  1. Hello All, The Good Times Gang at FlightSim would like to announce an event ... open to all .... both sim versions .... that will recreate and commemorate "Operation Vittles" .... or as it is more commonly known ... The Berlin Airlift. This is produced by Glenn Broome VP of Multiplayer at DC-3 Airways ,,, the FlightSim Multiplayer Adventures Forum will simply be hosting on our servers .... FSHost and TS3 also housing what has become a rather large discussion thread at: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?267478-Upcoming-Event-Series&p=1805740#post1805740 Have a look and let us know if you would be interested in participating. The event is going to be broken up into four parts at around two hours a piece .... live, begining at 1900Z on 23 NOV which is a Saturday and will run at the same time on the next three consecutive Saturdays. You are welcomed to participate in any one of the sessions or of course all four. Glenn has ingeniuosly incoroprated the use of FSrecorder in multiplayer to beef up the skies with hundreds of aircraft going about the routes that were actually flown in the operation. If interested you will need to choose a route for the day(s) ..... these routes have the specific aircraft assigned to them that were used for this purpose .... an intersting selection of mostly propliners manufactured in the UK .... not just a bunch of DC-3's. Impossible to make clear all of the details here .... please check out the thread at FlightSim. Everything needed can be downloaded and installed from the DC-3 Airways website: http://www.dc3airways.com/special_events/bal_4/bal.htm Seems massive and it truly is, but every provision has been accomodated and included right down to the individual flight plans for each dispatch in all know extensions .... pln, fsn, fsc, etc..... scenery folders, all of the aircraft and their textures, all of the necessary FSrecorder files. Hope some of you can enjoy all or part of this brilliant event by Glenn Broome. Please post intention to participate and choice of route to the FlightSim thread. Cheers, Austin
  2. This is the RTWR's 10th Anniversary ... (2003 being the first year, we have to include in it in the count) ... never the same twice and hands down the best online event in any arena from Flight Simulator to online Checkers.I suppose that would be because it's "Live" ...No do overs, and situations that demand immediate resolve that come out of nowhere (for the most part) at places in the sim world that are new and unfamiliar.All of your instinct and attained knowledge exercised to it's fullest as well as all of the fine descriptions already posted here of the taxation on your personal flying skills, and desire to not let the team down.Shoved through a funnel created by that year's rules ... It's like all of the energy you can muster is being drawn and pushed at the same time and you have one shot to make the right directive ... 24/7!No way to replicate that with anything that I know about.Would have to include the priceless byproduct of the camaraderie across the entire community even if for just a while during the year. I'd really love to see ... one year soon perhaps ... the baton and wingmen of each team flying on the same server.For quite a few times in the last few races we could have literally waved at each other .... we were that close.Last year there was only 5 minutes that separated 2nd and 3rd ... this after running flat out for 5 days straight ... and I lost count of how many times the lead changed hands ... just incredible excitement!Brilliant and absolutely free ... one must participate to "get" what would take volumes to try to explain in writing.The experience can not be conveyed .... it simply has to be captured through being there in person.
  3. Late thought here, but it would be good to include AV or AVSIM (if there's enough room) after your forum name and first name.[fourmname - yourname - AVSIM] as an example.I found that helpful in the past.See everyone a little bit later.Cheers,
  4. EVENT:A Celebration or Commemorative Event is held each year by the victors of the RTW ... This year it will be our honor to be the host.WHERE:At the Princess Juliana Airport (TNCM) at Saint Maarten anywhere at the airport except right in the runway in either FSX or FS9 ... FSHost IP is 67.240.51.120 and Teamspeak 2 will be available at 67.240.51.120:8768Password for both servers will be: ReggieF5421 ... copy and paste just that wayWHEN:Saturday 26 February 2011 at 1700 ZULUTHEME:Theme for the event will be "Flying Circus" after one of the team challenges from this year's race.Please join the session in any WW I aircraft like the ones allowed in the RTW ... if you don't happen to have any of those the default Curtiss Jenny will do ... and if you're in FSX with none of the above aircraft then just use the Piper Cub.After a very brief welcome statement to our guests we will all or as many as desires take off for a short jaunt to nearby Clayton J. Lloyd Int'l Airport (TQPF) on Anguilla Island at Wallblake ... just over 10 NM away and either land or continue touring the area while sharing stories amongst ourselves about this year's race.Drinks are on FlightSim ... Doug (350BC_Doug) has graciously prepared small scenery file for the occasion that will set up shelters with tables and benches, coolers and a firepit for grilling your own food or enjoying the food that will be catered by a local establishment.His scenery file RTW2011_BBQ.zip can be downloaded here:http://smithplanet.com/fs2004/RTW2011_BBQ.zipLook forward to seeing as many folks as are able to attend.Cheers,
  5. Hey All,I'm trying put together an event this Fall that would have us finding our individual ways from one point to the next using only Radio Range Stations and receivers or any other device that would have been available at that time. That time would have even been before NDB's,,,,,what?,,,,yup. If you haven't seen or heard about any of this for Flight Simulator then pick up the rr40.zip download from FlightSim's library,,,,it's other places too,,,,just don't remember all of them,,,,and have a look-see at it and tell me (reply) what you think.You can have a look at this too: http://forums.flightsim.com/vbfs/sho...d.php?t=215234 It would probably take a similar seperate event (here) to cut down on the number of pilots.I'lve made this same post at SOH too.After everybody (that gives a hoot) has had a chance to get their feet wet (bring some soap if you want) then the event this Fall would be an open door challenge or Rally of some sort TBD.We would need to come up with a time and date for this preliminary event I'm talking about right now. It would take around two hours and could be flown at a different location on the map.Thoughts,,,comments?
  6. Hello All,The 2010 Around the World Race Celebration Event is scheduled for Saturday February 27th 2010. Team FlightSim will be hosting a Celebration Event and cordially invites team members from all four of the websites that participated in this year's Microsoft Flight Simulator Around the World Race. Please check the Official RTW Race forum for details.http://www.fsrtwrace.com/forum.htm
  7. Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas to all you guys and your families!.... :(
  8. LOL......I should watch myself a little closer too.....
  9. If those "tuff" guys would show up more than once a year then they wouldn't have to worry about what somebody thought,,,,they would know.Clueless to the fact that it was a simultaneous joke that was being shared by these three websites for the first time ever.Pretty sad when you think about it.Hats off to you and Dave....
