EHM-1947 Miko:
Sorry that I disappeared from WSSS without saying bye and did not wait on Peter - wasn't on purpose - I had a CTD and could not reconnect :%
It was a nice flight - only the voice of the approach controller was very broken - but we "translated" to each other.
But I highly appreciate that there was a helpful guy controlling us in the middle of the neight (at Singapore).
EHM-1752 Luciano:
Yes, nice flight.
It was myt first flyin and I liked it. Appreciated using multiple chat. I didn't know that.
I wonder why we had different winds at VTBS. I departed from rwy 19 since I had wind from 230.
I also wonder why the app sent us to rwy 02 instead of 20 (different winds again?). I didn't dare to ask since the comm was so bad I hardly could understand him. But of course was great of him to be there.
I think I will be with you whenever possible for me in the future.
Have nice flights,
Luciano
EHM-0654 Murray:
Re: 02s active at WSSS, I suspect they operate a runway preferential system. As our "man on the spot", care to comment Javier? Given that the 02 approaches keep the incoming airplanes over water until reaching the ground, it'd make sense.
I have a feeling that WSSS_APP was Dutch, and as such only a few hundred miles away from most of us in real life. But yes, his mic really did suck, and the way he was using it didn't help either. You'd think four pilots telling you you're difficult to hear would make you slow down a little bit at least.
EHM-1821 Javier:
On Vatsim, we use either runway depending on thw wind, however, most pictures i've seen on A.net of inbound traffic were mostly rwy 02, so im not too sure
20C/2C for takeoff and 20R/2L for landing (2C and 20C is 20L and 2R in FS but its been changed due to real world stuff)
If you fly on Vatsim, you'll get Singaporeans for ATC;D be warned of a slight "Singlish" accent though, only joking lol :] We'll speak proper English!;D
EHM-0654 Murray:
Ooh.. Jav... Given the success of the fly-in last night, and the fact that I'll be wanting to do it again on VATSIM in January (either personally or as the official EHM online fly-in), know any good freeware WSSS scenery?
That siamavsim VTBS is excellent, and really framerate friendly too. It was just a shame that I didn't have something equally nice for Changi...
