Chit Chat / In Memorian Gergely Kosa.

Dear Members!
I'd like to pause for a moment in the midst of the rush and topics of everyday life...
We would like to inform you of the sad and devastating news that Gergely Kósa (128367), founder of the Hungarian division of IVAO, thus the first HU-DIR, former member of the IVAO SoftDev team, ATC and pilot instructor, passed away tragically at the age of 42.
Gergely signed up to the network twenty-two years ago as a young physics student at university. His dedication to the IVAO is best demonstrated by the fact that by 2004 he had gathered around him the Hungarian members who had been trying their wings in the virtual skies without belonging to a division and founded the IVAO Hungary division. In his spare time he prepared training materials for future pilots and pilots, spending countless hours teaching and examining them to the highest (at that time Instructor) ratings, not only in the Hungarian division but also throughout the network.
For our older members, the name of The Eye (IvAe) software, which is actually the predecessor of today's Webeye, may sound familiar. Although it has been out of use on the network for a long time, Gergely has also added value to IVAO by creating this software.
In 2016, after a long hiatus, he briefly returned to the network as HU-ADIR with a single mission: to save the division from closure.
His incredible knowledge, dedication and selflessness left a lasting impression on many of us, and I am sure that all of us who knew him have a fond, funny or even instructive memory of him or her.
Rest in peace, Gergő!
Thank you for everything! 🖤

I am getting better now, and will be OK soon.
It just shows that, although I am in the last strectch of recovering from burn-out (my energy levels are getting back to reasonably normal values again), I still have to gain some resistance and resilliance. A common cold would normally not have grown into a full blown pneumonia with me. So there is still a stretch of path to go.
But I'm getting there!

So I just approved 7 PIREPs of which the oldest was waiting for a full week already. Sorry about that, David and Dawie! That is not how I normally roll...

Announcements / Re: PP Event: VFR World Tour 2024 IVAO
« Last post by EHM-2387 Eric-Jan on January 05, 2024, 06:50:49 pm »Allright!
The VFR World Tour 2024 Event is now live on the website. You have the month of January to join. Leg 1 is "open" until February 4th.
Legs will become available at a rate of 1 per week, and will all be available for 4 weeks, in principle. With 50 legs, this will keep us busy for the whole year.
I have added a bit of slack at the end for the December holidays, finishing our tour by the end of January 2025 - like the IVAO World Tour.
Do remember to play nice and follow the rules of the IVAO World Tour. You can find them here:
https://wt.ivao.aero/tours?action=description&tourID=82
Also, per leg charts, suggested routes and instructions are available in the leg list; be sure to check them out before each leg.
That also goes for the replacement ICAO codes. All ICAOs as per our website are valid for FS9, FSX, and all versions of XPLANE.
There are only 2 exceptions for MSFS2020: 5T6 is called KDNA in MSFS2020, and SLRI is called SA68 in MSFS2020. So you have flightlogger issue a PP flight for 5T6, and fly to (or from) KDNA if you are using MSFS2020.
Now head on over to the website and sign on!
Safe Flights!
