Scramble up the rankings?

[EHM-1199 Philip]

Whew. This is a tricky one. I'm slightly torn. We will have to fly tours again to win the award. Well, part of me thinks what a great leveller and we're all back to the start again. However, is there not a danger that all people will do is fly tours for a few months to get the badges back.
That said, the tours are the best flights and I'm queuing up for the UK and Alps tour again.

What do others think about having to refly the tours?

I had just started my first tour when "The Big Crash" happened. So I don't mind doing 5 flights again.

for me i've completed quite a number of tours before the crash, and so i'll have to fly a lot to get them back.......but then at least i'll be able to have a more powerful computer to enjoy the scenery much more than before!

And I'm in the diametrically opposed corner, as I have a much worse GFX card in an otherwise better computer...

I'll fly everything again, it'll give me a chance to correct errors I made in them first time around, and I have learned an awful lot since I completed everything that's on my old badge...

Phil,

The one thing you need to remember is that for a lot of the tours you needed to have X hours already logged and to be a particular rank within EuroHarmony... so there is likely to be a scramble up the rankings first.

I look forward to the fresh start. I can redo the order of tours (I want the Capitals of Europe as my first, unless I can fly the UK tour immediately...)

[EHM-1199 Philip]

There shouldn't be too much of a scramble up the rankings Murray as I thought we had submitted a request to be allocated our past flight hours. Hopefully therefore we should still have access to all the tours we have already completed.
I am looking forward to flying some of the tours again as they are great flights but then I know there has been some discussion in the past as to how many standard flight hours people record compared to how many tour hours.

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]

does that mean our tour hours would have to be deducted from our total hours? that poses a real problem for me.......cause i cant remember how many hours doing tours got me

[EHM-0188 Andy]

I think I'll start over. Maybe from another HUB now as I flew all my Class 1 and 2 flights from and around ESSA.

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]

Please consider LSZH, its a great hub!

Nooo!!!!
Please don't move from ESSA!

[EHM-0744 Alex]

Well... why not LPPT???

[EHM-0188 Andy]

Ok Kenneth, I'll stay, but only because you begged me to.

Lurching off topic - I see you still use your badge as your avatar Alex. Is this not slightly redundant now?
And gizmo - well ... looking good ... what can I say.

[EHM-0188 Andy]

I hope the badges will return when EHM starts up again

Ill take them off once the site is back on.

P.S. Ive tried out the iFDG MD-11, it handles quite nicely.

Cheers,

Alex;)

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]

I predict that the badges are very likely to return as the tours are a major part of EuroHarmony and the management would thus want them back, along with the badges

[EHM-0744 Alex]

By the way, Im gonna be away for about 3 to 4 weeks. See you guys then!

Cheers!

Alex;)

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]

Cya back three to four weeks later!

[EHM-0765 Sam]

After the crash i carried on flying, and now have completed most of the EHB tour, which i cannot post, i am very very annoid, we should have beeen notified at the start.

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]

yeah i know how you feel......i would have been annoyed too.......but still look on the bright side of things! you've just gained lots of flying experience and you'll be able to really experience the beauty of flying those routes when you fly them the second time! cheer up!

[EHM-1034 Kris]

I personaly don't mind flying the some tours all over. Well in my case that would be only 2. And I got FS9 now.

[EHM-0765 Sam]

Hmmm.
