But this time too it's guessing first, flying next, so don't start your engines yet. Moreover, being a little frustrated that you guessed too quickly the previous event, I'll try to make it a little trickier this time (evil grin).
First clue, however, should be (relatively) easy to figure out:

In the meantime, here goes the next clue.
Andrei
Post by: EHM-2758 Peter on April 03, 2014, 08:53:56 am
Has it got anything to do with these two airlines: Northwest Airlines (compass pointing north-west), a major United States airline founded in 1926 and absorbed into Delta Air Lines (camel and pyramid) by a merger, which made Delta the largest airline in the world.
The link between Phoenix, Singapore and the tastefully looking cake remains a riddle to me, however.
Peter
Post by: EHM-0695 Scott on April 03, 2014, 09:24:41 am
Clues:
(1) 25th Birthday Cake signifies the introduction of the -400 series 747 in 1989
(2) Phoenix AZ was the destination of the first in service flight of the 747-400 (departed Minneapolis)
(3) The Compass pointing Northwest, Northwest Airlines was the launch customer of the 747-400
(4) Singapore was the departure airport for the first "International" flight of the 747-400 by Singapore Airlines (Singapore to London)
(5) Camel (ignoring the pyramid) representing a clue as to the "hump" shape of all 747 aircraft.
Shot in the dark but at least some of the clues fit the theory.
Cheers all!
Post by: EHM-2097 Andrei on April 03, 2014, 12:16:50 pm
To be more precise, Scott managed to perfectly see through ALL my clues and is 6 times right (5 for the clues and one for the general idea).
Stay tuned for the event details, it will most likely be published this week-end.

That would need to be quite near the pole. But probably somewhere in Siberia, or so.
Congratulations, Scott! You're too good for this game ;)
Post by: EHM-0695 Scott on April 04, 2014, 09:03:12 pm
Well done Scott - ever considered a career as a detective ? :D
Ha actually yes. ;D It was the Singapore clue that kinda through me off. I felt the "first international flight" explanation was the weakest of my theories. When the compass appeared I had less doubt. ;)
Post by: EHM-2097 Andrei on April 05, 2014, 10:38:48 am
Just for the kicks, this should have been my final clue (if Scott had not guessed everything already), what do you do of it? It could be very easy... or not, depending on how much attention you pay to details.

Post by: EHM-2387 Eric-Jan on April 08, 2014, 10:12:28 pm
What I did manage is to punch in a KATL KPAE flight (and back, just o be sure no-one ends up stranded there after the event). Made it a Class 6 flight, so pilots can choose from a wider variety. Will be 744 for now, of course, but after the event ...

After June, my PPL theory will (hopefully) be done. Until then, I just can't promise anything regarding sim flying. I'll probably start the event in the odd "off hours", as I find them.
Post by: EHM-2758 Peter on May 12, 2014, 07:55:19 pm
So, being back in cold and rainy Holland, some increase in weigth and completely sober ;), I made my belated first flight of the Event today. I really don't have a clue how far you guys have managed to fly yet, but is there a possibility that we join up for leg 2 or next ones? I guess that flying during the evening isn't an option, because of the length of the legs., unless we start very early.
I wait for your suggestions and try to make the second leg sometime tomorrow.
Meet you on Mumble!

welcome back home Peter! I see that you resumed "work" immediatly. As you have probably seen, a number of us are already sitting at RJAA. It would be nice to plan the RJAA-VHHH flight as a group sometime during next week... but not too late in the evening....it should be roughly 4 hour flight...I've read that David can not make it before 19.00Z....that means we should have a lot of coffee on board...Let's see how things will develop....

I'll be having my last Air Law lesson next Thursday. After that, there's one more exam training session, and of course the exam itself. No other theory courses to go to; I have passed 6 out of the 7 exams. So next thursday is the last of the mid-week evening theory sessions, so it looks like my calendar will show some more flying time available in the near future :)
I have only flown two legs of this event, so I need to do some catching up. But I'm on my way!

I would like to perform a flight from WSSS to VOBG
I have default scenery WSSS and VOBG.
In Flight Logger "Flight" WSSS-VOBL is not green.
What do I do?
Thanks
Post by: EHM-1465 Dominic on June 13, 2014, 02:42:52 pm
Can you please include your EHM-ID in your posts as it makes it much easier to work out who you are :)
(A short time later) I see from searching your previous posts that you are EHM-2684 and you are shown at WSSS so you should be able to fly the leg from WSSS to VOBG (not VOBL as you put in your post?). When you load Flogger does it ask to update scenery etc?If so, do you click YES?
If you can provide a bit more detail we will have a better chance of working out what's wrong for you ;)
Post by: EHM-2684 Andrew on June 14, 2014, 01:27:47 pm

Any chance to have it organized? By the way, my FL indicates VOBL and not VOBG....as indicated in the description of the event...Any idea how this should be dealt witH? It would be frustrating completing the flight to VOBG and then find out that you cannot send the flight log...after 4 hour flight... :-[

I created "AF2_VOBL.bgl". It is in Annex
Try to paste the "AF2_VOBL.bgl" to Addon Scenery\Scenery folder.
When you load Flight Logger update scenery.
I'm not sure if it will work. I use FSX. But you can try.

