EDIT* Ooooh Look what I just spotted at EGLL, must have been picking up her crew that came in on the company traffic!

Thank you. The new fleet is on its way. I turned to the final stages but do not want to hurry with release.

I guess that 777 is our Meljet model. It can hurt in fps to use highly detailed models for AI ;D

Hi,

The airplane behind the MD-17 doesn't have anything to do with it.

Also, the event will be released tomorrow! ;D

Hi mates,

The Event developing is almost completed. We expect to release it at any moment from now on.

Also, the event will start next 10th November with a mega fly-in for the first flight (ok, the first flight is complex, landing 100% visual on a grass runway :o ).

So, practise, practise, practise as soon as the event is deployed! You cannot crash your airplane!!!!

Also, the event will be the most difficult one due to the airplane weight for visual approaches, so you need to control it very good!
The event will have 13 legs, and it's related, as you already noticed, with UNHCR. More will come there.

We also want to capture your attention to one of the biggest problems in the world: The poverty and the food and water rarity that is on Africa.

So, I cannot say no more! ;D ... The event will be released very soon ;)

Regards,

EHM-1671 Ben

I'm scared now, I can't honestly say that landing a four-engine aircraft (possibly fully loaded with cargo) on a grass runway is something I'm experienced with!! I'm sure it will be a lot of fun, though. Can't wait to get the rest of the information ;D;D;D;D;D;D

Yupeee! Wow...that's something for me. I like to ride these iron sky horses coming down to some nice green grass runway.

If they leave the grass long, our engines will mow it for them ;)

Well it's been released ! I guess the rest of you are asleep...;D

Congratulations to Bruno and the MT for this one - not only does it look like an interesting set of flights but it also makes us think about the serious problems of the Third World. Bravo!

I'm impressed with the Events page too, lots of information about the flights & destinations...

I've been practising with the existing MD-17, can't wait to test out the new one!

If a Antonov 225 or 124 can land on an ice runway, why cant a C-17 land on grass?;D

and you might want to change that to "loaded fully with food";)

can i book my plane here?:]

This loks realy great Bruno, it's going to be really great.
A little tip the egines of the MD-17 are possible to reverse when airborn, if braking for is need in air. Just like the DC-8.

I just found something (Thanks Matt;)), is it compulsury to fly at the allocated time? or is it just "for show"? or do we set the FS time to the given time?

some flights may be very early for some people while some very late. :%

Hi, that's the FS time, not the real time ;D ... It's just because of the visual landings, you need to "see" the runway ;D ...

Hi,

No, you need to send me an email to reserve an airplane for you. In answer, I will send you an email (respectively) with the tail-id for the airplane.

Last Minute Notice: You can download the UNHCR from the fleet page!!!! I will update the Event page also.
