  • NFL Flying Fantasy league 2015 DRAFT SPECIAL- Thursday Sept. 3rd, 8:30 pm EDT



    Greetings pilots!

    Thursday night we will be taking a simple NFL themed flight while the coaches of the msFlights Flying Fantasy League conduct their inaugural season draft! Everyone is invited to join in this flight, but the coaches will move to a locked room until we have finished all draft business.

    This flight is intended to be flown in the OV-10 Bronco which you can get from the msFlights vault here: http://msflights.net/forum/showthrea...-OV-10A-Bronco

    Check out these handy posts from our good friend Storm about installing an autopilot into the Bronco: http://msflights.net/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post19084

    Our flight takes us past several NFL stadiums (past and present) that are represented in default FSX. We will be flying from Chicago to Canton Ohio, with a few diversions along the way, but we will NOT land until we get all the way to Canton. That's right, just pop in the flight plan .PLN file that is supplied below, set your auto-pilot, and sit back & enjoy this sight-seeing flight.

    Go here to grab the Flight plan .PLN file for this flight:

    At 3,000ft, you can achieve a steady 240 knots IAS, after gear up/flaps up, with the following settings:
    • 77% throttle (mouse-over levers), which should give you...
      • 76% torque
      • 92% N1 rpm

      Cant make it due to other real world arrangements. What is the best way for FFL participants to draft if not available during the Thursday time slot?

        1. Go to your team page.
        2. Click on the "Edit Autopick Strategy" link (a few lines under your team title).
        3. Adjust the pick preferences and position limits as/if required.
        4. Save settings.
        "When your draft takes place - if you are not connected - the system will draft a player from the set position."

            NFL bye weeks. Can't find your player's team's bye week on the ESPN fantasy website? Neither can I. It's not on a player's or team's stats; that pop-up just gives you the 2014 season's bye week. The "Schedule" tab stops at week 8. ESPN have either hidden it over-efficiently, or they've missed it out completely.

            Workaround. Here's a website that tells you the bye week for the 2015 season for each team. (Bye weeks are important so you don't have to cover for too many players missing on certain weeks. Spread 'em around! And if you can plan for byes before and during the draft, so much the better.)

            Edit: I eventually found them on the ESPN site. They're on the downloadable Cheat Sheets.

              I have to work Thursday night, so I will try to set autodraft. Whoever has Aaron Rogers, give to me please. I'll trade two for him.
              thanks in advance.

                I'd love to join the league but I have CAP Thursdays and I am not too versed in setting up the auto draft.

                  Don't think anyone will get Aaron Rogers. However if I get Aaron Rodgers, I'll make sure he sits on the bench all season.

                          Storm has power out at his residence as of this post's timestamp. Our dear friend forecasts missing our Flying Fantasy draft flight and will try to reconnect to our community as soon as power is regained. Storm asked me to send his respects via a cell phone call just now. Storm will rely on his partially preconfigured autopicks.

                              Fortunately power was restored after an hour or so. Here are two screenshots from the flight. Go Dorks!
