        Hi Bruce and fellow pilots. I am in Holland until this evening.
        With the help of my Son I managed to access the files from
        FS9,etc, 22GB, so I could use F Logger, seems all is working
        even FS Navigator.
        Will download the files tomorrow at home.
        Hope Eric and all you guys are in good health.

        Hope Eric and all you guys are in good health.
         

On that: I am recovering from a burn-out. Well on my way to recovery now, but that's about 4 months in, and it's going to take me about another half year to be back up on full speed again.

First thing to do when burned out is to quit everything and sleep, sleep, sleep. That brings back a bit of energy needed for further recuperation. Then, eventually, you can start adding things back to your ToDo list, but in very small increments.
I am working for three mornings a week again, and that's about what my energy level is able to do at the moment. But I am now feeling like it is time to expand on those hours. I finally feel like doing something other than the bare minimum again.
I feel like EHM activities are one of the next things on my list to add again, so I'll dig around for that PP event I had laying around alreadyy, and start entering it into the database.
Let's see if we can get this show on the road (in the air) again!

Hi all,

just to let you know that I indeed re-activted my IVAO account and flew online for a bit, just to get all updates out of the way, and to prove to myself that I could still fly
Nice detail, that Bruce actually caught me flying

This does mean that my recovery is prograssing in the right direction, but I am nowhere near there yet. Everything still costs me a lot of energy, and my energy reserve is just not that big yet. Moving in the right direction, though, and I ampicking up more and more of the things that I used to love to do.
But progress is painstakingly slow. Also because I want to get back to my previous self too soon, probably. My doctor says I am a bit too optimistic about what I can do already, and that hinders my recovery. I need to take lots of rest, and let everything else go, if I want to recover quickly.

That said: I do want to create an online PP event to start from the new year.
I was thinking of copying an IVAO VFR Tour of some division.
Any preferences? I was thinking of the Aruba VFR tour 2016, as that is still open (and probably will be for a while ) but that will take us along the "well known" carribbean fields - and some lesser known.
The thing is that most active tours have an end date of 31.12.2023 or 31.01.2024. And I don't think we can do 20 legs before that So I might just have to wait until the 2024 tours come available.

In the mean time, if anyone has an leglist laying around, you are welcome to share it with me on ehm.operations@gmail.com
