"before departing at GVNP, it should show "destination" in green, not magenta"
I'm sure you meant "Origin" ;)  :P

But anyway: as long as it shows up in green; then you're good to go  :D

EHM-2097 Andrei:
This is correct... and fixed by now  ;)

And you are right about the "green good, magenta bad" part (quiz: what famous political novel is this a reference to?)

Hi Andreij !

Please help !
There is somthing, which I don´t  understand:
What is the difference between an "normal" PP flight _  to lock a flight  and an aircraft  -  and then start with your choosen aircraft at the airport and open the FlightLogger and choose your locked flight

How does it work with the tour ?
Do I have to lock the flight before ?  Do I have to request deadheading to LFBO ?
If I want to make a pp flight between the legs, do I have always requ deadheading ?

Cheers !

EHM-2097 Andrei:
Hi Franz,

There is a difference indeed, you DO NOT need to lock the flight previously. Just start  a new Propilot flight in FL4, push the button to retrieve the locked flight and it should be there!

For the deadheading I am not 100% how it works, this is Alxander's "baby" :) but personally I did request a deadhead before leg #1. And I am afraid this means that you need deadheads between the event legs as well (it would be useful for someone else to confirm this, though).

What I do know for sure is that unlike assigned flights, there is no way in FL4 to get multiple locked flights and choose the one you want; the server always knows which is THE ONE locked flight you can fly. Thus I assume (or should I say "speculate"?) that when doing other flights interlaced with the event legs, the server decides this based on which event legs are open and your current location.

Unfortunately I cannot try this myself at this time, because I was unable to complete my first leg yet (but I checked FL4 and the first leg is there all right).

So I suggest you first try just getting the leg #1 in FL4. If this does not work, request a deadhead to LFBO (it will be an "instant deadhead" if you are more than 48hrs after your previous PP flight). If this still does not work, please let me know and I will take a deeper look in the database.

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Your PP location needs to be the origin airport you wish to depart from, otherwise FL4 wo'nt retrieve the (automatically) locked flight for you. So yes, you'll need to set a deadhead each time you wish to fly PP from a different location than your last PP landing.
That is: both if you want to "leave" the event for a while, to go fly PP somewhere else, and when you want to re-join the event at your last-landed event location.

Or at least that's how I understood it works. Never flew PP outside an event I participated in, though. So I have no actual experience to tap from, here.
