104th_Maverick Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Sunday 26th July 17:00z What is it? Cross the Pond is a transatlantic event on the VATSIM network that hundreds of clients take part in to fly non stop from Europe to North America. On VATSIM all aircraft for the event are given a full ATC service for the duration of their flight with departure time slots, its an outstanding event that every hard core flight sim enthusiast should take part in! Cool story bro, what's this got to do with DCS? Well we've decided to create a DCS version of this event in the hope that people will enjoy something different. Obviously we cannot fly from Europe to North America within DCS so instead we propose to do laps around the Black Sea to the rough equivalent distance of a transatlantic hop (approx 4 hours). Each aircraft will be assigned a specific Flight Plan including Altitudes to hold with this Flight Plan also being programmed into the aircraft's waypoints. The Flight Plan routes will be published so all users can view the routing of their aircraft and others.
