Anyone interested in a trek? - The Polar Mission

This trek is actually happening right now IRL…

Seeing as we have a really great rendition of the Learjet 35A for MSFS (which is on sale right now), maybe there would be some interest in flying the same route? I’m thinking I might give it a go, although it will take me a little longer to complete than the real team.

Interesting, are we sticking to the listed route, or circumnavigate however we like as long as we hit both poles?

Looks fun!

I wonder if MSFS 2025 is more forgiving at the poles than 2020. I barely made it within 50 miles last year, before the sim locked up. :thinking:

@Deacon211 I think that maybe a test run would be in order. I think that for our purposes, if the sim starts behaving oddly we should just call it close enough and head turn away from the pole.

@jenrick In the true Mudspike spirit of trek rules, I think we should fly the general route as we see fit, and in whatever aircraft we like.

Hmm, too bad we don’t have a good B-36 or B-52 for MSFS.

Not saying the Peacemaker won’t make an appearance, but I think I’m going to use something a little faster for at least some of the legs.

Leg 1 planned out, working tomorrow night, but hopefully I can get it knocked out over my weekend (Mon-Weds).
