Beech Boy 2 has assumed command of King Air N406KA.

Departing Charleville YBCV for Darwin YPDN

[jt_dub]

Beech King Air N406KA down safely at YPDN.

Red bordered Duenna jpg due to FSX not responding in flight and Duenna disconnecting. After 5 minutes FSX displayed a dialog box stating that I had been disconnected from Ron's FSX multiplayer server and asked if I would like to continue flying off-line. I responded "yes",reconnected Duenna and continued the flight with several Duenna settings showing red. I respectfully submit this as a succesful leg without penalty and have sent results to 119 Picadilly for a formal adjudication.

Ron will have to take the 1 hour penalty for this one, Jeff. Don't worry about it...

Don't YOU start with the "Don't worry about it"s I had enough with Roman!

Hey Ron just want to let you know...

FYI to the Beech Boys regarding the scoring web site. There is a "glitch" which fouls up the leg sequence number when uploading duenna files for teams with more than one pilot, as you may have noticed. I know the source of the problem, but work has prevented me from diving in and fixing it. In the mean time, you can edit the "sequence number" as I have been doing, by clicking on the big blue field with the sequence number in it. Don't worry about if you don't want to, as I have been monitoring all the leg entries and fixing stuff. I just wanted you guys to know that I'm aware of the issue and will fix it soonishly... :)

[jt_dub]

Thanks for staying on top of things Paul, we appreciate it. Love the ability to upload the Duenna txt. Outstanding work.

[CavalierDuck]

About to depart from WSSL heading for VYCI Coco Island.

[CavalierDuck]

N406KA is all yours, BB2. Watch out for icing, I saw a little on the wings during this flight. The deicing system took care of it nicely though.

[jt_dub]

Leaving Coco Island for Allahabad - VIAL

[jt_dub]

Battled strong headwinds into Allahabad. King Air N406KA is ready for the next leg. I'm off for a curry.

[CavalierDuck]

A dawn departure from Allahabad heading for Karachi OPKC.

[CavalierDuck]

Landed in Karachi. The expected headwinds showed up, so average GS is way down. Rather hazy coming in to OPKC, but the ILS kept me on the straight and narrow.

FSX application crash, Restarting.

After rebooting PC, Duenna reports that it cannot connect to server, but I can reach it in my browser, rebooting PC again.

[Willy]

Shot down by Iranian Migs?

Shot down by Iranian Migs?

Migs Schmigs, the Kuds Force better get one of the Shah's F14 Tomcats repaired if they wanna catch a Beech Boy:smug:

[jt_dub]

Some Days it just does not pay to get out of bed. FSX Crashed AGAIN!!!!! This time just short of touchdown, at 127 ft of elevation at 122knts, perfectly setup for the arrival.

Duenna disconnected from server while on approach. Continued with the landing. The flight shows en-route on the server.

[CavalierDuck]

Leaving OMAD for Hail, OEHL. Almost an RTWR baton handover.

FS clock is set to an hour after Beech Boy 2's arrival in OMAD.

[CavalierDuck]

Grrrr, the Duenna went red on my takeoff roll and I got an error message to the effect that the server can't start the flight. Restarting from OMAD.

[CavalierDuck]

I have restarted my flight from OMAD to OEHL successfully, but the duenna was unable to connect to the server. Therefore as per the provision for such an event in the NOTAM dated today 11-2-2014 I am running the duenna offline for this leg.

Jeff, I don't know if you have any thoughts of another flight today (I doubt it after the day you've had!), but my ETA into Hail looks like around 2330Z.

[Ron Attwood]

Grrrr, the Duenna went red on my takeoff roll and I got an error message to the effect that the server can't start the flight. Restarting from OMAD.

Looks as though we were having the same problems Nick.

[CavalierDuck]

An uneventful flight after the duenna issues, just a 40kt headwind to contend with.

No online duenna tracking, looks like due to server issues.

Well Done Nick. I will pick up N406KA later in the week. I too am done for the day. Go get some sleep.

[jt_dub]

Taking N406KA from OEHL to HEAX (Alexandria) via the Nuweiba NDB. That should keep us well south of the Iron Dome

[jt_dub]

King Air N406KA is down safe in Alexandria. Wicked headwinds the who way.

Average Head/Tailwind: -50.8 kts

Wow! That is tough.

Nice screenie out the window.

[srgalahad]

Headwinds? I thought it must be the drag from the large frontal area of those glass panels

:biggrin-new:

[CavalierDuck]

About to depart from Alexandria HEAX for a little run across the Mediterranean and up the Adriatic to Split, LDSP, for what should be our penultimate leg - and my final contribution!

[CavalierDuck]

Forgot to set FS clock correctly. Restarting leg.

[CavalierDuck]

Landed at LDSP. When I came to a stop the duenna returned the error message of server says can't stop flight. I then noticed that my internet connection was experiencing a temporary interruption which is presumably why the map didn't show and the online tracking doesn't go all the way. The flight seems to be fully validated in the text file though.

BB2 taking King Air N406KA on final leg to Mildenhall (EGUN).

Flying with Ron on his FSX multiplayer.

[jt_dub]

The final leg for the Beech Boys is complete. Ron landed first after restarting his OOM'd flight in Belgium. Although Ron's landing was un-official it does reflect what would have been the correct arrival sequence. I landed about 8 minutes after and Nick landed 3 minutes later.

Jeff, you're forgetting the leg you had to re-fly. I reckon the honours are about even.

[Moses03]

Nice job fellas. Have a cold one on the house. :very_drunk:

Bravo Zulu Team "BB" !
