Hy, Mike!The Commander 115T is a GA-Plane, a single engine Prop, if I remember correctly. Well, I had the opportunity to fly with one of them in the past and can state, that it is a really comfortable aircraft!Regarding cruise-speed:I tried to intercept some slow AI-aircrafts the last two hours, and figured that it is nearly impossible to do when their speed drops below 140 knots. I

I would like to try to join. Who or how do I do that. Do I type on a NAME? I.P. only? Do I need the Trade site? Forgot what it was? I have just tried to join 64.173.199.100 but no go.

Throttle back all the way, go nose high and you can maintain 130-140 just above the stall using power to keep you airbourne. (Full flaps) Trim to stabilise this configuration. ;-)

Sorry, Lowell, that's not your fault. I couldn't get my machine to host properly. I think Tornado is still hosting, so you might try him.Otherwise it's just an IP address you type. Right now we haven't got the final one (if we get desperate I just thought of a way I could host -- I could remove my router and go direct. However, that would take me about 30 minutes to reconfigure my machine, and I'm hoping Michael will have his host up *way* before that).

Thanks for the advice, Tornado. Hopefully I won't have to use it .(I'm just a slow-flying GA man at heart, but willing to take a chance if we need it)

Hy!In my F-16 Flaps, Spoiler and Trim working great. I use Jamal Ingrams F-16C Block 30 available at Project OpenSky with the "AI-Radar-Panel" that was suggested earlier. The only problem with this aircraft is its difficult handling on the ground.And, I have my buttons on Fs2K2 default.Maybe this will help you.:-)Danny

Not to be a stickler or anything ... but that's my job. :)The baton CANNOT be carried by another jet. Jets are not allowed to carry the batons according to the rules. However, fighter jets MUST accompany the baton-carrier.There are two ways to handle the "jets don't fly slow so good" problem. One: Use a fast (turboprop) plane. Those of us with slower can either join late and fly along for a few minutes (which is fine). Two: The jets can fly in a moving circle around the baton-carrier ... say 2 miles out?Finally, as to how to be in a screenshot without being too close ... the picture-taker can turn on the labels for other aircraft. Even if a plane isn't QUITE in range enough to be seen, we can see their speck and their name.--Tony

Thanks. I have just started with MSFS MultiPlay but I think I had a host session running. So I can put it up again if need be. Not that I want to host. I would rather join. I was with Heathrow Boys on 198.93.73.146 but did a disconnect due to the time of day it is now.But I am looking for our session--should we go to Tradeip to get it?I see 64.173.199.100 is GREEN Lighted on Trade IP but I could not find it to join. Maybe because I did not have a session name.

If you're still unsure and wish to practice connecting to a MP session, feel free to try this IP. My F16 is parked on the ground at Sandtoft, however feel free to use the airspace.217.135.42.26

Two: The jets can fly in a >moving circle around the baton-carrier ... say 2 miles out? Given that, I'll volunteer for the second jet IF no one else will. I mean it, if *anyone* else at all wants to do this, I'd rather escort the baton carrier in in my trusty Baron. But I've flown enough now in the F16 to at least be able to hang in there (I hope).

Do we need a session name? An TradeIP anything? I'll go try.

After looping around with Tornado Wilkes who flew up from heathrow i spent what would be my last few minutes with the baton at a quiet corner of the airport in the darkness....one tear falling down my face..what a ride. After all the reporters and incidents finally i can let go..well hopefully, the baton is at EGCF

well i have the baton but i feel its not gonna be for that longin order for me to give up the baton i would like to see at least two miliry jets confirmed and an ip address confirmed, i would like to be in the air by 6:30 EST so if everyone would like me to host the main event just let me know right here in the forums, i will be amending this message to answer new post and inquires

As I said, I'll fly the second jet (unless someone else wants to Please Please) and Danny has committed to the first. We're ready to go if someone has a good (broadband) IP for us.
