Andrew Godden 934 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Loved it Boss. When I can get my head around the challenge rules and how to do it (Fly the baton) . I may put my mocha down on the list.. James, Not a phrase I am prone to using, but, trust me. If Brian can do it, believe me, anyone can do it. The fun factor is excellent. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I remember being confused way back in the original ATWC (we didn't even know to put a "I" on it at that time) by the concept of "bidding". You're not offering anything except to fly that leg. In this case, "bidding" is just another way of saying you'd like to fly that leg of the tour. John Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 You're more than welcome to join in the fun James, would be great to have you on board. Just send an e-mail to atwc@mutleyshangar.com with your Forum Name, Real Name and Nationality and I'll sort you out with one of those nifty little banners, and you will get an e-mail reminder when it's time to start bidding for section 2. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send them to me via PM, or start a new topic over in the ATWC 5 Pilot Lounge. We will be more than happy to straighten out any question marks in order to get you involved... and as Brian said it's dead easy. All you need to do is Bid, Fly & Post Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 The best way to get an idea for it James into look over some of the old posts. You can either fly straight from a-b or fly everywhere in between and make an adventure out of it using different aircraft and airports. The only limiting factor is your imagination. I think the best ATWC post was done back during ATWC2 by forum member 'reef'. It was a mammoth adventure with some stunning screenshots. Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Thank you all for the encouragement you have all convinced me, so I will e-mail Mikael.. Link to post Share on other sites

UKJim 502 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ah no now I am thinking of joining - the only question I have is this... When I bid and get accepted for a flight like in the main board; do I have to do it in between any set dates? I struggle to find time to get on these days and would only be able to manage a small flight. I have an SSD coming soon so I do not want to commit just yet as I may be busy doing a re-install but maybe in the later stages I may have a blast in a short leg using my 172 or twotter Great post Joe - I thought you had the Alderney scenery from Earth Sims? Thanks, Jim Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 When you actually fly the leg is up to you Jim, there's no need to wait for the PIREP from the previous leg to be posted. The only restriction is when to actually post your PIREP, and it's usually 36 - 96 hours after the PIREP for the previous leg. Link to post Share on other sites

needles 1,010 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hi Jim, As Micke says, it doesn't matter when you fly the leg, but I like to see the story or commentary from the previous pireps, so that I could probably carry on from where the last one left off. Some of the stories that get posted make excellent reading. Hope you join in. Brian Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oi you lot, hijack my post why don't you?! I knew I had that smiley for a reason, now let's get back to talking about how wonderful I am! Only kidding! It's great to see we are getting so much interest for this great event Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hijacking is so commonplace here, I'm surprised I, I mean we , haven't been arrested by the FBI yet. Anyway, how about this PIREP, really, really, really, really, really, really, really great. It will be great to have Jim join up and a big welcome to James for hoping on board. Oops, did it again....

remingtonbox 18 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ahhh... the AWTC... its good to see it back, amazing the difference in screen quality and addons from the first AWTC. I love it! Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Yeah, things sure look a lot better than they did back then.. But I would guess most flights in the early parts where made in FS9 considering FSX had only been out about 6 months when they started, and SP1 was still not released.. By the way, did I mention how great this PIREP was Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Do we know what the record is for the most responses to an ATWC Pirep? This has to be right up there. John Link to post Share on other sites

stu7708 244 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 A quick look through the older forums does seem to indicate it's a record Can't find any that's gone to more than two pages. Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,010 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Oh Joe, I've just read your PIREP again, did I forget to mention how wonderfully detailed and what riveting reading you made of it. WELL DONE BOSS! Link to post Share on other sites
