Hi James, and welcome to the team. StoneCOld (Dave) will have to give you access to the Team AVSIM Private forum where you can get our teamspeak and multiplayer server addresses. We've only just started practicing, so there's still plenty of time left. So far we've been checking how our server and connections are holding up, and we'll start into baton hand-offs a little later.It won't be long 'til you can join us in multiplayer.

Another warm welcome James :) Welcome Aboard

Hi guys,Sorry for the late reply. I've been away from Avsim for toooo long. This new forum will take some getting used to. I missed last year's race but I'm hoping to pitch in this year. Vitals as follows:( Callsign ) CB or Craig( Flightsim version ) both( Experience in Flightsim ) GA, warbirds, tubeliners, Concorde, the "classics", *some* rotary wing (I can get it up and down in one piece most of the time :( )( Timezone =/- UTC ) UTC -5

Good to see you back Craig :(

Bryan and Mike thanks for the welcome. I was waiting for paperwork to clear but I'll assume I am free to join the practice? James

Yes, although it's been pretty quiet around here recently. You'll need access to the private forum for the server details, of course. We're using a Hamachi VPN and Teamspeak, so you could download and install those while you're waiting. Practice has been a bit intermittant so far, and we haven't had a chance to get serious about baton hand offs yet - plenty of time!

Perfect timing, I'm off for two weeks starting on the 15th! :( ( Callsign ) Bheidema( Flightsim version ) FS9 ( Experience in Flightsim ) What ever you need me to fly! ( Timezone =/- UTC ) UTC +1

Just bumping as this is not Stuck :)

what's the rules for this race? I'm interested, but not sure.

The rules change slightly from year to year just to keep it interesting. For example last year details regarding the route teams should follow were released 24 hours before the race which meant a fury of planning during those 24 hours and a lot of stress. This kind of race pre-planning will change this year with teams only able to plan one continent ahead at a time.You can get an overview of this years race here: http://www.fsrtwrace.com/Being a team member involves logging into our multiplayer facilities which include a Teamspeak server for communication, waiting for a race leg to be allocated to you and flying the leg with a race tracking device called The Duenna which logs your progress.You can get the Duenna here: http://johannesmueller.com/fs/web/duenna/This year we are using Teamspeak 3 which you can get here: http://www.teamspeak.com/You'll need to get the addresses of the servers we're using to join us in multiplayer but have a look at these sites, and the race forum, and let us know if you're still interested.Good luck and welcome to the team.

Thanks for all the info. When does the race start and end? I want to make sure it doesn't interfere with the other stuff in life.

The race begins next Saturday at 1400 UTC which doesn't give you much time to prepare. It's definitely doable if you're interested. For example last year we had a guy join us in the middle of the race which was interesting, and he did really well!The race usually takes about four days. It's run in real time so it means long hours of racing around the clock.
