The Dakar 2007 is the most challenging event in the world.  This year, the organizers describe “Different stages every day, a fast-changing pace, high-speed stretches alternating with technical legs, intense navigation. . .

Pilots have to be skilled, on the lookout for the slightest traps, and shrewd navigators, or else they will loose a great deal of time and energy. . . the Dakar will be an extreme challenge again this year.”

from the site:

Does it fit to us, as well? :))

Safe flights to everybody,
Luciano

The default EHM airplane can be downloaded here:

I will update this on the event page tomorrow.

Also, on friday night we will deploy the PMDG one.

Bruno, you sent me two mails yesterday. One of them indicated the plane CS-DKN, the other one the plane CS-DKS.  In the lock flight section I found the two flights under my name, colored in green, which one should I fly?

By the way I was preparing my legs and noticed that in the event section the airport Kayes Dag Dag was indicated with the ICAO GAKY instead of GAKD. Just mis-typed?

Best regards,
Luciano Eibenstein

Hi Luciano,

Sorry it was a mistake. Forget the CS-DKS. You'll use the CS-DKN.

The aerodrome ICAO is corrected. Thank you.

We also have inserted the airplane link on the Events page.

Thank you Bruno.

By the way, I just tried to update my FLogger in order to have the 2007 Dakar flights show up.

I couldn't because got this msg from the program:



Translation from Italian:'Impossible to set on Null a column which cant be canceled'

Any idea why? Anybody else gets this?

Regards,
Luciano Eibenstein

Hi all,
I just tried to lock the CD-DKZ (ID 1010) but the destinations table is blank.
Is it a must to load a FLogger update for this event?

Good pilots keep their number of landings equal to their number of takeoffs. Takeoffs are optional but landings are Mandatory.

Hello Bruno,

I sent you an EMail with my EHM-Number and my name but have not yet received any info about a locked plane.

(I am PP-newbie - I suppose after you locked a plane for me I will find it in the PP-Section as locked for me?)

Thanks

Hi Miko,

I didn't received any email from you. But, I reserved an airplane for you and the tail id is CS-DKU.

Regarding the reservation there is a difference:

Reservation: The airplane is reserved but not locked. Basically it means that no one else, besides the pilot's airplane owner can lock the airplane.
It permits that when a pilot finishes a flight, and the airplane is unlocked, it still will be reserved to the same pilot.

Lock: The airplane is locked (consequentaly it will not appear for the others to be locked) and can only be flown by the respective pilot.

Hope it helps.

Here are my screenshots of the first leg. Unfortunately, Snapper got an error before arrival so there are no approach shots. Weather is from ActiveSky, camera is Walk and Follow, LPPT scenery is from PPP. Images are resized.

















Hope you enjoy them, and good luck to all pilots on the event!
