Chris, Dave and Coleman, et al,
Firstly, Chris, thank you for driving me insane. After having checked, re-checked and checked again, I thought all my ESRA data was correct. Now I can't even find how the typo got there!!!!! Anyway, that's fixed.
I have delved a little more into X-Plane for my own curiosity and skimmed through the Bluegrass X-Plane Forum. As I said, whilst I can't officially support it the GAAR 2009, I am happy for you guys to fly the GAAR in X-Plane unofficially and record the results. I think the results could be good for comparative analysis and future consideration, particularly where you are also flying in another MSFS version. I know that due to subtle quirks (mildly stated, that is) between FS9 and FSX, Bill had to make minor time adjustments for the GAAR 2007. These same adjustments need to continue to exist. It seems a minute is not always a minute in the virtual world depending on the version used. (Please, let's not start a big debate on this issue)
I appreciate all the GAAR 2009 airports are covered in X-Plane, I just hope the various VORs and NDBs are as well, as they are more critical in this GAAR - not every Flight Leg is direct.

Well I finally went feet wet today. I am now island hopping towards Australia and Darwin across the southern Pacific. Dropped in for a night rest at Galapogous Island. Gorgeous weather.

BE CAREFULL BLIND SQUIRREL2 ,its rumored that Propellopovski's Vodka and Zlogg's Kettle brew has been used as alternative jet fuel !! Hihihihi.......must be ze credit crunch which misleads ze bankrupt kapitalistny to degrade Proppy's brew to ordinary jet fuel. It is intergallactical rocket fuel, messieurs, invented in ze Great Motherland and shall be used to power our aircraft in ze GAAR 2009! This precious liquid doubles as apéritif for invited fellow pilots during a soirée to be held on the eve prior of the GAAR 2009 start. Only educated and well mannered kapitalistny pilots will be invited for this fine function in return for some informations. Kapitän Zlogg & cie shall look forward to meet you amicably on ze starting grid next day.

Everyone,
My apologies. As Murphy's Law states, "If anything can go wrong, it will." - and it did. Nothing major, but enough to delay me opening Pilot Registration as stated.
Given time zone differences, work commitments (yes, unfortunately I still have to endure this), etc, I hope to have this rectified by later today my time (approx 1000 hrs UTC, 16 Dec 08).
Please understand, I am working to deliver a quality event everyone can enjoy in the true tradition of the GAAR and this minor delay shouldn't detract from that.

It is obvious not the work of "Murphy" but the effects of the good Kapitan Zlogg's brew. Not to be alarmed the headache will subside and vision clear,but this confirms his whereabouts so the DEW line can come off DEVCON 3, only Austrailia will have to survive the effect of the intake of Proppy,s brew. As always, looking forward to the annual adventures and view points of Kommerade Zlogg. no matter when GAAR 2009 gets started

All,
And I am now happy to report that the GAAR 2009 web site has been updated and Pilot Registration for the event is indeed officially open.

just the exhaust fumes coming from our aeroplane will attract so much Australian hangers-on it will have dramatic negative effects on our perfomance. On the other hand said fumes will certainly fog brains of ze competitors to such an extend they will misidentify the dropped cows for wind flares and head into ze opposite direction. As usual your beloved captain is ready for another challenge in ze deplored crunched part of ze world while comrade Propellorosvsky is literaly in "high spirits". Our rubble is much in demand lately!!!
cheers Capt. Zlogg vp crunch div
