RTW 2017 Race Practice #0.1

I've been going through my "Race Hangar" making sure all my panel mods are still working, and making sure I still know how to fly the darned things. I will get a leg in with each of them at some point during this practice.

I've noticed some mesh altitude issues at some other airports recently so while I dig into that, I'm going to switch over to my FSX Steam install for further RTW practice as I have that version far less buggered up with add ons.

Will be interesting to see if Duenna works with SE

CP1207 and MaddogK, do you have access to the "Hideout"?

I do, havent fixxed up many planes yet. Got a race panel I've been using for years and only my Spit has it ATM. Is my priority today to set the rest up with it.

Okay, I sent a request to the forum moderator to add you.

There you will have access to other things we put together over the years to help during the race.

Enroute @ 28,5, GS 480. ETA 1:20

I hate to intrude, and I know I have been on a competing team, but just so you know: Yes it does, just as well as FSX Boxed Edition.
I have had FSX:SE since the day it came out, literally (I'm a cheap son-uv-a-gun, and only payed $5.00 :D ), and last year I did the Race almost entirely in FSX:SE. Duenna worked perfectly for me.
Just thought you might like to know.
I doubt we will be fielding a viable team this year, so I wish you all a great race :encouragement:

Hey Paul, ya come up with any idea what that Duenna error might be ? I thought I fixxed it, but it's still logging an error about not finding some ini file. Seems to recognize FS9 just fine, do I need to tell it where the FSUIPC ini is or something ?

Just hope the committee don't flag me on an illegal CFG mod now.
:D

Resetting, anyone want the baton ?

Changing radio settings is legal, same with panels.

Thank you Pat; that is good to know, and race-proven as well. :-)

Well, if Flightsim does not race, maybe you could join one of the two teams. ???

Bout 30 minutes out and I'm strongly suspecting a dead stick landing.

It's bringing back a memory of my first race deadsticking it into Kaitak. Seems I collapsed the Hornets gear that year.
:D

No PW needed for Lounge or Woodshed

It's gonna be real close on fuel, about 75 miles, and about 1/8 of a tank. Aprox 10 minutes till burn-in.

Thanks! I'm in and poking around.

Milton- I'll confirm Duenna works fine with FSX SE.
My iOS autopilot and nav programs (RemoteFlight) also are good.
Plan G does not work, I'll need to get simconnect over to the steam install apparently.

I bought FSX SE last year on sale and did little with it since. Loads a lot quicker and as I don't have every last payware and freeware aircraft loaded on it, I can actually find the stuff I want to fly.
:gameoff:

Down and green
Baton free VTUN
51 lbs of fuel left in tanks
:D

:a1310:
Glad that there's no waiting line for fuel.

Sorry MD, with Ickie's passing it went right off the radar, so to speak. I have managed to duplicate this phenomenon, flying dcc's P-38G in FS9. It looks like an FS9 issue with this version of the duenna. I'll ask Eamonn to take a look at it.

I have the baton, VTOR - ZJSY, FSND 727-200, Default real wx.

Made it. Nail biter! I flew only 500 nm with a full load of gas in the 727, enough to fly almost 3000, lol. So the ship was heavy on final, and not responding like I was used to. And it was dark. And foggy.

I have the baton, ZJSY heading to RPVM, in the FSND B722.

I've assumed it's a wildcard leg and given myself 1000nm. It's actually about 972nm.

ETA: 1:40.
