• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

DC's Western Roundabout

Landed safely at CYPS.

Flight time: 0:48:33
Race time: 0:48:33
Fuel consumed: 60.0 lbs (or 60.2 if it's change in gross weight, rather than fuel weight?)
 
Safely landed at Felts Field.

Flight time: 00:30:13
Race time: 00:30:13
Fuel used: 36.6 lbs

Duenna behaved strangely in this flight, releasing the baton at the time I touched down and not when I stopped, and didn't seem to record fuel usage correctly. The above is calculated from the loading page in FSX. I started the flight with 50% fuel (198 lbs), ended with 40.8% (161.6 lbs). As you can see, the fuel use is roughly the same per hour as my previous legs.

Other glitches with the Duenna file has been found, it seems to be completely off in every possible way. I'm invalidating this leg and reflying.
 
The Duenna issue seems to have been caused by the connection between my WideFS client and FSX having been interrupted when I was trying to fix some issues with my router. After restarting the WideFS client the Duenna is now seemingly working again.
 
Down safe at KSFF. Duenna worked properly this time.

Flight time: 0:30:03
Penalty: ?
Race time: 0:30:03 ?
Fuel use: 35.0 lbs

The rules doesn't specify any penalties for reflown legs due to technical glitches, so someone will have to decide what penalty, if any this should get.
 
Fun approach in the narrow valley, down safe at OR12.

It's good that I checked the map before so that I knew I passed on the right side of the highest peaks. Though, it's weird that my map shows a lot of mountains to the left of my flight path, but when I look out the window all the mountains are to the right... Oh crap...
