Hello.

This news might interest all the flight sim fans. Three french fans have decided to do a world tour in Flight Sim 2000; flying with a cessna. On simactu, we will be following, week after week, sometimes even day by day, their travel. They are sending us their in fligth notes and sharing this adventure. We just posted our first resume of the flight, that is , the first part of the travel. Next episodes will be supported by pics.

Note : It's in french, but with the help of a babelfish, it should be find

Here's the link:

Sounds like it will take a while. J'aime ton site. Est-ce que ils utilise le Cessna 182R Rg ou le 182S? Pour quoi est-ce que ils depart du Canada?

Salut,

Hello again !

Thx for your support Well, as far as I know, the guys are from Quebec, even though they speak french ! In fact, iI suppose the project leader of this adventure left from the closest airport to his hometown, in Quebec

They are flying around three hours per day, real time, and then doing a little report. I will be posting on SimActu Point Com, every day, a little resume of the adventure. Moreover, I am now posting screenshots so feel free to visit

What do you mean they are from Quebec "even though they speak french"? 99.999999% of Quebec's population speaks french! This is probably because Quebec is where the French mainly settled when they colonized Canada. I think I will check your site every couple of days to see their progress.

Salut

P.S. Kingston est dans Ontario (presque tout anglais )

Hello !

No offense What I meant by "What do you mean they are from Quebec "even though they speak french"? is that first, as they spoke french, I though they WERE from France. After speaking for a bit of time, I found out

Sure.

First, it's in the accent.
Second, lots of words have a different meaning. For example: "Tabernak!". In Quebec, this means something like "damn!".

In French ( from france ), this refers to a part of a Church. So you, even though we speak the same langauge, it's not that easy.

Also, no offense to Quebecers (my girlfriend lives there), they add a lot of english words into french sentances and end up sounding like idiots. They say stuff like "Oui c'est la fun." or "Ca cest cute!".
