Title: New virtual airline - Wesdas
Post by: 1993matias on October 08, 2012, 06:24:52 pm
Hello everyone!

I've been working for a while on a new virtual airline based in Denmark, and with the help of Bolli, I got a website running.

The airline has its main hub in Esbjerg, a small city on the west coast of Jutland, and a minor hub on Samsø, an island right in the middle of Denmark. The airline operates routes locally in Denmark - the shortest one being ~20 miles, regional routes in Northern Europe and a few longer flights to Southern Europe and Tunisia. We also have a single A320 flying to the US, Brazil and Thailand (obviously with stopovers) from Esbjerg.

The airline is now open for registration, although I haven't uploaded all flights yet. Current progress:
All flights from Samsø
All turboprop flights from Esbjerg
A few jet flights from Esbjerg

I will provide download links for the used aircraft on the website and here (if needed) together with the repaints.

The planned fleet is as follows:
1x A320-200
2x CRJ-700
1x ERJ-135
2x Saab 340B
2x Cessna Grand Caravan

More aircraft are planned to be added to the fleet as the Jutland-expansion continues.

I hope you will take your time to have a look around the still unfinished website. Give it a shot and become a pilot, it might be fun!

Nice! I took a gander on the Denmark-Iceland route on the A320. Cut the fuel too close and ran out when I was made to go around.

Awww, I calculate around 3000nm range with the Project Airbus A320, so the flight to Iceland would be ~40-45% fuel. That would maybe even be cutting it too close if you want the 1h-reserve requested by FSpax. But nice to hear you tried it out :D

For flying in Denmark, I recommend Danish Scenery: http://www.fsonline.dk/en/index.php?title=Denmark_Scenery

I'll try to do the Iceland to my own home base of MSP soon.

Also, what's the Saab model to use for this? Is there one?

I had used this one years ago with FS9, but it seems improved a bit for FSX and is working so far. Time to fly some more routes.

I don't see Karup :(

Also, it would probably be a good idea to add thisted to get some air service to the north west :)

You know, Karup is further away from Herning than Herning Airport. Domestic air travel in Denmark is a bit problematic when the biggest distance is ~500km. And Thisted is just a itty-bitty town far away from everything with only 13000 inhabitants.
While this airline focuses on Esbjerg, expansion might include routes from Herning and maybe Thisted, who knows? First though I have to sort out some financial problems :P

Feel free to join at www.wesdas.dk - even though the website design is the default and not all routes are loaded into the system...

Herning only has 1200 ft of paved runway, not even enough for a CRJ-100/200 - hence why Karup is the airport that serves Herning ;)

I've had tons of fun flying for Wesdas. Started with the Cessna, moved up the Saab and now flying ERJ-135 around Europe and North Africa.

Props:

ERJ-135:

Have a few more plans to file in the ERJ-135.

Filled in the ERJ-135 route map:

In addition, I add the EBJ-KEF-MSP route in the A320:
