On the software test system today, I 'flew' a trail from Souda to Abu Dhabi, with 4 x receivers who joined at a down route RV point. During the first bracket one of the pods failed, so the trail continued single hose. Then during the second bracket, one of the receivers couldn't fill his external tanks. The software solved both snags very quickly indeed (a few seconds in each case) - but I thought at the time that in VC10K days, probably the only tanker nav who could have solved the problem as quickly was you, Tengah Type!


Software is great and I know that it doesn't crash hire cars or get itself banned from Atlanta , but somehow I doubt whether AAR trails are as much fun these days, without chaps with the vast amount of experience and knowledge as there once were...
