Toby, Very nice, the high performance should help you negotiate some of the mountainous regions of Greece which are on the MEBAR route. Good to have you and the guys from Andras Meridian Airlines back again for another year. All the best and enjoy. Cheers Andrew

Phil, JG took the big plunge into the VR abyss with an Oculus Rift about 12 -18 months ago. I believe he has since ditched it. Cheers Andrew

In the military, when military equipment or property is damaged, there is a process for restitution called "Member to pay!". This mechanic could be paying off this one for an eternity. https://theaviationist.com/2018/10/14/f-16-completely-destroyed-by-another-f-16-after-mechanic-accidentally-fires-cannon-on-the-ground-in-belgium/

Oh dear, and my tax return was deposited into my bank account earlier this week. However, now I have a sense of foreboding for the immediate future.

Thanks guys.

Oh, I thought we were talking about the validity of your comparative price analysis.....not your opinion.

But as I highlighted, that is not comparing apples with apples so it can't be a valid comparison. If Just Flight offered the Cessna 152 on a one platform licence, you would also expect the price to be significantly less, therefore, the A2A product again, becomes more than just "...an extra fiver...".

To claim “...for an A2A aircraft you only talk an extra fiver...” is totally incorrect. A fallacy with the comparatively cheap price of A2A products is you are not comparing apples with apples. I have previously highlighted this in a similar erroneous comparison with the price of Carenado products. The Just Flight Cessna 152 is a triple platform licence, i.e. FSX, FSX:SE, and P3D. This is NOT the case with A2A products “...for an extra fiver...” as they are a single platform licence ONLY. When you compare the price more appropriately with the closest A2A bundled product, the price

And Arnie, if you find the time in your busy weekend you might even be able to get to the Flight Sim show at Cosford.

Marcel, Joe is currently on holidays and travelling overseas. I will discuss it with him on his return in 2 weeks time. Cheers Andrew

Always a brilliant idea when they are there! Glad you enjoyed it David and thanks for the comments.

I haven’t got the software either, but whoa, do I have some fancy pants.

Only five days late, but better than nothing.

Paul, Five years is a very long time in the wilderness. I would have gone stir crazy after five days. Welcome back. Cheers Andrew

Toby, I can assure you the MEBAR Contact form works. Both Joe and I have been a little busy this morning (someone stuck Easter right in the middle of the MEBAR ), but we will sort out this issue for you as soon as possible. Cheers Andrew

Bob, You raise an excellent and very valid question. We have made the obvious slight change to the format for this year's MEBAR in that participant's are given a Target Speed (as ground speed) for Flight Legs rather than the traditional Target Time. We had effectively used this in past events when Flight Legs had "blind" Target Times, but then you were still flying to the cruise speed established in your Test Flight. This year, we felt it was time for a change in order to provide a different element to the event. It also removed the potential for using certain techniques to hit the

Again, reading the Rules will provide you your answer. And again the very same Paragraph 7 to be exact! “Seek and you shall find, read and you will understand”.

John, Well, I guess it’s a small world then, isn’t it. Cheers Andrew

John, I believe this is because the Power Projects scenery is not P3D compatible. I have seen an entry on the P3D Forums from a guy who said he got it working in v4.2. However there were no details on how other than to say it was tricky. Cheers Andrew

Excepting that the ground speed in the Test Flight has no bearing on the ground speed the Flight Legs are flown. The ground speed to be maintained on the Flight Legs is that associated with the allocated Aircraft Category. Let’s be sure that any advice offered is clear and unambiguous, and consistent with the Rules.

Neil, The questions are free, it's the answers that cost you. The invoice is in the mail.

As per the instructions on the Downloads page, the flight situation files are placed here, C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files, where USERNAME is your username on the computer. This is NOT the install location of the P3D simulator files, in your case, the E drive. If you place the files in the directory mentioned above you can then access the flight situation files by clicking on "Load Scenario".

Neil, If you actually read the Rules, you will find your answer. Paragraph 7 to be exact!

Thorsten, As per the Rules for this year’s MEBAR, aircraft are allocated to an Aircraft Category based on the performance characteristics of the aircraft and the submitted Test Flight time. Aircraft Categories are then allocated a target speed for the event. You must fly the Flight Legs using the Target Speed. Cheers Andrew
