| New VA pilot - what's my first job? | |
Mick McG   16th Jan 2012 22:17:46 | H'o fella's, I'm back and almost ready to fly but I'm stuck. How do I go about helping Goffa with his cargo contracts in Alaska or those prop hops in the Beech1900 out of LAX?
I'm all registered and the FSO paint's dry on the newly installed Beech but what do I do now? Assume you are explaining to a complete VA novice who knows nothing about VAFs (purely for the benefit of other inexperienced members who might stumble upon this thread you understand, ahem). Alright I admit it - I know nothing about VAFs or what it does or how it works. All I know is that I'm going to need V5 when it comes out tomoz and that's about it. Looking forward to a comprehensive "idiots guide" for a comprehensive idiot! Thanks chaps, M |
James Milligan  16th Jan 2012 23:06:02 | Hi mick,
Rumours suggest that VAFS 5 will be quite different from VAFS 4 so I'd strongly recommend waiting for its release as then everybody will need an "idiots guide." Thanks James |
Gordon Thorpe  16th Jan 2012 23:11:00 | when the new vafs 5 comes out the airline has to pay for all tyre's ,undercarriages if the landing is heavy & it goe's away for 2days & cannot be flown for that time
I DON'T NO IF WE CAN AFFORD YOU MICK!!!!!!!! GOFFA |
| Mick McG 16th Jan 2012 23:20:05 | ^^ Ooooh, that hurts Goffa! lol :)

Laurence Woodside 17th Jan 2012 00:06:09 | Once the VAFS 5 is out Mick I will see if I can write a small guide. |
| James Milligan 17th Jan 2012 19:02:59 | Would help if you did, Laurence. Thanks. |
Geoff Server  17th Jan 2012 19:20:14 | Oh Mick, it will be good to see you back on FSopen.
We have ordered, in expectation of your return, and you using VAFS5, a number of sets of 'all terrain' tyres for your 737. So, should not be a problem..... |
| Geoff Server 17th Jan 2012 19:26:02 | And just in case any new members are wondering about my post and have not seen some of the wonderful landings Mick has done in the past here is the video.....
Welcome back Mick LOL.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFvtIYuptU0 |
| Mick McG 18th Jan 2012 22:23:19 | ....a mere sample of my silky skills! Goffa, what insurance cover do we have again?
Geoff - Brilliant! lol. I'm looking forward to getting back in the seat mate. Talk to you soon. M |
| Mick McG 19th Jan 2012 23:29:42 | It's almost Friday, yay! With luck I think I might get an hour or two to make my maiden voyage with the VA tomoz but I'll be stuck on the ground unless someone is kind enough to answer my original post.
Forget your posh 737's for the time being, I can just about cope with the B1900, so how do I go about arranging that? I notice there's a 737 sched from EGBB to NH which is a route I fancy as a starter but only in the Beech, (I'd end up in the dunes at the end of BPL's runway if I tried it in a 737)! Is it possible to alter the aircraft for a route in this way and if so, does it need approval etc? VAFs5 is downloaded and seems good to go - I have no money and I live in a shack (I'm impressed with the realism already). Looking forward to all your helpful tips - remember to keep it simple though, I'm as thick as mince when it comes to all this malarkey. Thanks again and I hope to catch you if you're on tomorrow evening. Cheers, M |
| Gordon Thorpe 20th Jan 2012 09:57:42 | if you are on Friday night i will take you through it step by step & also put on a new route that you prefer to fly
GOFFA |
Craig Noble   20th Jan 2012 13:49:26 | All i will say is 2m38s! |
| Mick McG 20th Jan 2012 14:46:42 | Goffa, many thanks mate. I'll catch you then.
@ Craig, lol! |
