Great Ozzie

http://www.a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=42953#p324360 However, seems Lewis is still working on updating the links. I'll bump that thread.

I just PM'd him Rick. Hopefully you'll hear something soon. -Rob Edit (21:40z): Rick, I see Lewis has just responded to your post at A2A Forums...

Yeah Rick... just PM Lewis (Lewis - A2A). He should get you squared away. -Rob

Mouse over slightly to the right of those buttons...

There a thread Lewis started - New Update - GPS - Preview - the first pic shows the 750 & 650 together in the A2A C172. -Rob

Always nice when someone with experience steps in.

Money. Edit: Sorry... I found the real reason:

Hi Devon, In the U.S. there is §91.209 Aircraft lights. And (afaik) one will need a PPL (for night privileges). In terms of practicality (for flying at night), a motorglider could fit the bill. One will need a logbook endorsement for the motorglider - §61.31 Type rating requirements, additional training, and authorization requirements ("Additional training required for operating a glider - Using self-launch procedures"). If carrying a passenger §61.57 Recent flight experience: Pilot in command for nighttime currency will apply. -Rob Edit: I believe that for the motorglider, §91.205 Powered civil aircraft with standard category U.S. airworthiness certificates: Instrument and equipment requirements also applies.

Tom, Whatever words I try to muster seem desperately insufficient. Hurts to hear how serious your description of the cancer -- thank you for letting us know. Yes, a salute and sincere thanks for the work you have put in at AVSIM and for your support throughout the years for AVSIM's RTWR Race Team. My family's prayers for you during this unimaginable time - And for wisdom for you and the staff how to proceed, that AVSIM will continue to prosper in the years ahead. -Rob Osborne

Wingman down safely @ KBLU FlightLog_16-47-19.TXT

Hi Elaine, Sounds like carb ice to me. If you notice a drop in rpm, carb heat should be turned on. There's a couple other items to hit, like turning on the boost pump, switching tanks, checking mixture etc. Btw you did a preflight? Also, right after preflight, I like to check the Maint. Hangar. -Rob

I've thought that in the past... especially with the turnout we usually have. Even more so with the shortening of the race.

Yeah Ron... I reckon why it went over like the proverbial lead balloon (at least what I remember when discussed on TS last race?).

Hence why there was the idea floated of putting all names in a hat and divvy'ing up between teams.

Well... Jeff offered a very generous benefits package AND a re-up bonus. Tough to turn down.

TJ... some fixes (make sure to check): •Settings > Customize > Weather > Check "Download winds aloft data with real-world weather" •Settings > Customize > Weather > Uncheck "Disable turbulence and thermal effects on aircraft" •Settings > Realism > Uncheck "Allow collisions with other aircraft" - we don't want any "accidents" to occur because of that (or the questions and explanations that will follow ). •Settings > Realism > Click your mouse on the "Crash tolerance" slider and verify it is arrowed over Full Right. That is my best guess atm.

Poor guy... he'll never be able to answer you simmerhead. That is... unless he becomes the Master of Disguise and does the become another person... which I am thinking now (not that I really care) that is what the ban is about (previously banned). At least his altruistic sig wrt AVSIM is still intact.

•All A2A •All PMDG •Capt Sim B-52 (low level Mach 1 runs) & C-130 (antarctic landings) •FSLabs Concorde (Heathrow - JFK wildcard) •Xtreme Prototypes X-15 (thermosphere wildcard) •Vertical Reality F/A-18 (start working on your carrier traps) That should keep you busy 'till February. You do have paypal... right?

Not in my opinion. Four decades ago, the NTSB ruled on this type of operation. About two decades ago, the NTSB ruled again in a similar situation calling the pilot's actions an apparent willingness to engage in a kind of weather Russian roulette. Not the only two (unfortunately) btw. Better to learn from an Instructor who would (hopefully) impress upon an individual the potential for disaster in such a situation. And that pireps and forecasts constitute "known icing conditions" into which a flight is prohibited unless the aircraft is specifically certificated by the FAA for flight into known icing conditions.

Exactly! (the race should be 5-7days! those were the days!) I felt similarly (like being cheated)... As Blaine Edwards & Antoine Merriweather (Men on Films) would say... HATED IT!

Because you are always stirring the pot!

Ah don't sweat it Buzz.... Joseph just got done alienating most everyone in the U.K. This is just dis'ing the race committee and rtw racers.
