-'''Please note:''' In older PALM versions data output for virtual flights has 4 unlimited dimensions - time, x-, y-, and z-position. Unfortunately, assignment of more than one unlimited dimension per NC file is only possible with NetCDF4 / HDF5. For this reason [../runtime_parameters#netcdf_data_format netcdf_data_format] must be > 2. \\

 Furthermore, the flight module must be activated directly from the beginning of a job chain with restart runs although the actual flight leg might be carried out later during and or between some of the restarts.
