at the end due to the plane tipping over when stationary! TWICE!!!
Third time was finally the charm and I finally managed to get the plane to stop whilst still upright.
I decided four things yesterday.
1) 3rd person flying is a lot easier than 1st person, plus you see more. This now includes landing!
2) I hate the Cub.
3) Yosemite is beautiful...
4) I hate the Cub.
Still, I'm going to carry on today with hopefully the next couple of legs which are shorter. Once that's complete, I'll be doing your trip... although I may modify it slightly to take in more of the east coast where I'm from.
Edit: Also, if you want to know what a drunk Latvian looks like whilst flying, this should answer your questions (warning: language, Timothy)
