On the page of the Fly-in there's 2 mistakes regarding the arrival airport, VPQR where it should be VQPR

No inconveniance :) It was just a note
And by the way, the time for the fly-in is also the local time?
If it is, it will be quite a challenge! I've allready tried it in daylight with real weather.... and I crashed several times :)

The time on the page is mainly just the time for us to get together, not neccessarily the FS time. Because of that you can change the FS time to daytime, I will be doing that ;D

However of course if you want the challenge you can have the local time the same as the fly-in time, but I would say "be prepared" ;)

Looks like a nice challenge!

Too bad I have a birthday to go to, tomorrow evening. So I won't be there with you guys. :(
But I will certainly give it a try soon!

Good luck all.

I managed the flight ok. The steep drop into VQPR is an experience,and worth a try.
    Thanks to the MT.;)

Did this flight only yesterday, because I didn't have the time at the event date. It looked like a nice challenge. And indeed it was!

Added challenge: I took off at sunset...


which is nice, of cause...


but makes the plunge into the deep darkness only more scrary!


I got out of it alive, although I think the 400 fpm landing (at stall speed; no need to backtrack) would have cost me a lot of precious PP penalty points, had I made it as a PP flight ;D
