I'll take a look at Hapag Lloyd, I had never thought about them when looking for VAs.

I had a busy day in FS2002 yesterday - a flight for SNBA VA, a flight for Go Virtual, planning a flight for Austrian Virtual between Vienna and Stuttgart.

Would you want to be a pilot for my va, Air belgium? http://www.airbelgium.be.tt :jump2:

You would be our first female pilot ;)

I fly for SNBA virtual (SAB401) and for British Airways virtual (BAV501) but I like Homefly more than the software from BAV.

Seeing as others are giving their VA pilot numbers here, I'll do mine :mrgreen:

I am SAB428 from SNBA VA, BAW1088 from British Airways Virtual, AUA 753 from Austrian Virtual, STA 280 from Go/Flybe Virtual and DL428 from Delta/Lufthansa Virtual.

I too find the software from SNBA VA easier to deal with than the new one from BA, that has suddenly become very complex for offline flying.

My latest VA flight was Innsbruck to Salzburg with Austrian (Arrows). It was an early morning departure, and so was dark the whole way. I intend to fly the same route in summer to catch all that superb scenery, and see the mountains as I dodge round 'em :lol:

The other day I joined Luxair and made my first flight for them in an ERJ145 to CDG. I also joined Ryanair, but I will have to withdraw from that one because their site crashes my internet browser (both Firefox 1.1 and IE6).

I have just had a gross day in virtual flying :evil: This afternoon I decided to fly a CDG-LCY route for Air France. Just reached cruising altitude and the FS2002 crashed :evil: Tonight I loaded up FS2002 again intending to repeat the flight and finish it. Less than five minutes after take off from CDG and the damned FS crashes again :evil: I shall try again later in the wek and hope I get a little further - like LCY!

I am hoping to join Ryan Air Virtual as WestJet doesn't fly in Europe and I would like to experience some European flying.

Oh, I'll check out what the problem is, but we just hired a new personnel manager so maybe we've had a little bit of troublesome communication. I hope to get it solved asap.

I had a very bad day in FS yesterday :cry: I decided to do a flight for Austrian Virtual, as I haven't flown with them for some time. My first choice was Vienna to Brussels with my beautiful new Fokker 70 from Project Fokker. The only problem was that the damned aircraft would not take off :oops: I don't know why, as normally it is a dream to fly this aircraft, it had gathered speed in the normal way and when I raised the nose, the nose stayed up but the rest of the aircraft did not follow. I am glad that wasn't an online flight :oops:

Then my second attempt involved a short hop from Salzburg to Linz in my beloved CRJ of Tyrolean. Beautiful flight, aircraft well behaved, good landing. Then when I open the flight manager to submit the flight report, it had not recorded the details. So now I will have to do it all again :dammit:
