Bah! Barring some sort of miracle tomorrow, I too am out. Flew S044 (I think) today, but it didn't get seen as a PP flight, and no way I can re-fly before tomorrow night. Good luck to the rest of you still in it.

EDIT: No miracle, can't lock the plane any more, so that's officially me out of it. :(

On the flight ops page, I see you still have the PP-A17 locked for the flight.
Maybe you could give it another try?

Really? I'll give it a go and see what happens, but I suspect it'll fail.

Hello guys,

there seems to be some problem or I did something wrong :[

I wanted to fly the EHM-S047 flight today but I can't, because apparently my plane is still standing in FLBA but I flew the leg EHM-S046 on the 10th of this month.
Checking my Pireps I noticed that the flight EHM-S046 was added two times to my flown flights and I received an eMail on the 13th that my locked flight (EHM-S046) will be unlocked again.

What went wrong?

I hope I'm not out of the event?

Thanks for your help and cheers

Sven

Sven,

Are you sure that one of the two submissions of S046 got seen as PP?

I'll check from my end as well, and if it turns out that sommat's gone screwy (always a fair bet) I'll manually shift your plane sometime soon after.

EDIT: Looking in our control panel, I've fixed the duplication of S046. Now to shift your plane...

FURTHER EDIT: What would a PP event be without one DB problem ;D All fixed now Sven, PP-A22 is at FLND for you and I've given a day's extension on S047 so you are good to depart now (today).

Hello,
i cant lock the current leg ( S049 - FAER to FAOF ) , when I click on my plane (PP-A14) in the lock flight menu, no flights show up.

Can i fly the leg and submit a PIREP without locking the flight in ProPilot?

Thanks,
Raoul

Yup, tried the same; had the same result: no available flights appear after clicking "my" tailnumber PP-A20.

Maybe the server that runs the logging software has its clock set to an incorrect time (so it thinks it is still yesterday)? I say that, because if I look at the time that PIREPS are supposed to be filed, they are quite different from the times I actually flew my flights, and from when I filed the PIREPS.

Nah, that can't be it. Bruce's last PP PIREP is for "tomorrow" 00:02(GMT), where it is now "today" 19:08(GMT).
So if anything, that clock is ahead.

Still not possible to lock a flight though. Will have to see if I find the time next Sunday ...

Just looked at the fleet operations map: there's no planes at FAER!
Only one at FLLI, so most of them got out OK, but then they all magically dissappeared...
Are we now lost in the South African Bermuda Triangle?

OK, I flew the leg and tried to submit the PIREP by filling in the WebForm, didn't work either.  :(

Hi,
can someone put my plane (PP-A14) to FAOF?

I have locked the flight, once it worked again but then submitted the PIREP over the web, as I have already flown the leg, when ProPilot was down last friday...

Once i am at FAOF, Iwill lock the last leg and fly it over ProPilot

Thanks,
Raoul

Thanks :)

But the next leg isn't lockable yet, I will wait this time though and fly it with ProPilot once the last leg is available :)

Same here, cannot lock the flight.
That DB doesn't like to be tinkered with, eh?


I had all sorts of things planned for this week's evenings, including the weekend, so I kinda set my mind to flying the last leg today. I guess I'll have to move some things around if I want to see the Tafelberg...

I'll try again tomorrow, and see what happens then.

Will need to be able to unlock the last flight so I can fly it on Thursday evening,  from 20:00(Z) at the latest. Otherwise I wont be able to finish the tour in time (I have other commitments on Friday).

Or an extension untill Monday evening would work for me too...

Anyone got news on when ProPilot will work again for the event? Would be a shame if it all broke down at the last leg :)

I now officially don't have the time anymore to fly the last leg before its deadline, unless the deadline is moved back.
I tried several times per day since Tuesday, but I just cannot lock the flight. Bummer!

Well, I will fly it tonight, I am sure they will push the deadline back, after all it is the last leg and it wasn't flyable due to technical problems. I consider it like a flight delayed two days :)

Gah! I'll try to have a look into this today and get it fixed. Pretty much regardless, I'll also push the closing date out to Monday (so Monday will be the last day of the event).
