Milton,

Not to interrupt here, but any chance that this cat will be ready before the 30-day deadline?

It is now available, since last March :-) There is a FS9 and FSX version under my name.

This is the FS9/FSX portover version. As I recall the FSX version has FSX native textures and cannot run in FS9.

To see both versions, go there.

Oh, okay.. missed it!

Perhaps the committee should be notified, in attempts to get it on the white-list. Looks like the range might be a bit better now?

They are aware I suspect. Rob (SrGalahad) asked last week about it, and he has the link.

The flight model was not changed except to lessen the p-factor a bit on takeoff and correct suspension issues.
Changes were documented in the readme.txt

Very good. Thanks Milton!

**Spookster67** · January 17th, 2015, 08:25

I have the baton WAMM to WASK, A2A P-51H.

**Spookster67** · January 17th, 2015, 09:50

ETA 5 mins

**Spookster67** · January 17th, 2015, 10:03

Baton is back at WAMM

Couldn't find the unlit strip that was hiding among some trees on the edge of the sea.

**Milton Shupe** · January 17th, 2015, 14:57

I have the baton WAMM to WABB in the Section8 F-86

**Milton Shupe** · January 17th, 2015, 15:55

Ran out of fuel (forgot my external tanks), could not quite make land, hit the drink.

Baton back at WAMM

***PRB*** · January 17th, 2015, 16:52

Hate it when that happens...

Have baton, WAMM - WASS, FSND 727 (a.k.a "Seattle Three-Holer")

**Milton Shupe** · January 17th, 2015, 16:55

Wingman for WAMM - WASS in the Citation X

***PRB*** · January 17th, 2015, 17:18

Thanks Milton! 30 minutes out. More or less.

***PRB*** · January 17th, 2015, 17:35

10 minutes. Last post before landing.

**Milton Shupe** · January 17th, 2015, 17:50

Wingman down and safe (Whoops, I thought you had already landed since I left well after you)

***PRB*** · January 17th, 2015, 17:59

Good thing you flew wing, Milton. FS says I crashed on landing, so I guess I did. Not sure what happened. All was going swell.

**Milton Shupe** · January 17th, 2015, 18:03

Rules require that I land after you I think so you could hand off to me so this would not be a legal flight, right?

***PRB*** · January 18th, 2015, 04:25

I think it's ok if the wing lands first. But I do have to officially declare the wingman transfer. According to last year's rules, this can be done retroactively (or at least retrospectively...) So, I officially conjure the Wing Transfer Rule, upon the occasion of my crash.

**Spookster67** · January 18th, 2015, 07:36

I have the baton, WASS to WAKK, A2A P-51H.

At 719nm it's slightly over the 700nm, but there's nothing else on the south coast of Indonesia just short of 700nm.

And since all my flights in this part of the world seem to be in the pitch dark, I'm pleased it's got a lit runway!

**Spookster67** · January 18th, 2015, 09:11

ETA 10 mins

**Spookster67** · January 18th, 2015, 09:25

Baton is free at WAKK

No worries on that Spook, per the rules "There is an absolute distance limit of 750 nautical miles for each leg.", not 700nm.

True, for last year's race. But we set "ground rules" for each practice, among them, in this case, the 700 nm limit, with the "exception" that Martin made use of, correctly (see post #1). In past years we would limit legs to 350 nm during practice sessions, to ensure more people got to fly. That was when we had a lot of pilots...
