Thanks Gents, 'tis beginners luck, surely. But nice to know I have duenna working as it should.
Now tell me, on arrival does duenna log the end of the flight the moment you touch down/ turn off the runway proper/ or not until you park and switch off?
For the immersion factor it would be nice to taxi to a suitable gate, taking in the airport scenery, waving to the spectators and generally feeling good about being down safely. But if all that is adding precious minutes to the logged time, one would perhaps be better pulling off the runway at the first opportunity and switching off on the first bit of infield grass you come across (?)
Off to plot safe passage through the (old) Yugoslav mountains . . .

When you post your next leg include the text file. I will show you how to read it.

Thanks Dave. Will do.
Thanks also, Rob for your tip re: scenery - sounds interesting.
Ok, here goes the next leg. LYBE - LGAT
Duenna logs your position from the time you start duenna to the time it ends. Normally we say picks up the Baton and Drops it as start and end. This is Baton time in the log.
Flight time is the time you leave the ground until you land.
In the log OnGround = 1 is when you are on the ground. = 0 is of course flying.
The logging intervals I have never been able to figure out what exactly changes them.
The program logs more frequently when on the ground. Once in level flight it looks that the logging goes to ever 10 minutes.

Thanks Dave, I can now relax on touch-down and enjoy 'cruising' to a suitable stopping place at each new airport. :salute:
Hi Paul - thanks for posting the pic of your Orion - nice clean look there. It's a shame so many attachments from the older posts are gone. I saw plenty of comment on the skins people were lining up for this race with in 2009, but sadly there are precious few viewable now.
Of course, I had a close look at your race report post to get approximate flight times for this bird. As you say, it's very nice to fly - just looses the competitive edge through its range limitations, but fun - yes!

I found the MacRobertson scenery package for FSX.

I forgot to mention
The baton should drop when you come to a complete stop.
If the winds are strong enough you may need to turn cross wind to get the baton to drop. That will only happen when the winds are over 45 kts which is the default baton pickup speed.
