Dear pilots,
I would like to propose (sorry Murray for not telling you earlier, but I forgot) a Fly-In for our first leg (or maybe two, know knows!) on the F1 Event!
The first leg is from Geneve (LSGG) to Kuwait (OKBK). It's about 8h trip and I'm sure it's going to be a very nice flight.
The route could be:
LSGG SID MOLUS UN871 ALGOI UT23 DIMLO UM859 SOGMO UL606 MAVIR UY570 TEGRI UL605 BULEN UP975 SIV UW710 ARPUT UP975 SIDAD R784 DESLU STAR OKBK
I would propose to start about 09:00z so we can finish it not too late ;) ...
Regards,
-
Excellent idea.
I'll try to join you guys. I won't be doing the actual flight though, as I would prefer to spend my 7h block in the evening/night.
If it does go on, I'll be there to join you for the first few legs.

Unfortunalety I will miss that since this weekend starts the Vendimia Feast here in Mendoza, Argentina and I have co-workers coming from 900 Kms just for the weekend.
Besides, flying and drinking wine is not recommended. For the pilot, I mean.
Have all a nice and safe flight.

Bruno, well done - I'd forgotten too ;D
I'll chuck your route into the fly-in manager (I started to build the event...) and publish.
EDIT: Check the "Online Flying" section of the main website, event and route are there. As per the new event management system, please register on the event if you are intending to take part.

i most likely can fly it since 0900z is 5pm here, so 5+8=13, 1 am end for me, can eat dinner during cruise beside my computer ;D and i can sleep late ;D;D;D

Ok Murray. From here you lead on.

Hello,
I am planning the flight on FSNavigator.
I expect flying at FL 400-430 and with a speed of 260 KIAS equal to 505 TAS. Regardless of wind, the FSNav gives me a flight duration of about 5 hours. Would it be right?
As far as the fly-in is concerned, is it going to be Saturday March 3 or Sunday March 4?
Regards,
Luciano

I am not going to be able to join the fly in because of school :'(
We have saturdays at school during high school over here...
I'm just going to do the leg offline tomorrow afternoon
Have a nice fly-in! ;)

Hi,
Yeap, the flight is less hours than what I said ... 6 hours should be enough for sure.
The event is on saturday, and starts at 09:00z.

If you take the enroute distance and uses 400kt as ground speed, you get a little under 6h of flying. 2370:400=5.925
So if we don't hit just headwinds we should be able to make it in about 6.5 to 7 hours

Then it is March 3. The Online Flying Dept shows March 4...;)

No it doesn't ;)
Cheers for the spot Luciano

Gentlemen!
Right now, I am testing our B 747-400F F1 model and so far I found two bugs.
1. When the engines are shutted down there is still remaining a sound very alike working APU. No harm, but this is very unpleasant and unrealistic. The sound of working engines is hilarious! I talked to Roberto but we couldn't find the solution. Does anybody know how to remove this bug?
2. More serious is the bug concerning COM 1. This device is placed in FMC frame down right, but doesn't work. You can't change the frequencies, even if you see + and - sign. Right under is COM2, and this device is operating normaly. I just finished the testing with making a direct contact with Paris RDR, and it works perfectly. So, for everybody who will fly online on IVAO network, don't worry. ATC works absolutely perfect using our aircraft's COM 2. Just set the proper frequency and here we go.
All other systems are working perfectly and all the reactions ( Flight dynamics ) of the aircraft are very realistic. Just a few warnings: takeoffs are the best with flaps 10 and lift up at 180 kts. This can be done much better if you calculate the quantity of the fuel and don't start with fuel at 100%. After take off, set the speed to 265 IAS on your autothrottle-it's enough to pass 10.000 feet ( PP problem ), then you increase the speed. When landing, don't forget this is a huge and heavy parrot and so she needs a lot more room for manouvring. Especially this is important when you land with APP button pressed on ILS localizer. Start establishment on ILS much earlier and she will sit down on the rw as an angel. Good luck and many splendid hours during this event.

... hmmm ... that means you'll not join the event Peter ? ;D
LOL ....

Peter,
For online flying the radio issue isn't an issue at all; you could use IVAP/FSInn(Copilot)/SB3 to change frequencies on COMM1, or hardware for that matter.
;)

Thanks Peter,
that was a very useful and enlighting post esp. for those of us who have little experience on the 747.
Did a few landings at the first leg's arrival and it's true you need much more forward planning and anticipation than with other planes.
Thanks a bunch

Hi pilots, I'm flying right now the first leg and I am travelling at 536knots, so I am going to be able to finish the leg in about 5 hours, but I'm doing it offline, so during the fly-in you'll spend around 6 hours ;)

I just remembered, the VATSEA Event is on the date and time, so i wont be flying with you guys, have fun! im gonna fly it now :]
