How will this work as regards positions? Rostered I presume?

How will this work as regards positions? Rostered I presume?

Pretty much.

I had a flight booked for this from EHAM-KJFK departing around 1400-ish.

I'll probably control for the event instead, but said I'd give first dibs on the slot to someone here if they want it.

So before I cancel it, if somebody is looking for the slot, send me a PM and I can arrange a time to cancel so you can book it straight away.

[Flying From DUBLIN?]

Flying From DUBLIN?

For anyone flying from Dublin there is now an updated AFCAD available for both FS2004 and FSX here(thanks to Martin Bergin): http://www.vateir.com/pilotdownloads.php

This file also includes updated buildings including Pier D and Pier E. However the buildings are not compatible with FSX, and don't show up, but the AFCAD works grand and the stands are still there. We're working on updating the buildings for FSX and hope to have a separate download available for FSX users prior to the event.

Alternatively if you want full addon scenery for Dublin, we reccommend Éiresim's Dublin 2009 scenery.

So please make sure you're using either Éiresim's Dublin scenery or the updated AFCAD provided above if you plan on flying from Dublin, as only these packages have the updated ground layout for Dublin.
