Doing it now, about halfway there! I have already refueled once, and I will land in about 1 hour for another refueling stop in the US. With my latest modifications, this autopilot is actually flyable! LOC needs some work still...

As we approach the departing time for tomorrow's USA Tour, we can begin to look for the weather forecasts.
Our departure from Port Columbus may be Marginal VFR (MVFR) or worse (IFR), with some mist, and low level overcasts, and low visibility (forecast).

Our midway stop (in Rapid City) is also expected to be a little weathery, with MVFR conditions for our arrival/departure, and some low level scattered clouds. Not so bad, thou (forecast)

For our final arrival, to Portland, OR, we may have some "el nino" showers, and a MVFR approach conditions, with scattered clouds below 2000 ft (forecast)

We may be up to some winter-like weather tomorrow :D

See you all soon

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

Well, all I can say is: "That sounds fun." 717 flew nicely today, was quite nice. Also flew my MD-88, also flew well.

You make sound so bad its not that bad.

FORCAST: (From the TAF)

KCMH, IFR, Wind SSE at 8 Knots, Overcast at 800 Feet. Visibility 5SM. (IFR because even though we have the required visibility, we might not get the required horizontal separation required from the clouds (500 Feet below) and maintain the minimum safe altitude over congested area (1000 feet).

KPIR, VFR, Wind Variable at 4 Knots, Clear Skies, Visibility 6SM.

KRAP, VFR, Wind N at 5 Knots, Broken at 1500 and 3000 Feet, Visibility 6SM.

KPDX, VFR, Wind at SE at 8 Knots, Scattered at 1500 feet, Overcast 2500 feet, Visibility Greater than 6 statute miles. Light Rain.
Weather: Light Rain.

After testing many airplanes, I have finally decided to fly it0ouchpod's version of the MD-88. He said it could be downloaded on the non-GPL site for FGMEMBERS. Sorry it took me so long to make up my mind.

Skyboat! Glad to see you, sir :)
Welcome; I may take it myself, depending on frame rates produced by the Airbus.

Hello gentlemen, due to confusions, I may end up bringing the MD-11 instead of the 717. I encountered a strange problem with it, and it prevents me from flying it well, (I can get in to details on another forum if you'd like). I hope that isn't too much of a problem. :D

Why does everyone spell it0uchpods wrong. :D Maybe I should have used a different username. -_-

Gentlemen: we are going out to lunch today, so I will be delayed till at least 1745UTC. Sorry!
Now, if I know the USA tour correctly, it IS usually an hour by the time everyone gets up....so I may be able to make it :)
I'm at Colombus with JWOCKY atm; sadly it's scenery is not all that could be desired.
