Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on October 18, 2006, 01:12:35 am: Hi fellows,

For those who are event-maniacs, I must inform you that the next event is almost finished.

The analysis part is done, where we had choosen all the legs and the baseline history for it.

I can give you some clues on it:

- Going to be much harder than the last one, with visual approaches and very short runways.

- Going to be in Africa.

- Going to have a Cargo Airplane.

- Going to have about 24 legs.

Start counting gentleman ... the next event is in countdown!

Regards,

Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1821 Javier on October 18, 2006, 12:10:35 pm: you have to lock your plane on Propilot, you can do it online or offline, there is a time limit to complete each leg of the Event, no certain number of hours required ;D

Post by: EHM-0471 Peter on October 18, 2006, 07:38:55 pm: Woooow, Bruno. That's something for me. Love flying such flights where the electronic hell is not obligatory and human brains are involved including the pilot's skills to fly good. And the best part: WINTER evenings are almost here!

Well Roger, theres a whole lot of people from my part of europe that spend a lot of money for just that. Going to Thailand and places like that.
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1980 Brian on October 20, 2006, 10:20:51 am: a hot sunny christmas just doesnt have that special feel for me.... lol christmas is a time of cold and hopefully snow and nothing but nice long periods of FS sitting beside a nice warm log fire ;D ......... ( if i had a log fire!! ) but FS will do all on its own! :]
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-0471 Peter on October 20, 2006, 12:08:07 pm: Ben, if so, I'll send you some Christmas pictures from Rangoon, since I'll travel there on Dec. 23rd for 16 days travel all arround Myanmar ( ex Burma ). But in general I agree a 100% with Brian!!! He made only one mistake: beside all the winter idila it counts a glass of good wine or something shorter, but stronger!
LOL.

Peter
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1980 Brian on October 20, 2006, 12:15:56 pm: ha ha yes indeed Peter..... how could i forget the most important part but may i suggest that instead of a glass of wine we go for a strong hot irish whiskey to warm the ol' cockles during the christmas cheer ;D
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1505 Phil on October 23, 2006, 07:50:53 pm: Seems I came back here just in time for the fun to start. A great summer break from everything including flight sim and a guy arrives back in the autumn to a new look forum, a new version of fs being released and more importantly, a new Pro Pilot event... how could life possibly get better ... Oh Hell ... gotta go ... got Jessica Simpson at the door :)

Post by: EHM-1883 Matt on October 23, 2006, 10:00:52 pm: ok, anymore clues? I always get worked up with excitement! First it was the New Livery, then it was FSX, and now this! lol!
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1671 Ben on October 24, 2006, 03:47:27 am: The world tour is a lot of fun, great sense of achievement after alnding at YSRN (arrival of the big class 7 flight from South America). I'd recommend it to anyone ;)

More on topic, I don't think there are going to be anymore clues, we're just going to have to wait and see!! ;D

Post by: EHM-1671 Ben on November 03, 2006, 04:51:15 am: Wow, GREAT JOB ROBERT! That U.N. logo looks like it will serve as part of the storyline to the event ;D;D Thanks very much for relieveing some of the anxiety!
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1612 Paolo on November 03, 2006, 05:19:19 am: wow...that plane is great!! the 777 behind is fantastic!!! Will it be something like london to algiers and then you start an UN "african tour"???
Great Job robert...it is really stunning
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1821 Javier on November 03, 2006, 05:20:01 am: Wow! Looks great!

@Phil: is that the new EHM AI package?;D
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1001 Robert on November 03, 2006, 10:23:05 am: Thank you. The new fleet is on its way. I turned to the final stages but do not want to hurry with release.

I guess that 777 is our Meljet model. It can hurt in fps to use highly detailed models for AI ;D
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on November 03, 2006, 10:23:27 am: Hi,

The airplane behind the MD-17 doesn't have anything to do with it.

Also, the event will be released tomorrow! ;D
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1651 Christian on November 03, 2006, 11:46:58 am: Well this is going to be real fun to fly;D
And the MD-17 looks much better in the new livery, with the UN logo it look's even greater:]
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on November 03, 2006, 05:09:44 pm: Hi mates,

The Event developing is almost completed. We expect to release it at any moment from now on.

