  1. G'day Shane,

     

    VATPAC does not record all VATSIM flights. Only those conducted within or to and from Australia.

    Check the Current Activity Link >> "Current VATPAC Flights" to see if your flight is being logged.

     

    Use

    http://stats.vatsim.net/

    or

    http://www.vataware.com/

    http://www.vataware.com/pilotsearch.cfm?search=Shane+Sayle

    to check all your VATSIM data

     

    From the Previous Activity Page

  2. Would you believe we were trying to replicate real-world system outages :P ?

     

    A single blank line had made its way into the aircraft database. We are putting this down to a lost lemming wandering around the data farm bumping into things :think:

  3. G'day,

     

    The following was reported on the VATSIM forum.

     

    why do i get this message going to the vatpac site from bitdefender ??

  4. Nathan,

     

    The only thing we give rank for is hours!

    If the Epaulets are white it means your not current! ;)

     

    PLF

    The Passenger Load Factor is calculated as a percentage of the maximum pax so... C172 OR A388 makes no difference

    As long as you choose an aircraft/airport that can maximize the PLF you've found the essence of VATPAX! :)

  5. G'day Nathan,

     

    Currently there are 30,000 pax in the system. We originally spread 20,000 pax around the Australia. SY-ML-BN-AD-PH received 3,000 each and rest were spread across DN-HB-CB-CH. A further 10,000 pax were injected during the international airports upgrade.

     

    There is no external manipulation of Vatpax numbers and location. The current spread is solely due to the pilots who choose to use the system.

     

     

    Legend has it that VATPAX are the souls of past flight simmers.....

  6. Its simply on Monday because that is what Jackson suggest all those Mondays ago. If you remember we did a major event Milk Run Madness which later spawned into Milk Run Monday. The idea behind it, if I recall correctly, was to give everyone a chance to get it out of their system early in the week so they might consider flying somewhere else like Perth ......

     

    We then implemented newbie night to get newbies up to speed and gain enough confidence to tackle Monday nights.

     

    As far as trying to garner overseas pilots, in the past we have run our events in their airspace, cross promoted events and we even start Cross the Ditch at un-godly hours to accommodate them. Unfortunately we coped a lot of **** for trying. Too many peeps living in boxes i suppose -sigh-.

     

    As for running what and when thats up to the dude in the chair.

     

    ------------------------------------

     

    My only hope is that whatever event is run we all try to support it, rather than tearing down in the forums. Events are just a way to create a focus for our members both realism junkies and newbies (like myself) alike!

  7. If your unable to connect to the "local" voice server

     

    rw1.vatpac.org >> (180.200.247.40)

     

    switch to either of the following servers.

     

    rw2.vatpac.org >> (165.225.128.238) = rw.liveatc.net

    rw3.vatpac.org >> (74.81.74.67) = voice.nyartcc.org

     

    If these are not working either use the following link to get a full list of current voice servers and use their "url" to connect directly.

    Comments: Flew tonight VFR out of sydney, and had a simulated duel engine failure while at 10000 feet. Had beautiful cooperation and assistance from Aidan Sandri, who was overwhelmingly accomadating, and great realism provided by Daniel Oliver. Just wanted to say thanks.
