SOH RTW Practice #3

Good luck! That's the way to do it, jump in with both feet. Think of it as any normal flight you've ever done in flightsim.
 
damn that wasnt too bad-helped by no clouds, little wind and a nice runway of course
Some turbulence approaching greece, but nothing too bad, despite FSX showing 0 knots wind!

It is a good run but your Weather settings seem to be off.

Notice that yours shows

Info: Previous Flight.FLT/Weather/WeatherType: '1' (NOT GOOD)


The weather setting in my FSX Duenna shows

Info: Previous Flight.FLT/Weather/WeatherType: '3' (OK)
Info: Weather/DownloadWindsAloft: '1' (OK)
Info: Weather/DisableTurbulence: '0' (OK)

This is most noticable by the fact you had 0.00 wind on the flight which never happens.

The first thing you should do is save your default flight with Real world weather with 15 minute automatic updates. If your system will not handle automatic updates then use Real World Static.

In this case we would be recieving a penatly at best or be required to refly the leg at worse. Right now at 18,000 you should have been getting about 45 kts of Head wind.

Rob will need to make a call on refling or accessing a penalty.
 
I wondered about that! Duenna was Green all through the flight, and I d/l'd real Wx on a static basis-the system showed it d/l'd OK-i couldnt d/l real wx with updates as FSX said there was a problem with it, but the line on wind when pressing Shift + Z showed 0 knots-ie the wx at HLLB when i took off.Yet there was turbulence near Greece!

So..not a good start for me :(

sorry guys
 
Under investigation.
For now, continue with the route and decision will be rendered prior to last leg into LIRS

Kowalski65, post further info in the Thread: SOH RTW Practice #3 Tavern and Bull Pit in the hideout please.

Not a problem that what practice is for.

This came up in the meeting last night.

Try and set the weather (as default ) to auto update

Then when you enter free flight change it to real world static if you need to.

If at all possible leave it auto update. Be sure to allow down load winds aloft also. That may have been the problem and not the static weather.

You must have the weather saved as default or Duenna will not read it correctly when it starts up.

Create flight save as default restart flight sim. Check settings and correct if necessary then restart again.
 
After discussion, Leg : HLLB to LGAD is valid but a 15-beer penalty is assessed to Kowalski65 for extra workload.

Baton is now at LGAD and available

Rob
 
I'll take it!!

I have the Baton from LGAD to LGIO in a P-51D

Flight aborted - Baton back at LGAD..
