One thing that is important to do is keep the rest of the team apprasied of your progress as you fly your leg. Provide regular updates, with "ETE", or time until you land. This is very helpful to the next pilot, preparing to grab the baton for the next leg. Since it is not required to fly online in multi-player, the next pilot has only this thread for updates on your progress.
Have reached cruising altitude of 25,000. ETE 1:06.

Have a pretty good tail wind at 25,000. No northern lights yet. ETE 0:50.

ETE 0:30.
Flying online tip: Re-assign all single-key commands to some combination that you are unlikely to press while typing in the multi-player chat box, because often you think the chatbox has the keyboard focus, but it doesn't, the sim does, and you end up dropping the gear, activating time compression, and slew mode. Very frustrating, and worse, duenna will invalidate the leg.

Weather report
Winds on the ground 0 kts at 193 degrees.
Which prompts me to ask why if FS has 0 kts of wind does it show a direction.
Visibility 60nm
Terrain very flatish in the default mesh.
Runway has lights
Runway 8 is your best approach
Should be a cake walk.

Thanks JC. Bit gloomy eh?
At altitude. ete :45+
ETE: 20+. Doing 422 KTS GS with nice tailwind. Hint of dawn in the distance.
Baton is free at UEEE.
Big thanks to JC for weather updates and terrain spotting.:salute:
Well done, everyone! Like JC said, don't by shy! Looks like the next leg is a semi-no-brainer (UHMM), given the scarcity of airports out here in East Whodathunkit, Siberia! 620 NM.
