Hi

Leg 01 with default FSX on IVAO

EHM-2036 Javier · « **Reply #35 on:** January 06, 2009, 12:46:59 am »

Hi, Luis:

Nice work there! How I wish I could fly this event. I feel so envious now after seeing your presentation...

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan · « **Reply #36 on:** January 06, 2009, 02:29:33 pm »

Now that we start heading south: charts for a.o. Mali, Chad, and enroute charts can be found here:
http://www.ais-asecna.org/en/index.htm

Undoubtedly, there are more sources for charts, but I just happened to stumble upon this one, and I did not want to withhold it from you.

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #37 on:** January 06, 2009, 09:52:03 pm »

Anyone that's not completed the first leg yet, and likes to fly with real-world weather (like I do, ASA in my case) there were some big storms near the coast on my run down just now; cruising at FL190 and having to contend with heavy turb due to the thunderheads.

Looking forward to Saturday and Leg 2 though

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #38 on:** January 10, 2009, 12:52:47 pm »

Leg two real-world weather report for those of you setting off today, there's a fairly strong (50kts+) wind at FL190 brg 240 or thereabouts and it's got moderate turbulance in it. Cloud cover hasn't been at all bad the entire leg and there's no precipitation.

For those running ASA already (Active Sky Advanced) I've submitted a WXPIREP about the turb (there now being 3 WXPIREPs mentioning turb in the locality). It's worth noting that FSX's Flight Planner has sent me a really strange route, but it does mean I'm now inbound to DATM from TMS (over 250nm!) which basically means it's a straight-on 50kts+ headwind

Good luck everyone yet to fly this leg.

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan · « **Reply #39 on:** January 11, 2009, 11:01:00 pm »

Mmmmm...
flew leg 2 yesterday (sunday 11th), and had some bad turbulence at FL190 indeed.
I managed to collect 400+500=900 PP "points" because of it.
All because of escessive G-forces! This while my landing was a smooth-as-silk one, according to X-Pax with 130 ft/min. vertical speed. I usually bump on the tarmac with 500 to 1000 ft/min. (I still am learning how to fly...

)

The bright side is: I got my landing lights and baro settings right this time, so there is progress!

See y'all for leg 3. I am planning to do that on tuesday, take-off around 19:00(Z). Anyone care to join?

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #40 on:** January 12, 2009, 08:12:20 am »

Tell me about it E-J, I pulled -290 for an overspeed but I'd swear I was below 220kts the whole way. Such is life as a ProPilot

If you want to make your life a little easier, get Werner Schott's free B1900D checklist for flight sim usage. http://freechecklists.net/simchecklists.asp

EHM-1001 Robert · « **Reply #41 on:** January 12, 2009, 04:29:23 pm »

Just before 30 minutes left from landing I hit a sandstorm I guess. The windspeed raised to 99kts and the sight was "foggy" over the desert

Maybe you hit too that wind...

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan · « **Reply #42 on:** January 13, 2009, 11:06:14 am »

Today, for leg 03 to GAGO, nothing too fancy is expected, as far as the weather goes. Maybe the temporary reduced visibility due to dust can make things more difficult.

recent (13-jan-2009 11:00(Z)) TAF
TAF GAGO 130400Z 1306/1406 032008G18KT CAVOK
TEMPO 4000 DU NSC

There's a "0" too much in the wind indicator. I wonder if I'll go for the rwy07 approach, assuming (0)08 kts from 032, or for the rwy 25 approach assuming 08kts from (0)320... We'll see.

Higher up, the wind forecast for FL180 is only 8 to 13 kts from westerly directions (250-290)

So it should be pretty much smooth sailing this evening. See you all then!

Hello dear pilots...

Just to let you know that Franz (EHM1800), Trevor (EHM1829) and myself (EHM1945) will perform the 3rd leg from DATM to GAGO online tonight 13rd of January at 2000z . So feel free to join at that time, as it will make the experience more enjoyable :>

Hope to see a number of you guys tonight.

Take Care
Cheers
Kristoff

Hi,

I just joined the mystery-g-force club myself... After a successful visual + ded reckoning flight and an uneventful approach to GAGO, i touched down around 175fpm but "won" the g-force penalty.

However, it looks like I love my PP score more than my free time, because as I type I am trying the leg again after discarding that troublesome flight. No fancy visual route this time, I found the airport once today, now a straight line suits me well

EDIT: It finally paid off, but to be sure I don't get the same #$%& penalty again I took advantage of the long runway and made sure to touch down at < 100fpm.

Andrei

The Event is over for me... I thought I am 1 leg ahead in time and have not flown for 5 days... so I missed the next legs and stuck in the middle of Africa. Good luck to the EHM pack !

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan · « **Reply #48 on:** January 27, 2009, 10:49:55 am »

So sorry to hear that, Robert!

But don't worry, we'll send some rescue troops to come and get you out of that sandbox!

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #49 on:** January 27, 2009, 11:43:01 am »

Well Robert, it's sad that you've fallen like this, but if I don't get some networking soon I'll be joining you.

I decided to try installing the Windows 7 beta on my gaming rig (it was running Vista X64 happily enough) but the internal NIC drivers didn't get picked up, so I currently can't get on the Internet at all... Going to buy a USB wireless adapter at lunchtime which is known good (in Win7 X64) and see if that sorts my woes!

BUMP: Yay, an "old" Belkin USB wireless adaptor comes to the rescue; I have networking, just not wired, yet... Next leg, here I come.
