RTW 2010 Practice 1 Thread

Recommend runway 32 if going to BGSS. Terrain "issues". (Big hill on the other end). There's only a small hill on the end of 32...
 
nice place you sent me.
that would be fun in daylight and clear.

after 5 or 6 attempts...
crashed
so it goes

I'll try again tomorrow
after work, if I can.

I can vouch for that.

You asked, we answered. I've been scouting these airports downstream; few are good, most are bad, lay the awful weather and darkness on top and these are really tough.
IFR and ability to shoot precision approaches (if available) are almost mandatory. Scud running in this area will be continuous.

This, in the end, is probably way harder than Paul intended for a first practice session for it can shoot confidence dead; especially for new recruits. However, the real race will not produce this constant difficulty so expect the next practices to have some "normal" flying conditions.

Practice, practice, practice. One can only learn to fly in this by doing it.
Godspeed.
 
Baton free BGSF

Hairy landing-43 Kn tail winds became 43 Kn cross winds as I turned on final,seemed I was going faster sideways than forwards,but they relented just as i came over the numbers

Next question-how the heck do I upload the Duenna?There seems no "upload file" option,& I know for real that you have to do it ASAP

If it is working properly, the Duenna will have saved 3 files on your hard drive. Two of them are small text files, and the third is a jpg image. They should be located in a folder here:

C:\Program Files\FS-Addons\RTW-Duenna\OUTPUT\2009-12-15\
(your folder path may differ, but you get the idea)

Use the forum file upload function "manage attachments" to attach the jpg file, and the FlightLog text file. The system log file isn't required.

Good job on that landing at BGSF! :applause:
 
Thanks Spookster.Im an idiot,didnt even think of looking in the "go advanced" bit of the posting options!

After BGKK,may I suggest BIPA,across the water to iceland,lit runway,& although having a few hills nearby,the approach is over water.
 
Yeah if you use the Quick Reply box to post it does not have the upload function. Normally you would use the "Post Reply" button.

Using the Quick Reply box is still a good way to do it because your first post should simply be

"The Baton is Free at [ICAO]"

Nothing else and posted as fast as you can.

You should post your Duennas and text log within an hour. We like to see that done within the next few minutes but the Rules allow an Hour.

Good job everyone this has been a Great Poor weather Exercise...

Somebody can turn it off any time. :icon_lol:
 
You guys are doing great. jkcook28 is right – I picked this route with the idea that it would provide bad weather, which is good practice. It’s kind of hard to say now that the weather turned out worse than I expected, even though it did. My only fear is that some new pilots or even potential new pilots will have been or already have been discouraged. This is much tougher flying than we will see in the race. So as long as it doesn’t kill us, it will make us stronger!
 
BGKK
sfc winds now calm but that may change .. had 133/28 a few min ago
Rwy 11 is best.. strobes, lights. gravel & rough surface
