Get credit for all of your flights. Even the flights that you are in process of creating or flights you are taking to scout new areas to work on for RTMM.
Here is what I mean.
I just flew all over Owikeno Lake Area without there being any flights to bid on and got credit.
When you start up click the charter Now make sure to select the type of aircraft.
Click clear Flight Data. DO NOT CLICK Get Flight info
For Flight number put in NACPF200 (This way I know what type of flight.)
Next put the nearest airport (In my case it was PF30) but it could be PAKT to whatever is nearest to you in Departure ICAO. (Must be in database)
Arrival ICAO put closest to where you are going.(Must be in Database)
Lets say that you just flew a route and now there are 3 passengers that want you to fly them up to a lake nearby.
Put 3 in the Passenger.
Next start flight.
Now you are ready to go. fly and when you land stop flight, File Pirep. and do it again to get back to where you want to fly.
This opens it up to truly be able to fly anywhere within RTMM and get flight hour credit in vNAC.
You will not get paid any virtual money but you will get hourly Credit. ;)

Chris ... this would then bring all of our Trip Tix into play along with the dispatches we've got at the Dispatcher's Office. Pretty darned neat.

New version of the black box is out. Get it in the pilot center. View downloads. I removed the old one. Now you can fly floats and helo's make sure you check Ignore PB in the user settings.

Great!

I reccomend that you use the latest Black Box. This way it will have all the features that you will need.
;)
-
Am I correct that the file name your speaking of is:
vNAC Black Box-setup v1.0.1.1.zip ?
When I checked the site there were two files there but this one is the latest according to the version number.

Yes that is the updated version that will allow you to check the Ignore PB in the setup.
This way Floats and Helo's can log flights.

Hi All,
the new version works fine for me flying helo`s.
Thanks Chris!

Yeah, the picture on the heli flight info was an MD500, so I chose that one. I was careful with it and I didn't hit anything. ;)

Let me start by saying that Corbu 1 set me up to this with a comment that he made about "only if we could find a way to move items with the helos" Well I love a challenge and I am happy to announce that vNAC is going to have some new routes for the CIRP. Being that summer is here we need to restock all the supplies and vNAC has been given the contract. Below are some pictures of the first load to be taken.
Just so you know this was not a mission that was created. this was a free flight. I started in Stewart.

What a view !!!!

The load started to shift with the winds.

Note to self be ready once you drop the load!!!
(http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/411cirp9.jpg)
Whew the load made it.
(http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/125cirp10.jpg)
The details on how I manged to do this will be coming soon to the vNAV website with instructions on how to set it up.
The helo drivers are going to have fun this summer....... 8)

I have been dreaming of slingload operations since we first installed CIRP. I'm sayin' it again! The future is cool!!! 8) I look forward to implementing this into my FSX life. This from the guy who gave us a static EH101 at PAKT. Now we can do it for real, well virtually anyway. Thanks Chris, er . . . Fireball. ;)

Just so you know that flight is just a 10 minute flight by helo. With that load it took me over 30 minutes. I almost did not think I was going to make it. At one point the winds pushed me down. I got it stable and slowly started to climb again.
I have managed to get more items. Generator, AC Unit, Gas Blatter, Fuel Tanks, a Basket for rescue's, Water tank, Propane tank, Gas Bottles, Crated cylinders and Crated Drums.
Next I am working on Containers 8X8 and 16 X 6

You just needed a bigger helicopter. That one's not for lifting. And at the stations the altitude makes lift more difficult. Man, I can't wait to try it. I'm looking forward to the instructions of how to accomplish this.
???Um, wasn't there projects I was suppose to be working on? I am so easily drawn away. ??? I almost got lost on YouTube again, with their suggested videos trick. One minute I'm watching FSX STOL videos, and the next it's Paula Abdul dancing with Gene Kelly. AAAArrrrgggg!!! How did I get there.
. . . what were we talking about . . . ???
-
Hah! I did it! :o That's a generator hanging from my chopper. I snapped a pic before anything goes wrong. I already lost one generator. They don't survive the fall. (so I had to start the flight over to get a new generator) I had a heck of a time attaching the cable. Where's the ground crew when you need 'em?

Hi Chris,
Wow, That is great!!!!! I was dreaming about slingload operations in the Misty`s Area for a long time.
I also tried to put liftable objects into some scenery but never were able to get it working.
Especially for CIRP it`s a really big deal when flying helo`s on the glacier`s!!!!!!!!!!
Thats`s a great step forward for my MD500, AS350, Bell212 and 412.
Many, many thanks, Chris!!!
Can`t wait flying slingloads this evening. :)

CIRP and sling loads are great, but now with vNAC are a fantastic combination
You can sling a lot of things with AICarriers

That is what I am using. Looking for more items to add and then I will do up the instructions. They will be posted on the vNAC forums. It is still a work in progress but this brings vNAC to the next level.

Dont mind the fire at CZST I dropped a fuel blatter I am sure it will burn off before winter. :o

I found this webpage: http://fsnorthwest.net/index.php/77-fsnorthwest/24-sling-loadshoist-operations-in-multiplayer-using-the-shared-aircraft-option (http://fsnorthwest.net/index.php/77-fsnorthwest/24-sling-loadshoist-operations-in-multiplayer-using-the-shared-aircraft-option)
I'm loading my objects into the scenery that way.
In the picture below, I am transporting a humvee from the depot down behind me. There's another one down there waiting. There's also a pallet of boxes, but I've gotta get better before I can move "breakable" stuff. I already dropped a few generators. The cable snaps pretty easy. :o

Try using a longer cable, or you can edit some things to avoid cut the cable, look here:
[Sling.0]
hoist_extend_rate = 5 //Feet per second
hoist_retract_rate = -5 //Feet per second
position = 0, 0, 0 //Feet from datum
max_stretch = 2.0 //Max stretch distance at ultimate load
damping_ratio = 0.6 //0 for no damping to 1.0 for critically damped.
rated_load = 2000 //Characteristics tension of cable in pounds
ultimate_load = 4000 //Breaking force in pounds
tolerance_angle=70 //Angle, in degrees, used to determine lateral breaking force limit
auto_pickup_range = 10 //Max Range, in feet, for auto-pickup
auto_pickup_max_speed = 10 //Maximum speed (feet per second) for auto-pickup
hoist_payload_station = 3 //Payload station in which the hoist will load in and out of. 1 is first station.
hoist_door=1 //Door associated with hoist. Must be open for use.
-
Also slow down. you cannot fly 120 KTS the cable cannot take the force. If you stay under 100 Kts you should be fine.
I read the instruction. I dont like having to create the items and save the flight. With using what I posted on the vNAC site I can start from anywhere in RTMM and not have to build a scenery file. Just drop the items right under my helo. Trick to it is to change the settings of the items. instead of 0, 10 Change it to 0, 0 now hover and drop the item right under your Helo instead of 10 feet in front of you. Pick up on the first try.
If you are really having problems do a search for Huey X Hover Gauge. ;)
