Hello all,We would like to announce that bmi Virtual is now up and running.Our web address is www.bmivirtual.co.ukWe operate all bmi flights, along with the bmi codeshare flights with both SAS and Lufthansa too. Schedules are updated along with the real world bmi schedules, and using the VATSIM network for all flights we aim to make realism our number one priority for our pilots.If you would like to join the VA, you can find the pilots application on the main website. Or if you would just like to find out more email your queries to [email protected] in mind there are still some things to finalise with the site.Thanks for reading...Tim GlitheroAssistant CEO - bmi Virtual

Shame it is another one of those VATSIM only VAs. Not everyone enjoys flying round the world during the day when there is no ATC or other online aircraft.Sorry guys AI is a little more realistic.......... :-)

Hi Liam,Yep, we had interest in the VA within the vatsim network before we set up, and we thought we might as well keep it linked to VATSIM.I see your point though, and as we have not yet incorporated everything into the site yet with pilot log books etc, we might consider allowing flights to be flown offline as it is nice to fly with AI Traffic. But initially we thought of having flights just being flown on VATSIM as it is easy to check whether a flight has actually been flown by someone, and that the PIREP filed is valid.But yep thanks for bringing this up, and we will consider...CheersTim

Nice setup guys.Good Luck Graham & Tim

Guys just to warn you unless you have prior permission i recently wrote to bmi about starting my own VA based on them. They told me they have no intent to allow use of their logo. However unless you have permission go ahead i'm joining to :)

Good luck guys.I hope you got permission for that domain name. That's a serious trademark issue if not.Eric Thorntonwww.virtualATP.org