Post by: EHM-2387 Eric-Jan on June 18, 2014, 05:42:54 pm
I think it's best to re-route the Event to VOBG, and avoid these issues alltogether. (Which I actually now see as the consensus, and marked "done" in one of the management board threads; and on the site, admin, maintain events, there is VOBG as well. Maybe we need to re assign the Event to the contestants to get their leg lists updated, or work some behind-the-scenes database magic).

Unfortunately, I could not complete the flight on line with D and T yesterday morning >:(. but only in the afternoon (alone...). Trevor traced me on IVAO and explained to me on Mumble why I could not file my flight log......(database confusion between VOBG and VOBL, in spite of having downloaded VOBL scenery to be able to start the flight.....Rather complicated and frustrating. Therefore I still appear sitting at WSSS while my FL recognized me as "arrived and parked" at destination....but "denied" me the right to file my log..
Trevor said that the issue wad brought to Andrei's attention and that it will probably be solved soon...I hope then to have that leg validated. I tried to modify the coordinates for the arrival place, but found myself in the middle of the ocean, on the North of Colombia (D&T will probably understand what I mean ;)...Anxious to know the outcome and hoping won't have to repeat this 4 hour flight!

The legs were originally defined with "VOBL" and when we changed to "VOBG", we did not realize that the old (aka wrong) code would still hang out in some web site tables. We just updated those too and everything should be fine now.
Pilots may receive an error message and FL4 will propose to start a new flight (which is the RIGHT thing to do). Then the correct code will show up in green. If this error message does NOT appear, it is still better to start a new PP flight.
Oh, and just in case you wonder why some pilots did not have this problem, it's those who joined the event after the legs were changed.

Maybe you could set a deadhead to VOBG? That should make the flight lockable again for you.

Somehow, I managed to move Gian to VOBG too, but Trevor's PP location got stuck at 04UT (the first one in the list, because VOBL no longer is in the list there). Not sure why it worked for one, but not for the other. Message said changes would take effect only after the pilot has loged out and in again, so maybe: Trevor, you need to log out and in to the website for your PP location to miraculously change to VOBG. Otherwise a deadhead to VOBG will get you there within 24 hours ...

I am using the default FSX 747, with vasFMC in order to be able to fly some real routes, FMC-wise. That FSX default G430 just won't do for IFR flying.
But as I just re-installed vasFMC (haven't used it in over three years), I am still a bit rusty as to procedures and control. I am just not confident enough that I will be able to promptly and correctly respond to ATC during the take-oof, climb, descend, and landing phases.
Plus: I'll want to use accellerated time during cruise, otherwise I won't get any sleep before the last working day of the week. And that too is not really accepted on IVAO, of course...
Once I build up some more confidence with vasFMC, you'll find me flying heavies online again. ;D

PAX were not happy with those moves, but in the end they all got off the plane alive, which should count for something too, right ::)
Anyway: I will be using VOBG-OMDB as a training flight ( = offline ) too.
Maybe I'll join you later on in the Event (if there are legs left to fly ;)). I will anyway only be flying on weekdays, in the evening, and not on Wednesdays. So maybe I'll plug in Mumble on Tuesday anyways ...

I kinda have the departure bit under control by now, but the arrival bit keeps throwing me unexpected surprises. (Would be weird if it were expected surprises, I guess, huh?)
I have flown off-line all the way to TNCAM already, and there I needed three attempts to actually land the plane. On the first attempt, the auto-throttle kicked back in, because the Airbus-based FMC works differently than the Boeing FMC I am used to. So no matter how hard I applied the brakes, it just revved up to 105% N1 to reach those 140 knots that were dialled in previously. => Go around. Then, vasFMC crashed, so I was "convicted" to the Out-of-the-Box FSX GPS (G430). Which is OK, because at least the approach procedures are in there. So "vectored" myself to the IAF again, and by then I had already selected the approach to rwy09 (...). Coming up on minimums, the aircraft started turning right; performing the missed approach procedure. Apparently, it defaults to a missed approach, unless you uncouple the autopilot before that decision point.
As that was too close to the runway to correct, I let the 180 degree turn roll itself out, and "vectored" myself to the IAF again, for a third attempt. During that attempt, the landing went well, only the reversers would not kick in. I found out later that my throttle quadrant was the culprit here; the button assigned to deploy the reversers does not work every time... :( But I managed to stop before the water, nevertheless, so I could dock the plane at the new terminal building, and that was it.
Still, I would not want to encounter that on-line, with ATC present. So I'll just keep on training offline for a bit. Maybe I'll join in on the VOBG-OMDB leg with you guys, next Monday, if I feel confident enough to fly the plane. Chances of ATC are not that great, for that leg. And I'll probably cut it short a bit (log off before OMDB), because my alarm clock goes at 05:20 the next day, and 1900Z departure is 2100LT for me, soa 4-hour flight won't leave me much sleeping time - and that on Monday already...

