Re: WINGS900 Community Members Unite For Charity: Model Around The World

Hey Chris.

I'm sure you have that all covered. In case you don't, please consider to include a minimum size of the picture, so that they dont all come in difference resolutions. Perhaps a 1024px-600px photo would be enough, and then gather all the photos in one thread. (just a thought)
Carry on, Chris !

I wish yo all success for this to reach it all around the world. Good luck!

Chris,

I updated the map and am getting more than 90,000 miles... can you check it to make sure it looks correct?

Spot on Greg-i must have been using an old update-as the below post says we're at 98383 miles!! I think this is the time wahoo sweeps in to take us beyond 100'000 miles

Just for clarity guys re the Great Circle map. This is purely a rough guide to calculate mileages. For many, the parcel will not necessarily come through these airports, but by using your closest airport it gives us a fairly good guide i think of how many miles the model will travel
