i have 3 questions i would like to ask if you guys dont mind.

1) ive noticed some DHL flight tail numbers dont match the available downloads on the livaries. example N745AX.
are we supposed to change the tail numbers in flight sim to match?

2)ive noticed in the GCP there is a selection for private flight, but this is not covered in the manual. could you tell me what this is?

3) is there a specific cost index you want us to enter in the FMC's of the 744 and 763? if not i think it would be a great idea to start something like that.

1. We are matching liveries for download and tail numbers for the 767 only on the DHL side of the operation and I assume that's all you are referencing. Every so often a new tail number is being added to the operation and my trusty DHL guy is *supposed* to let me know before he adds a new tail so that I can make it available on the download page. But, it appears as tho those notifications are being lost in cyber-space ;) I'll take a look to see which tails I need to add for the 767 liveries.

2. Private Flight is for non-GC operated flights. So, when you want to relax and take a nice VFR stroll around the country side in a Piper Cub and still want autosave, logbook recording, etc (no GC specific features such as send pirep and acars position update are available) select Private Flight.

3. Per real Atlas/PAC the 744 CI is 30. I use 30 also for the 767. DHL's real CI is not known unless someone has that info and can share it with us.

Justin, I have not added any more 767's to the list since the last time you called me on that. I sent an e mail a while back with those that were added, but nothing new is there, or shouldn't be there unless someone else did it?

ok thanks for the reply. DHL use to have a 767 come to KMCO every day, but they replaced it with the 727 :cry:

i use to talk to the pilots every day, i forgot to ask the 767 pilot what the CI is :roll:
