Hi Jeff. That would be great and the time is right in my time zone +1.Thanks for the invite. Ok, how do I go about joining then? Maybe with the A2A Piper 180 Cherokee?

 

Can you elucidate me please, on what I need and what I need to do? Soem of those sceneries look awesome

 

Thanks.

Rick Almeida

Rick,

 

Quick introduction in this post:

 

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/468958-rtwr-casual-flights-invitation-to-all/

 

Nick (CavalierDuck) is currently planning the next Scotland leg and should have a post up later this week.  Look for a post that starts with "Scotland 2" which will have details about the route this Saturday.  First thing you should do is get your Teamspeak setup for voice communication.  Take a look at the invitation post which will give you links for the freeware client.

Teamspeak or Teamviewer?

 

Okay, will look out for that post.

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: Only have P3D, no FSX, so I guess Teamspeak won't work.

Thanks.

Teamspeak is a standalone app.. does not care about FSX or P3D..

Bert

Thanks for that Bert. Then why the pre-requisite in that link posted above #20  that it will require FSX? I hope it works with P3D. I'm so much looking forward to this.

Rick Almeida

Rick,

 

Teamspeak will work for voice communication for any sim as it is completely separate application.  The problem between MS-FSX, FSX-SE, and P3D is that they each have a different version of simconnect and the multiplayer functionallity is incompatible between them.  Ron Attwood provides an MS-FSX multiplayer server that we connect to for the Saturday sessions, BUT you have to run MS-FSX to connect to the multiplayer session.  You cannot connect to an MS-FSX multiplayer session using P3D or FSX-SE.   If you have MS-FSX you will be able to connect to the multiplayer session.

 

The other multiplayer option is FSHost which will support all three sims but it does have some issues too.

Jeff

 

Thanks for that update.

 

Guess I'll have to pass on this then, as I've fully got rid of MS-FSX and flushed it clean from my system.

 

That conclusively clears that up. I'll just follow all of your adventures and screen postings.

Rick Almeida

Damn! I thought we'd got another customer. :(

The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

Rick,

 

 A "flushed it clean from my system" is a perfect way to start again!  ^_^ 

 

Nick,

 

Here is the original movie quote from which I butchered @ Glen Coe. ( No disrespect at all. - Just a movie quote. SHITE! I be Scottish too! ) 

 

 


Tommy:
Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish?
 
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the f___ing Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any f___ing difference!
