Apology required, I think...

[DavidK]

Dear all,

I think my running out of fuel just after touchdown at the end of this flight has dented the airline's reputation. If so, I apologise for this consequence of my miscalculation. (I guess it's fortunate I was able to land normally before the engines all erupted in flames -- the sign of fuel exhaustion in the Comet..?)

Other than continuing to try to fly sufficiently well, is there any penance / reparation / etc I should serve / provide / etc..?

Sheepishly,
David

[MALTBY D]

Oh dear. Nevermind, I've done it myself.

Give yourself a good slap and as punishment I think you should fly every route we have.

I think you should fly every route we have.

In a Rapide

I just did an L1011 trip and landed with 1,000lbs, pulled on stand with 200lbs left.

Even then, I'd diverted from LHR to LGW as I'd realised in the descent that I wouldn't make LHR.

[DaveB]

It is for that reason, I can't fly using lbs. Gallons is too over the top and neither here nor there so I plump for Kg.. a nice 'middle ground'

For DK.. perhaps we should get some old Empire routes sorted so he could fly the HP42. The Rapide is almost fast by comparison

I think you should fly every route we have.

In a Rapide

And without fast forwarding or using autopilot

[simondix]

I think a few of the real oldies HP42 and that era would be a cracking idea!

[DaveB]

The idea is far from implausible Simon. Imperial Airways routes are available as is Derek's HP42. Not sure how the old girl would work in FSX but it's still sound as a pound in FS9 Derek was in the process of upgrading it but that is still very much back burner stuff No HP42 exists in the FSA database as far as I'm aware but that shouldn't be considered a stumbling block

If someone wants to take a go at putting in the HP42 info, I'll certainly get it in. Sadly, until the database issue gets found and fixed, there won't be much flying it.

[DaveB]

Oo.. didn't realise there was a problem over there Chris.. a bit out of touch I'm afraid I'll see what I can dig out on the old lady
