Nicholas Bartolotta 912967 Posted December 5, 2005 at 02:29 AM Posted December 5, 2005 at 02:29 AM Usually it's the opposite ways, pilots writing up thank-you posts for the controllers, but I was so pleased after controlling during Delta Virtual's groupflight from KCVG to KDEN that I wanted to thank the pilots I was manning CVG_V_GND, and handled over 42 aircraft in a 2 hour period! The vast majority were Delta pilots to KDEN, but I did have about 3-4 rebels flying to other destinations All the Delta pilots were awesome, and very patient with the server problems we seemed to have tonight. I was fortunate not to get knocked off during my 2 hours controlling, but I had quite a few pilots get thrown off and come back on, as well as controllers. Also had a large number of pilots who weren't able to see either some or all of the airport traffic. But once again, the Delta jet's all were really nice and followed pretty much all my instructions exactly (had a few make a left on Kilo when it should have been right...but thats no biggie ) I'm sure I speak on behalf of all the ZID controllers that controlled tonight when I say: thanks for the traffic!!

I know there are probably a number of DVA members who don't come on this forum, do you mind if I post what you wrote on the DVA forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dalrymple 918330 Posted December 5, 2005 at 06:09 AM Posted December 5, 2005 at 06:09 AM I'd like to thank all the ARTCCs that where online tonight. From the guys at ZID getting us off the ground to the guys at ZDN that brought us back to earth and ZKC for keeping us seperated. You all where the best. While we did have issues (mostly server/frame rate) the ATC was absolutly wonderful the entire event. We had 53 signed up for the event and we are still counting to see who actually made the trip we know it was 30+ at this point. Again that you all for making this a very special night! All that participated (ARTCCs, Controllers, and pilots) deserve a huge pat on the back. Congratz all!

Ross Carlson Posted December 5, 2005 at 07:57 AM Posted December 5, 2005 at 07:57 AM Heh ... don't worry, so do I. In fact, I haven't controlled or flown since the beta started.