And, if you don't mind, I would like to use my camery myself within about ten days time! ;)
Meet you on Mumble soon!

Hi FolksHi T, for me only possibilities for flying together, (LLBG-EHAM) I mean I'll do it Monday 21, Tuesday 22 or Wednesday 23 (between 1900 - 2200 Zulu) as the last day for me, because have to work and weekend with my family near the mountains. Hope to see you then ;)
I am on holiday from 11th - 21st July, so I hope to complete the next two flights before Thursday evening; this will
save any panic on my return, as the last day for the OMDB-LLBG flight is Tuesday 22nd.
Will hope to see you for the LLBG-EHAM leg ;)

I have progressed on to TNCM already, and as of Tuesday, TNCM-KMIA is open. Nice short hop, relative to the other legs in this event. And then the last leg the week after. I need to complete that one that week, because I'll be on holiday from after that week onwards. So I want to finish the event before my holidays.

Hi David
I will manage the LLBG-EHAM flight 19:00z Wed 23rd if that's still ok with you; its time to download some up-to-date charts. :)
Hope to see the rest of the team on later flights. ;)
Post by: EHM-2589 David on July 22, 2014, 03:29:56 pm
See you then T ;)

If any other PP long-haul pilot like to join us, keep in touch on this thread.
See you then and hope to fly together the last one with Gian, E-J, Andrei, and so on... ;)
Post by: EHM-1882 Gian on July 25, 2014, 10:49:25 am
Indeed EHAM-TNCM is a long haul (around 9 hours....)...
As far as I am concerned, I would be ok to fly the last leg next week (29, 30, 31 and maybe 1/8....). Hope it will work for other members of the "usual" team.
It would be great completing the tour with a group flight!
We keep in touch ;)

I'll be trying to do the final leg this evening, after crashing yesterday evening, 4 hours into the flight. Still don't know why... ??? So I'll be flying this one offline as well.
One whole event offline for me, that is. I guess flying heavies long haul is not for me :P
Post by: EHM-2589 David on July 31, 2014, 05:37:27 pm
Some pictures to share :)
TNCM-KMIA 02/08 or 03/08 start 1900 zulu
KMIA-KPAE 04/08; 05/08 or 06/08 start 1900 zulu too ;)
See you then and any other proposition is more than welcome 8)
Post by: EHM-2387 Eric-Jan on August 01, 2014, 12:33:11 pm
I did the last leg last evening, with a block time of 1 second less than 7 hours. Flew it online (...), so without time compression.
Strong headwinds meant relatively low groundspeed. Man that is a looooonngg flight. I am just not made for long haul! Hehe ;D
Post by: EHM-1829 Trevor on August 01, 2014, 02:35:52 pm
Congratulations on completion E-J; yes 7 hrs is a fair old trudge. ;)
It was third time lucky with take-offs at EHAM yesterday morning. :( Firstly, after about 10 minutes of flying, David noticed i had
selected the wrong flight on FLogger ; the day before I had booked a charter flight EHAM-EGLC, which had still to be done. :-[
My second attempt was aborted on take-off due to the main instrument screen's blacking out; probably due to a involuntary Key-press.
Anyway I put it down to an age thing. ;D
Apart from that, a good time was had by all.
David mentioned, TNCM_APP was on-line; a welcome sight as it was busy with inbound flights.
As for the next leg D, tomorrow evening will do fine, 2/8 19:00z
Post by: EHM-2589 David on August 01, 2014, 10:21:40 pm
See you @ TNCM-KMIA 1900 zulu 02.08.14 ;)
Post by: EHM-2589 David on August 02, 2014, 02:45:57 pm
And not sure if is possible to fly KMIA-KPAE at 1900 zulu, because is another long-haul as E.J. said (7 hours). Only possibilities for the last one are: 05.08 (start between 1400 - 1500 zulu) or 12.08 (start between 1100 - 1200 zulu)
Hope that works for the last one too ;)
Post by: EHM-1829 Trevor on August 02, 2014, 05:37:55 pm
Hi D
14:00z on the 5th works fine for me. ;)
I have copied the flight plan for tonight, see you there.
Cheers

Hi Folks
Thanks to Andrei and the rest of the M/T for the planning of this event. ;)
Nice Pics again David; looking forward to the next time :)

Congrats to all 7 out of 14 participants that managed to fly all 12 legs within the designated time frame, and on PP!
Also, a big thank you for those pilots that got stuck somewhere down the line, mostly because of time restrictions. This event was characterised by longer legs, which (of course) are more difficult to plan in between every day real-life buzz. Especially so over the summer holiday season. I hope you enjoyed those legs you did get to fly. :)
I hope you all enjoyed flying the Queen of the Skies.
Happy landings!
