  1. hi all, i do miss the RTW activity, are there others, and could we find a common ground to organize something along the lines? regards Leon
  2. Guys, i have been rebuilding my pc the last couple of weeks, seems a bit longer before i can rejoin. regards Leon
  3. i got one locked wwaypoint in my flightplan, i quess we skip that. it was the now closed military airport soesterberg where the aviation in NL started
  4. no subs but this videao shows a F27 flight whcih was regular between amsterdam and maastricht i will be flying the F27
  5. Dear All, my first attempt to do a flight for saturdays leaves me with a flightplan off 233 nm covering the basic airports of NL. i might need some assistance, or we drop a few allong the way. EHGG;;Eelde Our Northern airfield where reginal flights and charters are landing and departing WP1;;;;;;;;;My home 🙂 EHLE;;Lelystad airport in the midst of becoming the second largest regional airport in NL EHSB;;Soesterberg AB (closed) the NL aircraft industries started here EHRD;;Rotterdam for a short hop along the coast EHAM;;Schiphol well known -> https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=EHAM EHKD;;De Kooy Navy we might skip this one EHGG;;Eelde finish given the distance a fast one is welocme, although i would appriciate a Fokker aircraft since we have build them in NL a spitfire, easily the most beautifull aircraft or a leg in a DC3 scenery wise, true earth is the best NL scenery out there. Good freeware NL2000 https://www.nl-2000.com/2010/05/nl2000-version-40-download-instructions-and-locations/ is available, with addon airports. i propose a fly-inn start where the participans will come in flying to EHGG and display a move over the runway, but i leave that up to your choice. Fill in the sheet at the server, so that we can skip the subtitute phase we seem to go through each session. Best regards Leon flightplan -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/69wu1einxzp750v/tourNL.zip?dl=0 dutch aircraft fighter of the ww2 https://www.rikoooo.com/downloads/viewdownload/52/753 video of so peaople building the D21
  6. The anticipation For me the race is the annual event, for which I do a lot of flight simming in the first place. It is a unique way of transforming the solo event of flying into a sportive event. On top of that it is a bonding experience with a bunch of at least the same minded pilots from across the globe. So right after we landed the batton for the final time in the race. For me I am already think about the next race. Been doing so since 2004. When December strikes the urge for flying the race becomes more profoundly and I start training on fast warbirds, but also looking around if any new interesting plane come along which might be worthwhile as a new racing plane. The training Since it is already know to veteran pilots, your IQ seems to drop a significant amount under pressure, so training is in order to keep the plane in the air, and do take offs in fully loaded over weight planes and land them safely at the tiniest airports, under all weather conditions. I looks so simple, but even though you are a veteran pilot offline, you have a travel companion called murphy when flying the race online. Ans fore sure he will come along, at the worst possible times , count on it. The Crew You might be doing the flying behind your own screen behind your own computer, but you have a crew of team members to spirit you along. The crew will stand by your side with advise on airport conditions, weather variables and all things flying related. The route you fly have been drafted together by team members in consensus, but the final say is the pilot in the cockpit. If for a very good reason you have to divert, you are allowed but knowing it will almost cost you the race, the last years, I cant remember anyone doing so. See why training is important. Sliding your plane at the desired airport will give you an unbelievable sense of accomplishment. And not least important the compliments of the crew. The wingman Flying with you on your 2 hour leg ( or shorter if you fly fast) is your wingman. My personal motivator to be at least as fast as he is, makes sure the batton carrier is at his utmost. Pushing the plane as fast as possible. In case of emergency, your wingman will take over the responsibility for bringing in the batton. In my race of 2019 I was flying wing, when the computer of the batton carier decided to listen to murphy and shut down. Below is a first line account of the actual event. That sure was a intense flight, having the batton dropped into your seat just before we were about to land. Teammates tell us there is a < 1NM visibility clouds snow etc field elevation at 900 and out of the clouds at 1200, not a lot room for error. trying to get a fix on the runway, my heart skipped several beats, i can tell you. Lucky for me my team mates talked me in, which took a bit longer then i wanted but finally i saw the PAPI coming up. realizing i still do >250 ish so i had to Put all the anchors and breaks the P38 had. Came in high and fast, and after a few hops stopped just short of the cross in runways. using up 2/3 of the length of the runway but i made it. the all green duenna does not reflect the hazard with which this flight has been flown but being my last it sure was a memorable one, could not have done it with out the team. That is is in a few lines the spirit of air racing RTW2019. The stewardess None of the pilots would be in any shape if it was not for the stewardesses on board. Wifes and girlfriend and family also make the event possible, if it only is because the husband is allowed to be online a considerable amount of time during one weekend a year. The chat Almost as much fun as the flying is the chat about the event in the teamspeak online environment. When pilots are enroute and none batton transfers are pending, there is time for yokes and small talk. From a hard boiled egg to the ending of the A380, we have discussed it all. Of course we keep a close eye on the other team and events that are unfolding before us, but the race would be less a social event if there was no place for small talk. On final, landing, green Duenna Posted , post up confirmed I have batton, confimed rolling and on my way That is basically the couple of absolute intense anticipating and batton handover. Posting the results on the form. And if everything went well a deserved rest from flying for at least the next leg. Before you go you prepare your plane at the next airport set to go and keep track of your cellphone. I has happened that you receive a urgent call from across the globe with an immediate pilot shortage requesting you fly another leg ahead of original planned list. The summary For now 2019 is foreseen as the last iteration of the race. It is with sadness that I can reflect upon 14 years of online racing. With a close knitted group of AVSIM team members. I have volunteered to be a member of the committee to think up a new form of racing that might attract new pilots in the future. Rest my thoughts until now, and extend my gratitude to the executive committee who have made the race possible over the last years. I think none of us realize how much time is spent organizing such an event. In my opinion the event is a sportive event, where 2 teams strive to gain the ultimate honor of winning the virtual throphy for this year. 2019 is the closest finish in race history, reflecting the professionalism found on both teams and the fact that The batton carier of Sim Out House was the first to congratulate AVSIM is sportive at its best. Well done Leon
  7. batton at KUNU Text / Tracking That sure was a intense flight, haveing the batton dropped into your seat just before we were about to land.
