Hi to all who flying vatsim or would like to start . I would love to ask if would be possible to organize some events just for airchald va for weekly group flights. What I mean is that we would somehow vote or just randomly choose airport to fly in and out nothing long nothing too short so most standard size of planes could be use and then contact vatsim if they can provide as with some controllers in such locations. I am sure they wouldn't be against as sometimes there is no enough pilots or controllers . It would be good for new on line pilots to start and for as who fly on line regularly , nice practice and enhancement to our onboard radios to here air child air child again and again . it would also brushed of spider web inside the speaker use for air child team speak as I have never had a chance to speak child to any pilot from our VA , I am sure they all are nice pilots with lots of stories to tell and perhaps more experience pilot to give good hints while flying on line . Please Drop the line if you find this topic useful and you think you would be participating too . Cheers Petr :yes:
 
I would probably be NOT able to fly (hdd limit for scenery, time limit for flying), but with quite big luck i can coordinate world flight event (737 or simmilar siutable, max leg distance around 3000nm). Have almost all ready, just need to doublecheck routes up to date...
 
Good idea. I'm definitely in for this if it should happen... (my flight times are on European evenings)
 
Hello

I'm also in, maybe I'll learn something new, and practise a little bit. My preferable times are saturday evenings.

Greetings
 
I flown 3 times with Drzewiecki in his World Tour, and that was hell lots of fun, especially, when Staszek shared his voice channel on random unicom frequency (we have teamspek for that). Staszek tried to get at least some ATC on routes, but even shared flight is fun, especially, when we fly in larger group - like holdings on destination? or being "lost" in vor/ndb navigation in nrnav space? or try land boeing 737 on airfield that barley siuts to halt/start such machine?

Flying Drzewiecki World Tour of dangerous airports (i think that was in year 2010) should be NICE, that includes some small airports or landing in interesting areas like greenland, himalayan or some small islands on pacific, or even one of longest ice airfield far on south pole :) Staszek already agreed to make ACH world tour on his route, including using his data of routes (if still valid) and scenery database.

I would happly fly that, probably with 737F, but unfortunately i have lost my box of XPL during last summer (total house renovation, few stuff moving cases etc) and currently have only 1st disc image on hdd - having only part of USA and europe installed, rest of world is water... Need to get that DVD back and install for flying on rest of world, including those nice flight....

World Flight 2009 Extreme Approaches, organized by Drzewiecki Design Air Transport in cooperation with other virtual airlines, is a global event taking place on VATSIM network in April and May 2009. The whole project consists of 27 main flights and 18 extra flights around the world, that makes 45 flights in total. Pilots participating in the event will visit 7 continents, 25 countries and 41 airports. All airports have exceptional approaches - technically demanding, non-standard and famously dangerous. The experience you get during World Flight 2009 Extreme Approaches will change your flight simulator flying forever. Plese keep in mind that this is not a beginners' event. Pilot's basic experience and knowledge is required as well as all sceneries installed, charts obtained and RNAV equipment in your aircraft with AIRAC cycle operating. Only aircrafts with a range greater than 3300 nautical miles can fly with us as there are some long legs over an ocean with no refueling possibility.

I had Lockheed L-1011-500 for few flights at begining and then Boeing 787-9 in that event. Staszek used slightly modified 737-900. Bigger airplanes have enought fuel capacity for longer legs whoever there is few demanding airfields with not so long airstrips, so best is to have something from mid-low size. As far as i can remember airplane should have possibility to fly over 3300nm (plus emergency range) and land on runway of something around 4000ft (1300m). Did i said that this world flight is demanding? :) And one more notice... One of legs runs quite close to north pole, and FS does not like it very much, so there is option to little alter this whole set of flights and add few more locations, not exacly interesting to visit but farther from poles and making lower airplane range requirements (because of shorter flights overall).
 
Hi ,thanks to all who shows interest . Now pilots I think we should more think of from and where to we going to fly. For the start I would definitely choose some schedule flights ,so we have all same waypoints and also choose some suitable time . I am in Australia so time is very different ,but I would gladly adjust might time to yours as would prefer more people to see participating . As next just to make sure team speak is working I would get on team speak with participants to test it . I personally did use team speak but never had a chance to use it on air child team speak . If anybody could suggest some time to get a bit of the chat on team speak that would be great . { just for test before flying } Lastly I think we shouldn't do it to much overcomplicated just make the flight and see how it goes . Please next suggest some Departure and arrival airports pref RW length not less then 8000 feet ,so 747 pilots got chance too. Length of route for beginning I would suggest not less then 800 not more then 2000 so we get the chance to chat and see some controllers around . Please do send some suggestion as time and place .
Cheers Petr
:hi:
 
Hello,

that sound great, I fly on a fixed (friday) day with some guys from the VACC Austria and that is a lot fun. There we fly on a journey around the world.

