US Airmail Pioneers Event 2009
EHM-2097 Andrei:
Hi all,
Just to remind you this is the big day and flight locking for the first leg has started.
I strongly suggest you lock your flights early, so that should any problem arise, we have time to solve it without slowing down the event.
Another thing, if you prefer (like me) doing really VFR flights instead of "GPS direct", make sure you check this site, which provides online maps well usable with FS.
And don't forget to pick up a few letters with you, we have to back up the "Airmail" title somehow :D
See you in Frisco!

And a further reminder, as I see that there are quite a few Dakota's still waiting at KJFK (mine included, I'm flying tonight...), don't forget to lock and fly the leg by tomorrow Sunday at the latest, otherwise you'll be excluded from further participation in the event.

VFR charts are uploaded for the 1st three legs ! Thanks to Tamas ;)

Hi guys,
just back from my holidays, I would like to try to catch up with you guys (alongside the official tour, of cause, 'cause PP would give a problem locking the flights). As a dedicated FSXer, I was trying to get the Junkers fired up, but I a m having a bit of trouble there. Perhaps one of you can help?
The problem I am having with Tante Ju is that she won't start. I have fuel on board, and I try to follow the checklist, but after the starter engine revs the main engine to about 200 rpm, and the vacuum ("Saug") hits a reading of 4, all of it stops again. I get the same result even when I hit CTRL-E. I tried with different mixture and throttle positions on my Saitek yoke/throttle thinghy, but all with the same (lack of) result.
If I change to another type plane, start engines with CTRL-E, and change back again, she'd be running OK. She's a handfull to fly then, but that's a different topic ;)
I must be overlooking something here... Main switch, check; magneto's, check; mixture, check; throttle, check; fuel qty, check; crankthe engine a couple of times, check; hold ignition switch 'till engine starts... ?? I can only click it once, and it the reverts to the off position with the above results.
Anybody got any bright ideas?

I've answered this for the MAAM DC-3 in [ this thread ] and the same fix (you need to tweak the value a little) works for the Tante Ju. ;D
EDIT: Better yet, Dorin asked this very question in [ this thread ], and provides an answer for the Ju.
