Cheers John, now i understand how it works :shock: .
I always throw a couple of thousand kgs extra in, as you can never be sure what to expect mid atlantic.

Use 8 tonnes pr hour, and throw in 7 tonnes for deviation, that should do it. sometimes You use more, sometimes less, but overall it is a good rule of thumb.

Cheers Dan.
I like rule of thumb it's a bit easier on the grey matter.

Btw guy's...
In case you are wondering why you're not making as much on your flights as you did on Saturday.. our multiplyer is now 200 and
not 300 as it was. Pilot income remains the same.. just the overall VA profit will be less

Hi Dave,
Yep, the total VA value just edged through the v$10billion yesterday so the multiplier is down at 200 now. Not a bad thing, it shows that the VA is healthy

Hi John,
Tks for that. I didn't know what the cutoff point was for the drop but knew we'd hit whatever it was! :roll:
Lee seems to think his last couple of flights were still x300 but he did say to check.. so I'm gonna
EDIT Wild you know John but he's right. There are 5 flights on the overview page.. the bottom one being DM.. the next 3 are mine, then Lee's flight and finally mine. DM and I got a x200 for all of our flights yet Lee's came in at x300

Hi Dave,
Steve G's flight in the Dove EGLL to EGNX 28thJan was the first flight with multiplier of 200. Although Lee completed a flight after this at multiplier of 300 it was probably because it was booked/started when the multiplier was 300. The same sort of thing has happened in the past where someone had a crash/failure which hit the rep and then the next flight, that was already airborne but landed afterwards, put the rep straight back to 120.

You posted while I was typing
I presumed this was the reason. Lee started the flight earlier but we had a double power failure.. not for too long but long enough not to want to turn the pc on again for a while so.. he started the flight again later
Nice he was in a Tri3 for the last of the big bucks
