ddavid 149 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Just a Heads Up to let you know that DC Airways will be organising their annual World Rally later this month. Here's the link: http://dc3airways.com/special_events/wr_2011/welcome.htm You don't have to be a member of DC Airways to join in. Andrew and I will be taking part - we'll post some screenshots... Why not join us? I'm not sure if Norm will accept a Team Mutley entry - if anyone's interested, I'll make the necessary enquiries... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Put me in for a team Dai if you can, if not I'll have to 'go it alone' Can I use the Viscount Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 C'mon, Chuck - DC Airways... I'll speak to Norman - no doubt we can twist a few arms on the Hangar, if necessary... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Probably have to count me out for this one Dai, real world is dragging me down right now Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I can't get off their home page - I get a pop-up Javascript Error window when I roll over any of their menu pads at the top of the screen. John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 A problem with IE9, Tools and Javascript - hopefully this work around should do the trick: For those who cant access the DC3 airways website with IE9 because of the java error here's the fix. 1.Right click on the TOOLS icon in the top right side of your browser. 2.Click on the Command bar setting. 3.This will now display the command bar across the page. It will have a printer and email icon on it. 4.Click tools 5.Click Compatibility View settings. 6.Paste DC3 Airways web address into the add website box. 7. Click ADD. Siteshould be accessable. Haven't heard from Norm Hancock re Team-Mutley - we'll have to be patient... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 If you're using IE8, just press the compatibility view button on the address bar. That allowed me to get their site to work correctly. Thanks for the tip, Dai. John Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Learn something new everyday, thanks for the compatibility tips. I was clicking on the menu bar on the site like it was an elevator button and it would all of a sudden magically work. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Are these guys going to do anything? The flying is supposed to start on the 1st of the month and they haven't published any flights yet. Andrew would never run a rally like that. John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 First leg window is 29th to 31st and no flight leg info published yet on the 25th. Are they asleep? John Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 995 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Maybe it's a mystery tour? Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 It's a mystery, all right. I was planning to do airport diagrams for their stops, but they're kind of painting me in a corner here. Their roster is showing 101 entries, including some familiar names. Unless they've been sent a package after registering, they don't know WHERE they'll be flying, five days before the Leg 1 window closes. Their Flights page still shows a "watch this page" message.

ddavid 149 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm not sure what's happening - I PM'd Norm about the possibility of Team-Mutley entry, but haven't had a reply. As the Roster requires some human involvement, somebody is doing something, somewhere... Andrew has flown the WR before, maybe he can suggest a reason? Cheers - Dai. :not-so-cool: Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Had an email from Norman today - seems that the World Rally Flights should be out tomorrow (27Oct11). I think the delay may have been caused by problems with the WR2011 website, which has been prone to a lot of spamming (it isn't password protected as it's an open forum). On the Team-Mutley front, Norman has given us the all clear, so as soon as the Flight list is available, we'll sort out who does what Legs. As time might be a problem, I don't mind doing Leg 1 or 2 - by then, we should have sorted ourselves out. Onwards and upwards, eh?!? Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 It's going to be a stretch to get the airport diagrams cranked out in time to be of any use to people, but I guess that's not a vital part. Do you know if the legs are linked, i.e. Leg 02 starts at the same place Leg 01 ends? If not, it's twenty instead of eleven airports for ten legs. John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm sorry, John, I don't know if the Flights joinup! I haven't done a DCA World Rally before - I'm sure Andrew has, he'll know... As Norman hasn't contacted meuntil today, I'll let him and Bob (the other organiser) know about your offer. Cheers - Dai.

allardjd 1,853 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm going to make them and post them here regardless. All they need is a notice to their participants that they are available here and a link to the MH Download Centre. I don't want them to post them direclty on their site, but rather drive the traffic here for the downloads from MH. Thanks, Dai. John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 The Rally Flights page on their web site, which said yesterday that they'd post flights on the 27th (today) now says they will be posted on the 28th. John Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Put me down for a leg Dai - I've got mid-term next week so got lots of free time Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 They're cutting it fine, aren't they - as you said, not really in Andrew's league... @ Kieran - thanks, mate - I'll have to drum up support from the others (Hi, Joe!). Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 They've posted - not just lists but complete packages. Re Airport Diagrams - I've completed and posted the two for the first leg (BC Canada). Two others already exist. I'll be pushing hard to get the others done and posted. The flight legs are disconnected, so there are 20 airports. What I've seen of the package so far looks pretty well done, but just in time. John Link to post Share on other sites
