WILD Division PP Event - progress
EHM-0654 Murray:
Not sure I believe it, as otherwise the sky is as clear as anything, but X-Plane's real world weather thinks that it's chucking it down (heavy rain) in KELP right now.
UPDATE: Rain cleared just before Rincon, but was all the way from ground to 10,500ft (my cruise)! Funnily enough, ASE says it's not raining anywhere near El Paso. :)
PIREP: First leg all done. As easy as when I did a practice run last weekend (easier in fact, at least I had AP control this time). X-Plane pilots are warned to watch out for balloons operating near E98, and deer running across the strip when you land ;)
UPDATE: Meant to post this on Saturday, and in much higher res, but I've had no end of problems uploading to the Gallery. I'll update to a higher res version once I get home tonight.
Details
Here's a photo I took while flying the first leg of the WILD Division PP Event to let everyone see (most of) my current simpit. Going left to right: my HP laptop running Plan-G, my 22" Samsung showing X-Plane (transparent cockpit so I can see the ground somewhat, can't find how to raise the seat like you can in FS), and finally (one of) my 19" LG's which is running FLv4 (the version prior to the one you lucky people all now have access to). Now vertically down from my 22", my GoFlight panels (various controls mapped), my FDS MCP (so I can control the AP), and my yoke, with me all out of focus ;D
What's not visible from this shot, off to my right is my GoFlight throttle, my second 19" LG (the pair of them comprise my PFD when flying heavy iron, I was running Chrome on it when the shot was taken) and my FDS CDU (which was off entirely, as it was not needed :)).

Nice to see that several pilots have already started the Event successfully :D
Make sure to share updates and photos here as you go along ;)

Took me about 83 minutes, but that was flying low following the valleys ;D
Bring on leg 2
EHM-2463 Jonathan:
Hi
Just noticed something strange, I completed the first leg yesterday and landed successfully with no penalties but I am now showing a 50 point penalty in the pro pilot summary page but not on My Flights history. Any ideas ?
