As requested by our fine pilot James Rice, I added an L-188 route that Northwest flew in 1960, just as the jet age was starting up. Keep a night light on. The southbound journey starrted at midnight.

NW database
KMIA-KFLL-KTPA-KMDW-KMKE-KMSP and return
NW 1900 Legs 1-5
Each leg is between 18 and 868nm
L-188 Electra

Enjoy and props (pun intended) to any pilot that can fly all 5 of these in either direction all the same day in a propliner! This must have been exhausting for the pilots.

First of all thank you for all your hard work Andrew, and thank you for putting these legs in. Second, where did you got that beautiful panel? Looks 500% better than the one I'm using smile

I found it. For some reason my FSX just doesnt like ACARS. FSX locked up three times trying to fly KMKE-KMSP using that model. Fortunately, it merged right into P3D with no fuss. Just got Leg 5 in the bag using P3D and ACARS.
