Airbus A320 operation EIN S23
by: Tom Roek @ 25-04-2023 12:08z
Dear pilots,
Observant followers of Transavia may have already seen it passing by in the media. This coming December, the French-Dutch airline will welcome its first Airbus A321neo within the fleet. This aircraft, together with the A320neo, will eventually replace the current Boeing 737 fleet.
To properly prepare Transavia\'s pilots, an Airbus A320ceo from Avion Express (with registration 9H-AMP) will be leased this summer to familiarize the pilots with the changed cockpit and new systems. The aircraft will operate mainly from Eindhoven Airport.
Transavia Virtual will also offer the opportunity to take off with this aircraft. Therefore, as of today, this aircraft will also be added to the regular fleet. A livery will also appear for the FSLabs A320 for Prepar3D and FSX. We are currently looking into the possibility of releasing a livery for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS) as well.
Have fun on the Airbus!

Error in Flightplan Notification
by: Tom Roek @ 05-04-2022 12:51z
Dear Pilots,
Unfortunately we are experiencing problems with the database of all flights of the Summer schedule of 2021/22. Because of this it is possible that you may receive a 'Error in flight plan' message and that you cannot select the flight from the timetable. Report this message occur, please report this to flight-ops@transavia-virtual.com and hopefully we can solve the problem.
You can still operate this flight in the following way:
1. Select 'search flights' in the Transavia Virtual Dispatch Manager.
2. Choose the 4th option. Ad-hoc/special flight and press create flight plan.
3. You can then create and fill in your own flight plan. You should replace the first digit with a 7. If you want to follow flight HV1234, for example, you will fly it in this way as HV7234. If you want to fly HV123, this will be HV7123.
We hope that the above solution will be a temporary one and that we can inform you soon that our problems have been resolved.
Yours sincerely,
The Transavia Virtual Staff

What a strange time to live in, anywhere in the world we have been involved with the coronavirus. Also in reallife aviation is having a makeover, also the company we are simulating decided to cancel their operations.
However, we at the virtual transavia decided to make the summer great again, so we have activated tonight the summer schedule, with 1181 rotations to various destinations.
Some highlights this summer:
-New hub Montpellier (LFMT)
-New destinations like Bilbao, Bejaja, Constatine, Setif, Dakar and Perugia etc.
-New NGXU paints for the PH-HZL, HZJ, HZI (Thanks to Danny Lemckert)
Unfortunately the upcoming Brussels operations were cancelled this summer because of the virus. So a delay here, but many other nice flights out of Holland and France.
So have fun!! and like always is your flight not correct or the route please mail us on flight-ops@transavia-virtual.com
Kind regards,

Fleet update
by: Danny Lemckert @ 25-02-2019 15:39z
Dear pilots,
The PH-HSK is the first aircraft in our fleet wearing the split scimitar winglets. More aircraft will be equipped with these winglets in the upcoming months.
As the summer approaches, transavia is going to lease aircraft(s) from Jet Time. However, most likely, these aircraft will not have any logo or sticker from transavia on the fuselage. We do not know yet if transavia is going to lease aircraft from GOL again this year.
Currently, we are working on a fleet update for all of our aircraft. This contains (new) visable details such as; cabin interior, cockpit texture modifications, dirt on the wheels/tail and a personalized .ini file for each aircraft. We will post some pictures of this update on our facebook when it is almost finshed!
Stay tuned!

To install ini:
Drag and overwrite the ini file from the .zip into TRA_*REG* folder. (ex. PH-HSJ.ini goes to TRA_HSJ texture folder). VERY important is to check, the PH-HSJ should boot with the Collins config, were the HZE should boot with the Honeywell config.
To install weathering:
Drag and overwrite both files to the TRA_*REG* folder.
Please give us feedback on how you think about the updates and if the .ini file works.
Brand-NEW aircraft:

Summertour 2018 input
by: Danny Lemckert @ 18-03-2018 15:08z
Dear pilots!
We are going to develop the 2018 summertour. To have some more input from our pilots, we would like to hear which airport do you want to have into this tour? You can reply in our specific 2018 summertour forum topic for your answer!
Two fresh aircraft from the Boeing factory for TVF are coming very soon. As always, we will put the flight into the timetable on the day the aircraft will depart from Renton. The flight closes one day after (due time difference).
Whenever there is a change or update, we will let you know. Hopefully, pictures appear of both aircraft in their jacket before the flight will happen, so we can paint the aircraft!
Kind regards,
Danny

Bug in Costumer Options packag
by: Raymond van der Ploeg @ 14-09-2016 18:46z
Hi All,
We have discovered some very weird errors in the Costumer Options package that was created. It seems that some of the configuration items will not install as they must be. Just to give you an example the Head Up Display is showing on the PH-GUB with a person but an other person the HUD is not showing as it must do. The same is happening whit the MCP settings.
We will try to see for a solution, and perhaps we discovered a little bug in the PMDG software. Thanks for the persons for reporting!

by: Danny Lemckert @ 22-06-2016 06:52z

PH-GUV online!
by: Raymond van der Ploeg @ 22-03-2016 21:28z
Hi All,
The first airplane from GOL is imported in the current timetable. This means the NGX paint can be downloaded from the liveries page.
Unlike previous years you can\'t see any orange GOL details, so no orange engine or what so ever. This has to do with the fact that these planes will remain for a longer time in the Netherlands.
Regards,
Raymond
PS: Jonah thanks for the paint!

Winter and transavia france online!
by: Raymond van der Ploeg @ 15-11-2015 10:22z
Dear Pilots,
The wintertimetable 2015/2016 is released! this means a quantity of flights to winterdestinations but also the flight to the winter sun are available. De famous flights to Innsbruck, Salzburg, Rovaniemi are also will be available again.
As we announced earlier, new this season and new to the virtual airline is the introduction of Transavia France! this means not only flight out of the The Netherlands but also out of France like airports as Paris Orly, Nantes and Lyon. Despite that Transavia France also flying on the same destinations as the dutch part of Transavia they have also their own destinations like Munich, Dublin and Tunis.
When flying for Transavia France you have to realize that their callsign is FRANCE SOLEIL and not as you using with TRA flightplan as callsign TRANSAVIA. The flights in the timetable are also beginning with code TVF. Also when flying online on Vatsm or IVAO the ATC will see you as Transavia France (TVF/TO). When not using this correctly you will be notified and also notify each other.
With the introduction of Transavia France we have some new rules and updated rules. We ask you to read them carefully. What mainly is changed is the correct use of the callsigns but also the use of adhoc flights since you are able now to fly these flight under TVF in or to France airports.
3.2 At all times you are required to login on both networks with a TRA or TVF callsign which can be found at the corresponding flight in the timetable or via events and tours.
3.2a Doing a TRA flight the callsign used is \"transavia\"
3.2b Doing a TVF flight the callsign used is \"france soleil\"
3.7a The adhoc/positioning flights under an TRA callsign are carried out to or from Dutch airports only.
3.7b The adhoc/positioning flights under an TVF callsign are carried out to or from French airports only.
3.7c The flights need to depart or arrive in the area of this map.
When you have any questions left, please mail us or use the forum.
Kind Regards,
Raymond van der Ploeg
