An initial Roster and a table summarising the flights can now be seen from the home page of the Rally. Start flights/situation files for each sim supported will be added in the next couple of days.
Cheers, Allan

Flight descriptions and indicative maps are now available, along with the pirep procedure information. These will allow you to create flights for any sims not supported.
Start flights/scenarios will be available shortly for the main flight sims.
Cheers, Allan

Hi Allan' I noted two airstrips betwee Omaha and Cheyenne, NE17 and 35NE that are only 2200' and 2800' feet long. Might be a little tight for a Gooney Bird, unless you planned it that way. There's not a close substitute for NE17 but maybe use Grand Island, KGRI, or Aurora, KAUH? Ogallala, KOGA could be a close substitute for 35NE. Nebraska is my home state. Allen

Hi Allan, Also some map errors. Map 2 should be from State College to Cleveland and Map 6.2 should be from Rock Springs to Salt Lake City. Allen

Hi Allan, On further reading of the Pilot Notes I think my concern for the short airstrips are unfounded. These airstrips are just way points not mail fields. Sorry for the confusion. Allen

Hi Allen,
Thanks for pointing out the map errors, I'll correct them today.
Apologies if the instructions were unclear. The only airfields that require landings (and takeoffs) are those in the first column under Start. In homage to Windows I have added the last Stop under Start.
The other airfields are to keep us roughly in line with the airmail route. All of those, except for Winnemucca and Blue Canyon, are near towns mentioned in the Pilot's Notes. The two exceptions are just to keep the route roughly in line. I suspect following the route between Wells and Elko may take us away from the Secret Pass that Pat had problems finding.
3,800 ft is the shortest runway on start/stop fields that have only one runway. Two airfields, Bellefonte and Elko, have shorter runways alongside longer ones. I always find myself picking the shortest ones whether I mean to or not.
Cheers, Allan

One map was wrong and one link was to the wrong map. Both are now corrected. It may take a couple of refreshes with F5 to clear the old index page.
Cheers, Allan

Hi Allan, Wells is north of Secret Pass. If he had flown directly from Wendover to Elko he would have found the pass. Allen
