Why Karsten? This move is to allow you to fly an entire event and demonstrate your skill without having to worry about a third party ruining it for you.
An example (and ignore the fact that I am helping Robert manage this event and so this particular series of things would *never* happen); on a particular leg of the US Pioneers event, you and I are the last two pilots (and hence planes) at a particular field, and its mere minutes before the leg we are on has to be flown. A third pilot comes along and takes "my plane" and flies it to somewhere/anywhere/crashes it. I notice this, take "your plane" and fly it to somewhere/anywhere/crash it, thereby robbing you of a plane and further participation in the event (lest we forget, this has almost happened more than once in the Pioneers event!) If there are no "spare" planes, or manager about to redress matters, you are out of the event because of something you had absolutely no hand in or control over.
The new event engine will prevent this happening - at the start of a future event, a plane will be allocated to you for the event. You will be the only person that sees that particular plane when the time comes to lock PP flights; the well being of that plane is dependant on one person alone - you. Surely that is much fairer? The only person that can remove that plane from the event is you as it's pilot.
This move is not being made to punish the genuine flight enthusiasts but those that think event rules don't apply to them...
EHM-0502 Desmond:
I think it is a great idea to lock a plane to one person for an event - you're more likely too look after it as if you don't you may not finish the event.
EHM-0361 Karsten:
Yes I understand that and that's a good thing. What I'm at talking about is my current situation. Sorry but I'm at the moment a little pi**ed off at the MT. I lost my DC3 to a crash and as such I'm suspened, nothing wrong about that. But it's the fact that I'm given a 7 days suspention, to make sure that I'm not going steal somebody elses aircraft. I don't being suspended for 7 days if theres a good reason for it. But first of all I haven't seen any announcement anywhere on the forum where it says that you can be suspended for more the 3 days, even during an event. But like I said I don't mind that, because I don't fly that much ProPilot any way. What really upsets me is the reason for this long suspention. Making sure I don't steal somebody elses aircraft. I don't like being judged and punished for something that I would never do.
EHM-1671 Ben:
Hey there Karsten,
Sorry to hear about your problem... who would actually steal your plane, though, and crash it? It seems to belittle the maturity that EuroHarmony pilots traditionally seem to hold. I would be very upset if someone did that to me. I hope something is done to fix this!

The flightplans I made are prepared for VFR/ direct GPS flying, but you can change it to any type you want. Because the pilots used visual navigation and a compass only, the preferred altitude for the legs do not go over 4000...6000 feet above the ground

i just noticed the cruise altitude given in the table with all the flights on the events page.
is this altitude compulsury or can i follow what robert said?
