Did you use a fuel dump gauge?

Those have not caused problems with Duenna in the past, but changing the fuel or payload in flight is supposed to trigger a Duenna error.

We can examine the...

John Mueller has updated Duenna to Rev 131 to add some additional features for this year's race.

If you have not looked at the program - I recommend you download and examine Plan-G by Tim Arnot - http://www.taosoft.co.uk

It offers some very interesting options - works much like FS-Nav which...

Please remember in the race - the two hour time limit is based upon the forum date/time stamp on the "I have the baton" and "The baton is free" posts.

But also Rob points out the most important...

Every RTW race which I have participate in, or been a part of setting up - has at least three equal distance/ time routes around the world.

Yes, there are also a couple traps which are purposely...

I have used this as a reference in the past - a really neat guide to flying at night. And it covers some basics which are forgotten on occasion - especially about airport lights.

This reading in Duenna is well known from our RTW experience.

The reference point for ORBS in FS2004 is located at the takeoff end of Rwy 31L. The FSX reference point for ORBI is located near the...

I had one of those problem landings last time we did this race. It was over eastern Iran with the DH-89 Dragon Rapide.

I apparently hit the M key and turned off the magentos. Successfully glided...

Landed safely at Seltar in Singapore at 1030 local time. Spend a lot of time chasing favorable winds on this flight.

Getting an early start out of Rangoon headed for Singapore at 0405 local

After a quick refuel at VIAL, we set out for our longest leg so far - to Rangoon, Burma. Flight was pleasant with no rough weather. Good visibility across India, the Ganges delta and the upper end of...

The day's first leg was quick and not much challenge. Very low visibility at Jodhpur and most of the trip it was almost impossible to see the ground due to the haze.

Finally about 100 miles out...

Landed safely at check point #2 - Allahabad - VIAL - a 0856 local time

Had to climb and descend quite a bit on this leg searching for best wind. Visibility was terrible for most of the flight,...

Another fine day - heading out of Jodhpur (VIJO) for Allahabad (VIAL) at 0651 local time.

Down safely in Jodhpur - local time 1615

As usual the weather closed in as we approached Jodhpur. One reason to use this airport is that the NDB one the end of the runway allows us to line up for...

Leaving Baghdad at dawn on the second day, our first stop was Jask near the mouth of the Gulf. Very favorable winds and a short enough leg for a full power run. As usual near the Gulf, the visibility...

Much of our third leg from Crete to Baghdad occured at night. The sun set while we crossed over Cyprus. Made a faster trip than my last one from Larnica to Beirut in a CH-53.

But it was pitch...

My second leg on the first day was from Rome to Crete

Landed safely at Jask - OIZJ at 10:20 local - 06:50 UTC

Good thing the weather cleared in the last 100 miles. No NDB near this airport. Just a unique shaped peninsula which made the airport easy...
