Hi,

The next leg will probably be flown some time next week. There's likely to be an equipment change for the next leg.

Tom, it does seem to be a little strange that a flight sim show in the US doesn't generate the same traffic we have here in Europe. I've worked at the Lelystad show in the Netherlands and have seen 5000 people come through in the two days. Even in the uk this year, we had a new show crop up at RAF Cosford last October. In just one day, we saw nearly 2000 people come, with 800 pre ordered tickets.

Perhaps in the US, the cost of GA flying is so low compared to Europe, that pilots would rather fly than visit a fancon about flying virtually.

Either way, its real shame that you can't get people in. I'm fairly sure that distance isn't an issue, as then?Netherlands show sees people travel from across the continent. Hopefully this will change in the future.

Best wishes,

Jess

Thanks Mario. I've got wick covered but nice find for Cardiff. I'll look into the GPS issue for my next flight.

Sorry guys. Real life has gotten in the way. See new post though for an update.

Stay tuned guys. I think the next entry is due today. :-)

Thanks again guys. Carrotroot, I was hoping it would come across as fair without being either to harsh or to easy going.

If I may be so bold as to suggest that you also put a plug in for uploading freeware to the AVSIM X-Plane library too... LOL.

Oh that's a given Tom.

Thanks everyone. Next blog post is going to be a bit less controversial. It'll be a freeware roundup. Basically stuff I've found this month to play with.

Thanks Tom. Much appreciated.
