Dear pilots,

The Lisbon Dakar 2007 event has been announced!!!!
This one will be another challenge, but, fortunately easier than the last one

.

Rules to follow:

1. Send an email to bruno@fly-euroharmony.com to reserve your airplane.

2. There will be no spare airplanes, so fly all legs carefully.

3. The flight dates are respecting the real life legs. So, We hope you understand that we need to follow real life dates.

3. We will only load the reserved airplanes.

4. The airplane will be a special Beechcraft 1900D made by our "Fleet Guru", Robert.

Use this thread to post your comments, suggestions and questions. We will answer them all.

Nice work! Will the special B1900D have PMDG textures?

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #2 on:** December 22, 2006, 07:54:11 pm »

Nice sounding event, no chance of being able to do schedule though as per previous event. Good luck to those who can.

I'm gonna miss this too!

EHM-1703 Philip · « **Reply #7 on:** December 23, 2006, 01:44:19 am »

Don't worry guys, Bruno is working on a fantastic event to begin a little later in the year which has a much slower pace....... and also much longer legs as well!

(I hope I didn't say too much!)

EHM-1657 Jay · « **Reply #8 on:** December 23, 2006, 08:48:52 am »

Bruno can you confirm you got my email please ? ( don't wanna miss out

)

EHM-0948 Bruno · « **Reply #9 on:** December 23, 2006, 11:29:15 am »

Pilots that I already got an email:

- Steven Mitchell
- Javier Goh
- Luis Nunes
- Ben Contreras
- Jay Kae

The "usual" pilots are reserved !

... Welcome to the party boys

I also would like you to comprehend the strict flight date interval. We want to stick this to reality as close as we can. But, we will listen to you if someone has a very strong motive for not flying the event due to certain dates.

Regards,

The Dakar... I have been waiting for this for a year now! I cannot WAIT to see the special Beech !

EHM-1001 Robert · « **Reply #11 on:** December 23, 2006, 12:49:57 pm »

The aircraft repaint will be done after Xmas. As the Freeware Beech texture is almost identical in size with the PMDG one, it is possible to do it for both

EHM-1695 Hélio · « **Reply #12 on:** December 23, 2006, 05:47:11 pm »

Hello guys...

Last year i made the Dakar on my private aircraft, but this time i would like to do the rally with Euroharmony colours. However i have a problem... I will see the Portuguese part of Dakar on that days...

It's Possible to arrange a Delay schedule to me, in order to only follow the rally on the specific dates after Portimão?

If not, i understand!

EHM-0948 Bruno · « **Reply #13 on:** December 23, 2006, 09:16:12 pm »

Hi Hélio,

We are opened to ideas, so what we will do this time, and due to the strict deadlines for the legs, we will listen to all the delay questions from our pilots and take the necessary measures to try to solve everyone's problems.

We are thinking about delaying the first 3 legs of the event, to match the last date from the third leg. In this case, the first three legs will end about 7th or 8th January ... But we will continue listening to your problems and take a decision on the next week.

Regards,

EHM-1883 Matt · « **Reply #14 on:** December 26, 2006, 11:21:00 am »

Sorry about this Bruno but your E-mail address just doesn't seem to work for me, but you can sign me up for Dakar!

EHM-1009 Kevin · « **Reply #15 on:** December 26, 2006, 09:54:44 pm »

i want to take part in this event but work funny hours due to my job in the leisure sector and sometime work past midnight and had problems in last event completing the legs on time:( hope this changes

EHM-1657 Jay · « **Reply #16 on:** December 27, 2006, 05:44:49 am »

Uhoh problems guys ....

http://www.dakar.com/2007/DAK/presentation/us/r3_1-news.html#art16825

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised against the organisation of the 10th and 11th stages of the 29th edition of the Dakar. The rally organisers, who resolved to follow the recommendations of the Ministry, have thus decided to cancel the two Nema-Timbuktu and Timbuktu-Nema stages, programmed for the 16th and 17th of January 2007. In spite of the extensive surveillance and the guarantees provided by the Mali authorities, this precautionary measure is vital in safeguarding the security of the competitors.

Initially planed in Timbuktu, the appointment with Mali where the welcome of the spectators confirms the interest of the nation’s leaders for the Dakar, will be pushed two days later.

The sporting teams of the rally having considered an alternative solution, a loop stage Nema-Nema, including a timed sector of 376 kilometres, will be organised on the 16th of January. The following day, the competitors will enjoy half a rest day, and will then take to the road for a liaison stage of approximately 280 km towards Ayoun-el-Atrous (Mauritania), where the start of the stage will be given on the 18th January, towards Kayes (Mali).

EHM-0948 Bruno · « **Reply #17 on:** December 27, 2006, 11:16:35 am »

Great.. on that case we have one more rest day

I will change the event legs as soon as possible.

Hi,

Thank you Tamas!

I corrected the legs due to the latest organization changes. We also have one more tolerance day on the beginning of the first three legs to help some pilots to catch up.

The HTML page has beed updated.

Also, tomorrow I will receive the tail id's from Robert, and will send all the emails to all the signed up pilots

We are also testing the new Lisbon-Dakar Beech. I can tell you it's going to have a spectacular texture! And there will be a special PMDG version too

Regards,

EHM-1821 Javier · « **Reply #20 on:** January 02, 2007, 04:48:38 am »

Ooh!!! Nice!!! I cant wait to get my hands on the scenery and the plane;D

EHM-1657 Jay · « **Reply #21 on:** January 02, 2007, 07:33:45 am »

Awesome stuff !!!

EHM-0948 Bruno · « **Reply #22 on:** January 02, 2007, 04:43:52 pm »

... We also have added two more legs at the end to bring the airplane back to Lisbon. These legs have about 10 days to be done.

Regards,

EHM-1752 Luciano · « **Reply #23 on:** January 02, 2007, 09:42:15 pm »

Ok more news...

1. I have given all the tail ids. Some of you received an email from me asking for the pilot id. Others I sent a U2U message because the email got bounced back.

So, please check that you have your airplane tail id. If not, please send me an email again.

2. We had a mistake on the leg list, so we deleted the leg E013 and adjusted the numbers accordingly to that.

Regards,
