Hi.

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

Hi,

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 ;)

Thank you for your response Dominic
I changed my user name to EHM-2684 Andrew

WSSS-VOBG it works.

I created a scenery VOBL in "Airport Design Editor" and pasted "bgl" to Addon Scenery\scenery\

Hello David and Trevor,

Saturday or Sunday morning should work for me....Evenings these days are booked for the world Cup... ;)

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... :-[
loooking forward to some assistance,
Thks
Cheers,

Gian

Hi.
I had the same problem.

David and Gian
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.

The thing is that in real life, VOBL does exist, as does VOBG. Both near Bangalore, VOBL to the south, and VOBG to the north. So they are both existing airports, only not in any sim (not in MSFS, but also not in XP)

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).

Cheers,

Hello,

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!
Thks for your help
Cheers,

Gian

The original problem with VOBG vs. VOBL is fixed as well now.

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.

Your PP location was reset, because  VOBL no longer exists. I tried to relocate you to VOBG, but somehow that did not work correctly on my iPad (no laptop or PC available at the moment)
Maybe you could set a deadhead to VOBG? That should make the flight lockable again for you.

Setting a deadhead would-be be the thing to do for all pilots having used the VOBL BGL Solution to get. out of WSSS.

... And perhaps you'll need to uninstall the VOBL BGL fix, if that one "renamed" VOBG to VOBL ...
