In the topic before this Xfalcon talks about a virtual airshow in FSX being done on a different server. I was wondering if we could organize one for here on our server preferably in FS2004 as it runs better on most people's systems.
I was thinking of gathering a list of good free-ware planes for people to download so during the show you actually see what plane they are flying. Wanna-be performers can pick an aircraft from the list (or add one) and do a performance in it (maybe multiple). My favorite airshows have a warbird event, modern military, modern hardcore aerobatics, then some 'gentle' aerobatics in non-traditional aerobatic planes like Matt Younkin in the Beech 18 or Gene Soucy in the Showcat(modified Grumman AgCat). Any thoughts?
No need to get crazy with aerobatics, crashes will be turned on so if you crash, your demo is done.

This would not be a very rigorously detailed and organized event with specific performance times, basically one after the other. Someone will have to be the 'show boss' to coordinate who can take off, land, enter the show box, etc.

I do not mind organizing this if people are interested.
Any flight demo is welcome, STOLs, aerobatics, warbird showcase, formation flights, team demos, comedy, etc. Speaking of comedy routines, I was thinking of trying the 'drunken flying' that Kyle Franklin does. I might have to add some HP to the default Cub though  Grin

The Sim V, FS 2002 and FS 2004 Air-shows used to be very popular in the somewhat distant past, then enthusiasm dropped off and it was no longer well supported.
Note: This was at a time when everyone and his dog was using FS 2002/FS 2004, and FSX was just a twinkle in Uncle Bill's eye!

It takes quite a lot of organising...with very strict rules applying!.
Buzzing, and over-flying the spectators by rogue Pilots was strictly prohibited.
Only single planes, or groups of planes, were allowed to be in the air at any one time, under the strict control of the organiser.
And all had to land before the next group took off.

A suitable Default Airfield had to be selected, common to everyone.
Note: FSX and FS 2004 scenery doesn't mix very well!

Aircraft were a mix of default aircraft, and pre-selected aircraft, from a pre-published list only.

Non-participants and Visitors on the ground had to be using the; "Paper Aeroplane"* to ease band-with and frame-rates. With engines switched OFF!

Frame rates locked to 20 FPS max.

A lot of work and organising is involved... Wink...trust me!...!

(And its a BIG disappointment if no-one turns up on the day!)

..and don't forget..."TIME ZONES" around the World!.... Grin...!

Note: For the Sim V Multiplayer Server, (178.63.253.134), the necessary password must be requested beforehand.
(Useful to prevent outsiders from gate-crashing the events!).

Good luck...... Smiley...!

Paul....FS 2004 + FS Navigator Radar... Cool...!

I supose FSX can now be introduced too.
I know there are some airports wich have the same mesh in FSX and FS9 from my flights with fozzer. Wink

And I doubt anyone would join except me in a piper or possibly a WACO taperwing doing crazy stuff,you in another WACO and of course fozzer in his cessna. Grin

I am now imagining the airshow:

HERE COMES JETPROP IN HIS MODIFIED WACO TAPERWING!!!
CRASH


Ehhh,jetprop had a dentist apointment.
Now onto 'Wahubnah' Adam!
'Yes thank you,I will be flying the WACO great lakes modified ..bla...blablabla...blablabla...'
OK SHUT UP ADAM!

Due to a tragic accident Adam can't perform today,we'll go onto our last show; FOZZER IN HIS CESSNA!!!
I'll now signal paul to take off; 'Paul,you can take off now'
'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'

YOU ARE F##KING SLEEPING YOU OLD MAN??!!!!

Memories of lots of fun and laughter with a good crowd of Sim V Multiplayer Friends who have long since disappeared...

A rare occasion when aerobatics was actually allowed in a Multiplayer Session!

Fun times!

Grin Grin Grin thanks Jetprop

Well doing ad-hoc stuff with small groups is fun still, I am willing to work on organizing one but obviously it would be later in the summer.

Somethings to think about though for me, thank you for the response guys.

In the mean time, I will continue to put on ad-hoc airshows with who ever is doing a multiplayer session with me. I try to follow real world airshow rules and be 'safe'.

Currently trying to pick which default planes are capable of some aerobatics in FS2004. Cessna 172 makes the cut, Cessna 208 lacks a bit of elevator response but its power and high lift wings make for a lot of fun!
Next the Mooney, Baron, and Kingair.

I already had Reno, but thank you for Moffett field. I hope to be getting UT USA, UT Canada/Alaska, and GE Pro soon as well. When I install those I was going to go through all my addon scenery and dumb some excess junk.

I stuck with a real-world equivalent amount of added HP in the default 172: Lycoming AEIO-360 putting out 200hp.

On that note, how can one add a smoke system to a sim bird?

Through the aircraft.cfg file, copy the [smokesystem] lines from the extra-300 and past it into the aircrafts.cfg
