Online long flight group event
EHM-1281 Cyriel:
Just something on my mind...
I have read two post about people leaving to do their co-pilots all the work. I don't think idea of online flying is to not be in your cockpit for extened periods of time unless you disconnect.
also refer to http://forum.ivao.aero/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11795
short summary. There is no poitn flying online if you are not there. I tend to agree with the point of view but that is just my humble opinion.
EHM-1703 Philip:
Yeah, I agree Cyriel. I personally disconnect if I am leaving the keyboard for any reason, even for a restroom break!
EHM-0654 Murray:
As if to prove that there's no ill will against you Cyriel, I'm going to agree with you on this matter. If you need to be away from the cockpit for more than an hour, disconnect from IVAO and reconnect when you get back (as per the suggestion from the IVAO staffers on that thread).
But (you saw that coming, admit it) I'm going to put in a proviso... I'm not entirely sure of the numbers that are going to be taking part in the long haul leg, but it looks to be a good 5 or 6 at the minute. As long as "out of cockpit" time is kept to a minimum (under an hour), and when those that do leave mark their FPs appropriately ("away - XXYYZ to XXYY+1Z; reason"), and as long as most of us are still there and know who is away and for how long, I personally don't think the IVAO staffers will be too upset.
Now I have my IVAO forum login again, I'm going to post an event notification that makes it clear that for the T-A section chances are we'll all take breaks at some point to let "the co-pilot have a go".

Great route Murray ;) I have 3 more question regarding the event and technical :
1. Where can you download SID/STAR for FSNAV ?
2. Shall we ask some ATC presence to that day for the 3 desired airports/region ?
3. I checked the SIDs for Gran Canaria, and those are absolutely crazy ! Making 18 or 26 nm radius circles around a fix ??? So, which will be the 2nd leg route ?

1. Options\SID-STAR Download (except there's no GCLP/KATL procedures... hence those plans I made having them hand-crafted)
2. I'll be putting in a request in the IVAO Events Forum, but if not there's no point worrying about it. Iains offered and could no doubt handle KATL-APP/DEP (FRAs allowing)
3. The best bet for the second leg is the route I posted (second or third post in the thread). GCLP-LPPT is actually pretty easy; 700nm almost due N.

Wow ! Thanks Murray. :$ I am absolutely sorry, I joined this thread a little late and probably have not red the beginnings.
