11:48pm GMT November 1st 2009. I just watched as the seven teams of World flight began their mission to raise funds for various charities worldwide. Again for yet another year these teams will fly their simulators 24 hours a day for the next 7 days. Starting now, you will be able to follow your favorite team via live web broadcast, or listening on VATSIM. Cockpitbuilders.com wishes all the teams great success.

Hi all.. hope you are enjoying the webcam feed. We're trying to keep it up full-time but it does drop out on our end every now and then. Please give us feedback on how its going.. thanks again for your support.

I watched for awhile last night. Not sure where you were going because the voice audio is difficult to hear over the cockpit noise. I only know you landed on 08.

Innsbruck, Munich, Paris? I couldn't tell from the terrain where you were.

There were some pauses, sometimes many in a row, and then it would run smooth for up to ten minutes at a time. Often less, sometimes more.

I enjoyed watching, thanks for the feed.

Nic the feed is top quality, and Top Notch.. as Mike said.. the Audio is a bit hard to hear over the engines, but you know.. compared to the other teams.. I think your feed looks the best.

At night though, when your guys turn the "Daylight" lights out, it is a little dark.. but your daylight flights are awesome.

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes the guys haven't got the headsests on which makes them a bit harder to hear. We'll tweak the balance a bit more...

Thanks Trev. Yeah the internal lighting washes onto the outisde visuals a bit, so we have to have them off at night once taxiing.

Great! Next flight is to Bermuda, and we're going to do it in daylight for the benefit of a jumpseat rider
