As part of the celebrations to mark 10 years since EuroHarmony VA began operations on 29th April 2001, we are having a special fly-in on Friday 29th April 2011, starting at 1800 Zulu (which is 1900 British Summer Time).
We will be recreating the very first EHM flight which was from LSZH (Zurich) to LSZB (Bern) using a special commemorative B1900D in a livery based on our VA's first paint scheme. We will then have a second leg (as the first is a quite short hop) from LSZB to EGLC (London City) with its exciting steep approach ;)
More details, such as preferred routings and charts, will appear shortly. Participants may fly online on IVAO or VATSIM as you prefer.
Please sign up in this thread if you would like to join us for this very special occasion, indicating your choice of network :)

A wonderful sunday evening
We're indebted to Yves Graf and Hermann Lehmann for their outstanding work on FreeZ v0.9 for X-Plane, which has been released this evening.
There are two versions: While the Ultra version comes with static aircrafts, the Standard version is completely free of static aircrafts.
Thanks for your work!

And of course for FS9 and sorry for the guys who fly with FSX I think is in progress :(

I've been very busy with other things, IRL stuff, bla bla bla....
Also I have to be somewhere the 29th at 8 pm (the fly in starts at 7 pm for me) so is there any info as far as ETA?
Post by: EHM-2387 Eric-Jan on April 21, 2011, 08:45:46 pm
So in your case, Mariano, you would probably only have time to fly the first leg, sitting at LSZH around 1800Z. That time is fixed, I'm afraid. But it would sure be great to have you around for the first leg :)
Post by: EHM-1465 Dominic on April 24, 2011, 03:31:39 pm
The specially designed commemorative livery is now available for the PAD B1900D and also the PMDG payware B1900D on the Fleet pages :)
Fantastic work by E-J (PAD) and Alexander (PMDG) - thanks guys!

See attachments below...
Sorry, I can't attach the LSZH charts here as there are too many, even split into four zips - the upload kept timing out! You can however download them all HERE (http://www.vacc.ch/file/35)
Useful info available HERE (http://www.ivao.ch/ba_cms/public/index.php?cmd=smarty&id=2_len) from IVAO's Swiss Division ;)
And useful info for London City from THIS LINK (http://ivao.co.uk/atc/quickview/lclookup.pdf)

Fuel load for the first hop?
Post by: EHM-1997 Alexander on April 28, 2011, 07:01:13 pm
EHM-1464 LSZH to LSZB
EHM-00057 LSZB to EGLC
It's easier to use the map though, under Euroharmony Class 1.

Post by: EHM-2381 Ted on April 29, 2011, 05:26:24 pm
I am going to do the first leg at the scheduled time (1800z) and then leg 2 to London City later in the evening around 2030z.
To be fair the only thing you really need to plot is the SID from LSZH for the first flight as its so short :D.
The second leg via low altitude airways should bring you in for a DET arrival. Hopefully there will be ATC around for that as London airspace gets really crowded on a Friday night-at least on VATSIM.
Post by: EHM-2381 Ted on April 29, 2011, 05:50:36 pm
Leg 1 LSZH-LSZB
If the winds stay the same it will be a RWY 10 departure via WIL2D then as directed from the WIL VOR or via the WIL2M STAR into Bern (if no ATC) with a planned altitude of FL120.
If you don't have the updated AFCAD for LSZH you will need a different runway+SID as RWY 10 is the newer crosswind runway not included in original FSX.
Leg 2 LSZB-EGLC
BADEP BALIR KUBOM LXI SDI CVT CTL ABY BNE DET with a DET arrival to EGLC. ALKI3D is the proper STAR but I chose a NAVAID route for this leg. Easy enough to program in the FMS. I am doing this leg at FL220. The Bern departure is pretty much RWY heading and left turn to BADEP as the SID's are meh for this airfield.
Hope that helps!

When connecting to IVAO, I don't get any Beech liveries to select from the MTL
I checked the MTL and there aren't any more Beech models to download.
(http://i56.tinypic.com/p7mdh.jpg)
Is the Beech 1900 no longer supported or something?
Otherwise I'll pick an airbus a380 and look completely ridiculous...

Happy Brithday EuroHarmony ;D

Not a huge participation but those who attended did have their share of online flying fun. The first leg was good to "touch and feel" the B1900D (I admit I had never tried this version before), so that we can handle the delicate approach at EGLC.
As a bonus, we had ATC over Southern England, and this was a welcome change after just following the published procedures in Switzerland.
Everyone who showed up made it to the finish.

I have recorded our manoeuvrings with FS recorder, so I can replay and take screenshots later. Haven't had time for a report yet, because I had to leave right after the flight to EGLC, and I won't be back home 'till Monday. But I will suree make one during the next week ;)
Thanks to all that flew along!

Came online a bit earlier cos I knew I'd have problems with IVAO or other things. Effectively, what gave me the most trouble was Flight Logger, I'll detail my misadventures with it on the support forum.
Shortly after I was joined by Eric-Jen, and when we were chatting about conditions and choosing 28 as our active to depart right West, as there was no wind, when Alexander and Andrei joined us.
They went through their checks and startup in record time since EJ and I had to leave as soon as possible to attend some matters (I had a self-defense class myself and the instructor gets really pissed when we are late! ;D)
It was a short flight but it was definitely fun, it was a real shame I couldn't make the hop to London, but I hope everyone had fun on that one too.
I did this final shot as a sort of "creative randomness" to commemorate the 10 years, I hope it's to your liking
Cheers EuroHarmony, you guys are a lot of fun every time.

I like it when pilots get so active and creative as you. Must mean we're doing something right ;)