At LHA we flew to different points. The arrival airport's name has to start with the last letter of the departure Airport. (First was from Leipzig to Glasgow, from there to Westerland and so on. During the month all pilots can vote for one of three destinations... and the flight take place on every last sunday of the month at a fixed time (2000)

Regarding TS I have the problem, that I have never seen someone on our TS Server. I'm online nearly every evening. So we can try to find a day/ time where we can test these thing.

For our group flight I would also prefer a fix day. Saturday looks good for all time zones. But I believe, that one flight a week is too much. I would recommend to start with a flight from one of our bases - maybe a non european hub.... I have never been in South America, or in Australia...

I will be online tomorrow (monday) evening - there we can discuss further details...

Hi that is great , I nearly thought this idea is death . Saturday works fine for me and the time as well . I am personally open to any location around the word that would give chance to others where time is very different . It seams you have a more experience in organizing group that would be huge advantage as it seams to me there is no any movement .

So to move forward so far we have Saturdays perhaps every second we will se how we go from there.
Time 2000 I can get from the bed ( I think) ,but we have to adjust the time to location to see some controllers as well ( think) .

Next we need arrival and departure airport ?
Team speak would be good to use however yesterday I couldn't log in so have to work on that .
Hope seeing more replays over this topic please .

Cheers Petr happy flying :yes:
 
Well I think the time difference doesn't seems to be a problem.

Local time Melbourne 2000 is 7 o'clock in the morning in Brazil, and somewhere in between in euorpe. If we start on a saturday every pilot has a lot time for recovery after such a flight I think o sunday everybody has a day off (except Doctors, Fireman and pilots with nearby profession.

It is -10 hours in Warsaw so It is about 10:00 a.m saturday if I counted correct. fine for me, but maybe we should stick to ZULU time.
 
Ok Zulu time is surely more specific . To get departure airport for the first time I wouldn't mind to fly from EDDF to anywhere around 2-3 hours flight if that is ok . please who is interested let as know .cheers petr
 
Ok, than I would suggest Iceland as the first destination...

From there we could jump over to the USA - and there we could find a lot of places to go....

Or we fly into the north of europe to Sweden/ Finnland..... or may Turkey or Greece Aera...
 
Hello there

count me in but not before 16th cause from tomorrow I'm starting my holiday and I'm cut off from the computer.
One more thing. I've been reinstaling my laptop and after that I've got problems with online flying cause voice ATC disapearing. Anyone knows why? I'm f;ying listening to the ATC and then bam it looks like radio is swithing off. I've to switch frequency and then for a while everything is ok? system windows 7 FS9 on administrator rights.

Greetings
 
I think, the best way is simply start and look, how many pilots will fly with us...

Is there anybody able to place a voting thread or giving my the capabilities for doing that? Then I would start another thread with a day our first flight will take place and the destinations, we are going to fly to....
 
Yeah that would be a good idea . I am hoping that Admin will come up with something for this flights.
Guys I am very open to any starting place and surely we should organize the very first on in Europe .
I am still heving difficulties to log in into teamspeak . If anybody could give some instruction to where and what to fill just to back check what am I doing wrong . Cheers Petr :hi:

Andrew will take care of this, later, and contact you. I'm too dumb to administrate the forum :rofl:
Actually I'm a bit busy. That's why I wasn't around lately. However, I'm still around to fix any tech problems and stuff ;)
btw: Great thread, guys. Thank you!
 
I would really like some vatsim experience indeed.. count me in .. I will find the time..:)
 
Hi Mustafa,
I am glad to hear an other airchild pilot . More info about our flight you can find in the forum on home page . It should have in the tittle " leg 2 " where you can vote which destination we going to fly . The flight takes off every first Saturday of the month and should depart from previous arrival destinatioin .
Happy flying if you need any help let me know I am glad you are going to join .
Cheers Petr :yes: :D

hi everyone
when is the next event , i would like to fly online with you
i have a vatsim ID

Hello Sameh, good to know that you have a VATSIM ID. But flying online means that you must have at least basic skills in flying your airplane. I have read in other posts that you have problems to operate your autopilot. That is one of the basics you have to know.

So if you want to fly online, please accept the kind offer from expierenced members like Petr. Otherwise you and the controllers don't have much fun flying online...

Best Regards
Norbert
