In line with the development of the flight schedules for the Dutch East Indies, Dutch New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, I will be progressively restructuring the established routes in the interests of consistency. This will involve a move from the current operating aircraft type approach to a more traditional sector and route structure, by region. Hopefully, this will make the schedules easier to follow and enjoy. Another subtle amendment associated with this will be a change to the Flight Numbers so as to better manage future expansions. Regards

As part of the ongoing development of the Australian Division, schedules for the Dutch East Indies have been added. These schedules are based on the historical schedules flown by Royal Dutch East Indies Airways (KNILM) up to the outbreak of World War II and the Japanese invasion. The development of schedules for Dutch New Guinea, based on the historical schedules of De Kroonduif (NNGLM), are well advanced and I hope to have them added to the website this week. Regards

G'day Everyone, The Australian Division Forum has been created for all matters pertaining specifically to the Division's operations. This will include information and details on future plans, activities and events for the Division and a home for Division related comments and suggestions. General announcements will still be posted in the News Forum but the details can be discussed here. Regards

I am pleased to announce that the conduct of the GAAR for 2009 will return to its home at Bluegrass Airlines. As part of the responsibility of taking on the position of Director for the Australian Division, I gave a commitment to Bill to assist / coordinate the GAAR. So, what can you expect? In short, a format based on the GAAR 2007, but continuing to press the boundaries and challenging individual skills. Consequently, the intent is to build on the 2007 format. Anyone can just jump in to FS and fly, the aim is to extend this with a focus on flying skills. Rather than direct point to point routes, GAAR 2009 will include VOR / NDB navigation (sub Legs), weather variables and a focus on real world procedures for circuits and landing approaches. Broadly, aircraft choice will be at the discretion of individual competitors based on any capable (range permitting) aircraft "developed" (initially flown) in the period of the 1930's to 1950's. Detailed rules will be released in due course. Initial route planning is in progress and is intended to provide variety against previous events. From an add-on scenery perspective, whilst a standard installation of FS9 or FSX will be catered for, the event will maximise the use of Australian mesh scenery and the Vista Australis scenery pack. I know that in the past (due to size) accessing this package has caused concern for those who do not have broadband access, however, a number of sites now offer the scenery on CD via mail for a nominal charge covering the CD and postage (certainly well worth it in my opinion, but then, after all, I am an Aussie). More specific details and an event web page be added in due course. If you have any further suggestions for the event, please add them to the "thread". 121.217.210.228 Regards
