Hi Kivanc,

Please note also that the aircraft are, for now, "assigned" but we won't be able to lock the flights until the very day the event starts.

So:

- You cannot see yet the flight with the "Propilot" button on the Flight Logger

- Every pilot will need to lock each flight (aka leg) at a proper time, that is within the time frame scheduled for that leg.

- To lock such a flight (in the web site as usual), the better is to select aircraft by type, which shows (roughly) all participants to the event who use the same plane.

- Now is the difference, as the assigned aircraft are coloured in green (for one's self aircraft) or orange (for other pilot aircraft). While hovering with the mouse over the list one can see whose aircraft it is.

- After you lock the flight, it appears coloured in light blue like any PP locked flight. From that moment on you can do the flight.

IMPORTANT NOTE: you may need to update the timetable in FL3 in order to see the actual event legs. It is recommended that all event participants do this in order to benefit from any last minute change.

Hope this helps

Andrei

Having just had a look myself in advance, I can confirm that, having run an update in the Flight Logger:-


* Both aircraft for the event are listed in the FLogger aircraft list
* The flights for the event are listed in the FLogger timetable
So this means that once the first leg is active - 2009-07-23 you can log onto the ProPilot section of the website and lock the first leg, then go into the Flight Logger, select the aircraft, select the flight, click the ProPilot button, fly the flight, success!

Hi,

Thanks all of you for the help and patience.

I've got the point.

Sorry to disagree - and in public - with my boss, but that's slightly inexact: clicking the ProPilot button selects the locked flight so there's no need to select aircraft nor flight beforehand.

I agree with the "fly the flight, success!" part though :)
