Globe Cargo PIREPv2 is now available for download. GCPv2 is a complete rewrite and contains some exciting features. Some features are:
Globe Cargo is pleased to announce the official opening of our new DHL division.
The flights will be operated just like Atlas Air charters. Go to Flight Operations->DHL Internation->Select Flights to sign up for a DHL flight.
DHL flights are just an "expansion" to Globe Cargo. The division is not intended to be a stand alone VA or compete with other DHL VA's. At least 1 Polar flight is still required to be bid on and flown per month.
We are currently operating the 727-200 and ATR 72 for DHL and there is potential for expansion with more equipment types. Though we accept flights using Captain Sim's 727 we highly recommend the DreamFleet 727. For the ATR, Aerosoft and Flight 1 are accepted however the Flight 1 ATR is the product of choice as the Aerosoft ATR is far inferior to the Flight 1 product.
FSACARs users please go to the downloads page and download DHX.ini and place in your main FSACARs folder prior to operating a DHL flight. FSFK users don't require any special instructions to operate DHL flights.
Today the B757-200F officially commences operation with Globe Cargo. We have selected the CS757 and PSS 757 models for our operation. The tail numbers have been entered in our online database but there are special instructions to complete before using the 757 with GCP.
In the coming days you will start to see an adjustment in DHL operations. In the real world, the 767 is operated in the US almost exclusively and the 757 operated in other parts of the world. DHL operations will be adjusted to match, mostly, this difference between our existing operations and the real world operations.
The tail numbers added to our fleet are real DHL (colors) 757's with RR engines.
For GCP users only:
1. open GCP, go to Tools->Add...
2. Select Aircraft Type.
3. Fill in the information requested on the form. The critical part is to enter "752F" as the aircraft ICAO type. Without this being correct, tail numbers will not be loaded and you will be unable to submit a pirep using the 757.
4. Select "Yes" to the aircraft being operated by Globe Cargo, also required to submit pireps.
5. Check multi-engine and Turbine.
6. Close GCP and reload.
A succesful addition will be shown by selecting Other flight, Boeing 757-200F for the type, and having about 6 tail number available in the dropdown box. If there are no tail numbers there, the ICAO code for the aircraft is incorrect, go through the Add Aircraft Type form again and be sure to enter "752F" as the ICAO code for the type.
