If you decide to show up in a DC-6A, I suspect that two (or possibly more) generous pours will be in order.

Columbia Cargo
This journey across Colombia was inspired by the plethora of Colombia registered DC-6A cargo paints on Flightsim.to. The flight starts in Puerto Carreno (SKPC) at the confluence of the Meta and Orinoco Rivers just across the frontier with Venezuela and ends in Medellin (SKMD).
Stops include:
- SKUA - Marandua AB
- SKIV - La Primavera Airport
- SKYP - El Yopal
- SKSO - Alberto Lleras Camargo
- SKVL - Velasquez
- SKMD - Olaya Herrera
Flightplan: HERE
Aircraft
The route is 553nm and an aircraft capable of 230knts cruise is recommended. A Colombian registered cargo DC-6A would be an excellent choice and will make for a very colorful ramp. I will be flying the ASUR DC-6A in the link below. A P-38 or TBM would work fine as well. As always, you are free to fly what you like.
DC-6A Cargo Paints
- ASUR Colombia Douglas DC-6A
- Aerosucre Colombia Douglas DC-6A
- ORION Air Cargo Colombia Douglas DC-6A
- Aerosol Colombia Douglas DC-6A
- DC-6A Tampa Cargo (HK-1276)
- DC-6A ANDES

I know this sounds crazy, but have you filed a Zendesk ticket describing in detail the problem and steps you've taken? You might get some troubleshooting steps that you've not tried yet and not have to do a full re-install.

Hello Johnny
Over the years the folks in this forum have flown in FSX, various P3D versions, but nowadays just about everyone has transitioned to MSFS. We use the MSFS multiplayer to see each other and teamspeak for voice communication. You already have teamspeak so please do join us on Wednesday at 1800 UTC (2pm EDT) if you are able.
If you do not have MSFS there is JoinFS which allows multiplayer sessions between different Flight Simulator platforms. You will need to download the version for the simulator that you are running. You will only see other participants if they too are running JoinFS. It requires a bit more futzing about to get everyone on the same page.
If you are just getting back into Flight Simulation you really should consider MSFS. It is amazing. You don't need a state of the art OC to run it. I am running it on an Intel 4770K and 1080ti video card. There is a lot of excellent freeware scenery and other addons. Most of the default aircraft are pretty darn good too and with some of the freeware mods I would say excellent.
Welcome to the RTWR forum.

I am going to suggest an alternative KJAC Freeware by JustOKPilot
https://flightsim.to/file/1453/jackson-hole-airport-kjac
It has the more rustic stone and wood terminal building which I find charming
Odogs Jackson Hole which is the addon link that Josh seems to be a more up to date representation of the real airport based on the comments but I do not like the appearance of the main terminal building as much.

Peru Up-Down-Up
Our journey begins at Cap Carlos Martinez De Pinillo (SPRU) on the Pacific Coast of Peru at Trujillo. The first section of the route follows the Moche river valley into the front range of the Andes which rises quickly from the coast. Keep an eye on those engine gauges as you climb – then after 50nm we reach our first landing at Quiruvilca Airport (SPQI) – Field Elevation 13,674 ft. It is only 18nm to Angasmarca Airport (SPTO) – Field Elevation 10,702. Avoiding the high terrain we make our way eastward to Pias Airport (SPIS) - the runway is on the banks of the Parcoy River and in a deep canyon with high terrain in all quadrants. Departing to the north over Lake Pias we follow the Paroy River down to its junction with the Marañón River (the principal or mainstem source of the Amazon River). Follow the Marañón canyon down to our next landing at Chagual Airport (SPGL). Continuing 19nm miles down the impressive Marañón canyon to Wpt 5 where we turn sharply south and climb up to Huamachuco Airport (SPUC) – Field Elevation 10,410 ft. It is 50nm to our next landing at Cajamarca (SPJR) followed by a longer 74nm leg to San Nicolas (SP0A). We finish at Chachapoyas (SPPY) – which is a familiar name to some.
Flightplan HERE
I plan to fly the route in the Aerosoft DHC-6 Twin Otter in Aeropostal livery. Total distance of the route is 304nm and an aircraft capable of 150 knts is preferred, but as always you are free to fly what you like.

NOTAM: The author of the Far North Queensland Missing Airfields has included a text file "Queensland Airfields.txt" in the package that has useful and interesting information about some of our stops on this trip. It is worth a read and you might want to keep it handy. Little NavMap users may want to re-scan their scenery libraries to pick up the missing strips.

For Starfighter drivers who want a navigational assist you can find an "ln3" file HERE which has the airports for this fight.
Drop the text file into the your \Community\simskunkworks-aircraft-tf104g\Data\phi-files directory. Thanks to Klas for his conversion tool. Very Handy.
