Here's another fantastic Route Structure by George Blundell-Pound, DCA-1541.
BOAC was formed at the outbreak of World War II by the merger of two UK
airlines, Imperial Airways and the original British Airways. During the
Second World War BOAC operated a total of 160 aircraft of nineteen different
types.
BOAC's decision to continue scheduled service during World War II was not
without peril, though. Eighty-one employees lost their lives during wartime
operations.
The DC-3 flights are based on BOAC's 1946 route schedule and serve two
continents; Europe and Africa. Navigation is principally by NDBs, although
if that is troublesome to flight-simmers they may use VORs instead.
The DC-4 flights are based on the 1954 BOAC Route structure. In addition to
the two continents named above, the DC-4s also served Asia and South
America. The DC-4 flight plans use VORs and the ILS.
Wherever possible, the DC-3 and DC-4 flight plans use the principal airports
of the era of the flights.
With 255 flights and their flight descriptions and PLN files one can easily
see that George devoted many months to this project. Beyond that effort,
though, George also consulted with the staff of the British Airways Archives
and Museum, www.bamuseum.com, to
ensure the accuracy and completeness of the documentation package which is
included in the download. You will find that illustrated document very
interesting reading.
The DC-3 routes vary from 105 to 994 nm in length while the DC-4 routes vary
from 124 to 1725 nm in length. There is something for everyone in George
Blundell-Pound's BOAC schedule. These flights should be OK for FS9 and FSX.
Enjoy!