Also, the event will start next 10th November with a mega fly-in for the first flight (ok, the first flight is complex, landing 100% visual on a grass runway :o ).

So, practise, practise, practise as soon as the event is deployed! You cannot crash your airplane!!!!

Also, the event will be the most difficult one due to the airplane weight for visual approaches, so you need to control it very good!
The event will have 13 legs, and it's related, as you already noticed, with UNHCR. More will come there.

We also want to capture your attention to one of the biggest problems in the world: The poverty and the food and water rarity that is on Africa.

So, I cannot say no more! ;D ... The event will be released very soon ;)

Regards,

Post by: EHM-1671 Ben on November 03, 2006, 06:33:15 pm: I'm scared now, I can't honestly say that landing a four-engine aircraft (possibly fully loaded with cargo) on a grass runway is something I'm experienced with!! I'm sure it will be a lot of fun, though. Can't wait to get the rest of the information ;D;D;D;D;D;D
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-0471 Peter on November 03, 2006, 06:50:37 pm: Yupeee! Wow...that's something for me. I like to ride these iron sky horses coming down to some nice green grass runway.

Peter

Post by: EHM-1947 Miko on November 03, 2006, 07:08:50 pm: Extraordinary aircraft and brilliant livery :) Makes appetite on flying it - of cause land it on a grass airfield - where else ;) - what are we famous EHM Pilots for? ;D

Post by: EHM-1980 Brian on November 03, 2006, 07:28:45 pm: i hope someone mows the grass before we land ;D or would it be better to have long grass to stop that big bird lol....... :8

If they leave the grass long, our engines will mow it for them ;)

Post by: EHM-1465 Dominic on November 04, 2006, 03:25:51 am: Well it's been released ! I guess the rest of you are asleep...;D

Congratulations to Bruno and the MT for this one - not only does it look like an interesting set of flights but it also makes us think about the serious problems of the Third World. Bravo!

I'm impressed with the Events page too, lots of information about the flights & destinations...

I've been practising with the existing MD-17, can't wait to test out the new one!
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1612 Paolo on November 04, 2006, 03:41:41 am: wow...this event is amazing, difficult airports, grass, on most of all, the meaning of everything is really important, the world really needs to wake up...
Great Job!!!

If a Antonov 225 or 124 can land on an ice runway, why cant a C-17 land on grass?;D

and you might want to change that to "loaded fully with food";)

can i book my plane here?:]

Post by: EHM-1671 Ben on November 04, 2006, 07:06:03 am: I just read the evetns page, what a great cause and theme for the new event. Well done and a big thank you to all who developed it!

A little tip the egines of the MD-17 are possible to reverse when airborn, if braking for is need in air. Just like the DC-8.
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1821 Javier on November 04, 2006, 05:06:56 pm: I just found something (Thanks Matt;)), is it compulsury to fly at the allocated time? or is it just "for show"? or do we set the FS time to the given time?

some flights may be very early for some people while some very late. :%
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on November 04, 2006, 05:29:16 pm: Hi, that's the FS time, not the real time ;D ... It's just because of the visual landings, you need to "see" the runway ;D ...
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1671 Ben on November 04, 2006, 06:09:42 pm: So, as usual, will be have a three day period in which to lock the plane and fly the event? I am really looking forward to flying this event... sounds awesome. Thanks! ;D
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on November 04, 2006, 08:11:52 pm: Hi,

No, you need to send me an email to reserve an airplane for you. In answer, I will send you an email (respectively) with the tail-id for the airplane.

Last Minute Notice: You can download the UNHCR from the fleet page!!!! I will update the Event page also.
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-1671 Ben on November 04, 2006, 09:15:59 pm: Hi Bruno, I sent you an email last night asking for a plane reservation. I haven't recieved an email response yet so I don't know if you've gotte it or not...
Title: Wahoo
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on November 04, 2006, 09:37:55 pm: Yes, I am getting all the emails from all of the pilots.

Wait for an answer from me... Tomorrow, after I load the airplanes, I will start answering them.

PS: Use the other forum topic that I made also for the next questions. This topic is closed from now on.
