B377 diversionary landing

[Tomb]

sorry chaps, with building thunderstorms, near glasgow, beautuful Vis but very low cloud over rising terrain, with no DME (fitted), ILS suspect, (weather reported as 50km clear, real weather), discretion was the better part of valour and i diverted to EGPF instead of landing at EGPK., decision hieght was 200ft and i could not get sight of the runway after 3 attempts so diversion it was, think number 2 engine got slightly fried on that last go around, manifold pressure is below the other 3 engines.

not sure what happens here, do we create a leg (EGPK-EGPF) to finish the the trip or do we just get it moved to EGPK ?

the A2A B377 is very atmospheric in rough weather, she creaks and groans and they use what i am going to call visual motion cuing, i really felt and heard that i was in rough weather

Right now, they'll have to make a leg or transfer you and the aircraft, however in FSAirlines (cross your fingers for release in in about a week and a half) you can press a button when you need to divert (it says "emergency" on it but it's for both failures and diversions), land, and then FlyNET will create and book a temporary flight to get you to your final destination automatically.
