Online long flight group event

[EHM-1281 Cyriel]

Locking the flight and updating your database are not related as the database is offline on your oc and locking happens in the online database. I have the same problem with the 747 in KATL. The flight we are doing is not available. If it is not fixed I will not be using PP tomorow:{

Hi,

It's loaded now, my mistake.

Don't forget to click the UPDATE button on the flight logger.

En-route update from the long flight - I'm last in the queue coming in to GCLP (don't ask... problems with the PSS 777...) with an IVAE ETA of 1730Z and I'm currently in a patch of pretty dead air mid-Atlantic, so that may well change (there's another chunk of high tailwind air somewhere to the east of me and my GC should be back up above 550KTS real soon now. Chugging along at 444KTS GS ATM.)

I'm happy to be last off the ground from GCLP - ETD 1800Z

[EHM-1703 Philip]

Ok, I'm 680 nm from GCLP, just prepping for the last hour of flight, taking my last break before decent. GS 515kn at FL370. Tim Berry is 1.5 nm off my Port side, got some great close action screenshots. Check out the Screenshot page in the Company section of the main website! More will follow when I get to LPPT.
See you on deck!

Hi,

I'm off. Just in 15 mins the GCLP CTR wasnt seeing us and I tried to connect again on IVAP. On the moment that I disconnected it the airspeed just went terrible fast (due to the changing weather that was ran from IVAP and then to ActiveSky) and the result was a tragically overstress on the aircraft.
I am very sad with all of this. After a 8h flight and when I was preparing for descend I got this. I also don't have moral strength to do the second leg.

So, good luck with you all and I will be here again for the second long flight and for the next fly in's.

Regards,

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Well, I am off too The ATC recognized me too late and did not give the descend clearance, also forced to change server...but when I did it IVAP simply disconnected because I tried to go online in the air. So, I am sad after 8 hours flying I could not reach the Canaries ground.

[EHM-0654 Murray]

Yes, real shame what happened with GCCC_CTR. I survived it all and have some "parked up in formation" shots to work through.

1800Z for departures as indicated previously I think; Had a quick bite to eat, done meself a hair cut, just about to have a shower, and I'll see if I can reinstall Robert's PSS repaint as well... Mwahahahaha!

[EHM-0744 Alex]

Did you guys have problems on arrival with ATC?:| I'm loading up FS, getting ready for the second leg of the event. No ATC though, at least at 1730Z

[EHM-1358 Tim]

The guy was really slow, I luckly got on the ground.

Great flyin, bring on leg 2!

[EHM-1703 Philip]

Well after a reboot and restart in mid air, I managed to land, GCCC_CTR was way too late with descents, I had to request all my descent levels and he didn't sound happy that I wanted to descend early. Maybe he is used to Eurofighters flying in and out of there. Ah well, on the ground safe and sound, loading up for the next leg now.

[EHM-0744 Alex]

Leg 2 good and smooth, a good amount of EHM planes, bascially no problems on arrival, only a slow depature and a lack of ATC at Lisbon. Great flight! And good pics. (Razza's getting excited on TS seeing all those EHM planes;D;D;D )

Cheers!

d**n i feel so Patriotic

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Hey chief, we left almost all PP birds in Atlanta Would you join for a refly of this long flight next weekend ? Well, we could use time acceleration over the Ocean

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

Hi Robert,

Unfortunately I will not be online next weekend. I need to go to my countryhouse do some farm work. But I am sure we will manage that because I got really dissapointed with the bad luck that I am having when I want to fly with you.

Since January/2005 that we have fly-in's and, for this or that excuses, I only finished once (the LOWI fly-in).

D#"mn I am really upset with this.

Regards,

[EHM-1358 Tim]

Don't worry Bruno, your spell of bad luck will soon move and rain on someone else.

[EHM-1703 Philip]

Yep it was hard work at times, I was fighting a poor performing PC which finaly gave up on approach to GCLP, but thanks to autosave and FSNAV Slew, I managed to catch up. ATC at GCLP was slow, so disconnected and got up in the air and rejoined. Sorry, I know I should be patient, but after a long day, your patience runs thin! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Don't worry about the planes in KATL, they will soon disapear once the Hub opens up!

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

.. well, once the hub opens, much more airplanes will be loaded there

Regards,

[EHM-0654 Murray]

Robert,

If you produce a list of what's at Atlanta and where it needs to be, I'll see if I can't offline one or two of them during the week (Boeings especially... )

Everyone, thanks for making our first event of 2006 a great one. As I said to those of you at Lisbon last night, initial page will be up either later tonight (after I get home from work) or tommorrow. I need your stories and pictures emailed ASAP (unless they are in the Gallery, of course...)

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Well, finally (after 2 FS crashes) I managed to bring home a lady It was a bit boring alone and no ATC on the route. And that hill on final, growing from the left toward the glideslope was very annoying! And those tiny little taxiways, ahh. I think Las Palmas will not be my favourite airport I might continue the tour tonite to Lisbon.
