Worldflight 2010 is starting Monday November 1st at 2230 UTC. Worldflight Australia is a “virtual” round the world flight to raise money for the Australian Royal Flying Doctor Service. It has grown to 15 teams in full cockpit simulators, flying on VATSIM.http://www.worldflight.com.au/worldflight/whatisit.phphttp://www.worldflight.com.au/booking/schedule10.phpThey have a good flight plan and FMC Files available for download.

Leg 1 YSSY-NFFNIt was a little sketchy because I got called away before the flight ended and luckily was able to save it.

Leg 2 NFFN-PHNLTaking the Concorde out for a leg. The flight was good even though the Duenna is red. I did not have the crash tolerance slider full right. REALISM/CrashTolerance: '0.990000' (NOT GOOD)I have fixed this and will check on next flight. The Duenna is logging refueling errors. Not sure if this will invalidate the duenna. http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=doah7BzoamTdgzb02LXZwme0FYs

Hi Jeff,Same thing happened to me (Refueling Error of 20lbs) on a flight from SCIP - SCFX. I tried to post on John's website about it but wasn't able to post. Emailed John about the posting problem and he replied saying he would check into it... still can't post there, so don't know if the posting problem is on my end or his still.http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?flight=EVM1x0a9FuTXZMCH7piOwAXZCzY(what's this about not being able to post duenna txt files? :( and :(

Leg 3 PHNL-KSFOOK, Duenna setting good and no refueling errors on this flight.http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=65pzIAOpXUUCDYt6ex3dJNKCZMI got distracted and only started down 140 miles out. Had to add a little extra time to get down and slow down.

Hi guys, Hope all are well . Thought I`d join in and take an old BA Tristar (heavy) up to Seattle :) KSFO - KSEA . Checking things out and all seems okay :) Bit of a short leg for the "Rocket" Conchttp://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?flight=zaiht6DBIZenBmBsvDpfltdmvI

After having a great summer, I began suffering from a withdrawal condition known as NRBO (No Rosier Brothers Online). To help combat this very painful and lonely experience, I applied for and was accepted by (having passed their short test) British Airways Virtual (they still have openings btw).Below are the BAV stats for an interesting route I mimicked taken by CPA873 (a Cathay Pacific B747) on 05Nov2010. The Jetstream between FL300 and FL400 is just brutal right now. ASE Eastbound winds (via the more Direct Route to Japan) are upwards of 140+ kts... and sustained 120kts to 130kts. Hence the circuitous Westbound route.

Leg 5 CYQR-KDENA slow fight down to Denver in an Airbus A320. Not the best commercial jet transport to fly in a race.http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=XdxfEMOYVpBK02Hi0ikQU6K7MdE
