Cheers Murray ... you're certainly being kept busy on this event.
Thanks for the prompt support on this as ever.

Oooooooo... Kay.

After what has been a very hectic day behind the scenes for all involved, I am pleased as punch to announce that Jarle threw together the event aircraft locking code this morning before he left for school, and it worked pretty much perfectly straight out of the box (two minor issues, and neither would have affected very much...)

So, as of this point, the only aircraft event pilots can lock are those listed against their names in the list I produced prior to the departure from KDSM. You can see each others planes but you can only lock your own.

I've just finished a long conversation with Jarle about this and that (MT will understand) and haven't seen the latest revision, but this morning when I was working to repair the mis-locking spooge, it plain stopped you locking any aircraft that wasn't your own.

Finally, I need to properly, publicly apologise to Jarle. I've gone back through the aircraft list posts and cannot see anywhere Ricardo "claiming" 813. I must guess that I looked at who had what locked each time I was "fixing" a mis-lock and took what I saw at the time as Gospel - for that I am very sorry Jarle.

Further, Ricardo (do you read the forums at all mate???) I would very much like to apologise to you "in person" for the other matters that have arisen today. Do you have an MSN Messenger account or similar (I have accounts on most of the major ones)?

Nope, there's only one in the DB (checked a few times last night). I'm hoping it will sort itself out after the next leg, otherwise it'll be myself and Jarle going through the code with a fine toothed comb.... :(

Call me slow if you want - I've only just realised that Google Calendar's XML calendar service is basically the same as an RSS feed for a calendar.

So, any participants that don't yet have a Google Calendar account, but do know/use/love RSS feeds, can still benefit from my public event calendar, just add:

http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/murray.crane@gmail.com/public/basic

As an RSS feed URL and you'll get all the legs as articles. Unfortunately (certainly in Thunderbird) you have to read the "articles" to get the dates of the legs.

Someone help!

My plane, PH-UJG, is missing from the fleet page and the lock flight page!

I just flown S034 when I went to check it, I found that the plane was missing.

Is this because PP is "sending my aircraft to maintainence in preparation of the next flight or did it just go missing?

There is still 1 leg to go and i want to be able to fly it so that i cant get that award. dont want it missing now...
Please help:[

Javier,

I see what's happened ;)... I'll discuss with PhilN and see how it goes. Don't worry, you have an answer before S035 "goes live".

Just realised after all the earlier discussion here I never came back to thank you for the great work on the reservation system Murray. An easy-to-use-colour-coded-for-fools piece of genius that really makes the system of accidentally booking a colleagues plane a problem of yesteryear - thanks m8.

I accept no responsibility for the locking code, it was all Jarle's work. The only input I had in it was (1) shouting over and over for it ;) and (2) making a tiny wording change suggestion.

Javier, you should find UJG back again ready for you to lock it. You were CCed on the email from PhilN, so hopefully you have some understanding of what actually transpired (if not, I'll explain after the event...)

Yes, I agree, it takes a lot of the confusion out of locking flights. It'll be a lot of help on the next PP event.

I have just landed at KSFO, San Francisco Int'l.

I would like to thank all those who made the Airmail Tour possible (in particular, Murray, Jarle and Robert). It was an awesome event and one I really enjoyed. I'm looking forward to the next one, and hopefully it won't be as much of a headache for some!

Thanks very much, it was absolutely fantastic!!!  ;D;D;D

I look forward to flying with you 1821. Finally, someone around-ish my age. I'm 15, and my signature explains my skills.

I get nervous flying with adults. I don't know why. Adult ATC is worse for me, as one told me that I should consider taking phraseology as a subject to get some in my head, or maybe thats because I like calling Phraseology the language of the confused.

I actually like talking that way, I just got lost once when I didn't have enough time to read the "what to do in an emergency" and then the left engine cut out. It was the worst emergancy landing in the history of coventry airport. I'm suprised the left wheel stayed on.

hi Matt.

Just call me Javier.

I dont fly online on IVAO like you though.
Would have if my sister would just let me delete her Sims 2 to make more space...

do you have msn?can i add you?
[off topic]I am not too surprised though that the three of us actually live so far apart.

You:England  
Me:Singapore(not many pilots from here...)
Ben:Born in America but lives in New Zealand

From what I think, we will have a better chance meeting up in the Virtual sky than face to face...

Still hope i can go to England 1 day...

Regards
