There is a group making a public demonstration of Vatsim at a conference on the 30th of August in Melbourne, Australia.If you have any spare time to log-on between 10am and 2pm AEST (0000 - 0400z) then it would be most appreciated note this will be 5pm til 9pm West Coast USA and 8Pm til midnight East Coast USA on FRIDAY the 29th of August. It would be great to have heaps of traffic for this demonstration (we will be running an ATC centre of sorts with multiple computers in the same room)It would be highly desirable to have voice coms operational for the demonstration as a number of real world student pilots will be here and we are looking to impress ;) though any and all are welcome to participateSome suggested routes include:Melbourne to Hobart rtn:YMML YMHB DCT ML H169 CLARK W710 HB DCTYMHB YMML DCT HB W295 LT H215 WAREN W687 ML DCT Melbourne to Adelaide rtn:YMML YPAD DCT ML H246 AD DCTYPAD YMML DCT AD W109 TBD Y408 ARBEY H119 ML DCT Melboure to Sydney rtn:YMML YSSY DCT ML H129 DOSEL Y59 SY DCT YSSY YMML DCT SY H68 WOL Q38 ML DCT VFR flights and General Aviation aircraft are also encouraged in the YMML area if you like that kind of thing.Melbourne Scenery available here at Avsim.
