Man I would love to go flying everyday this week...but alas my school and work schedule does not permit much flying for the next 4 months or so...

I was thinking Either Tuesday or Wednesday for the hop,

Still trying to decide where to fly from/too in the U.K at the moment any ideas anyone?

Nemo

Ok, A little update on this, looks like its going to be Wednesday.

Eno i regularly fly low in jets around North of Scotland on Fs9, could be a good choice,

Also looking still at the Vintage/G.A aircraft to fly, but Depends where's chosen i might Be in the Lancaster or seafire just to be different lol.

Nemo

Just give me a time and an IP/password and I'll try to make it .

That sounds good to me!

We just have to make sure everyone has each others aircrafts, so we don't get a Beech King Air 350, in formation with a couple of B29s, that would look seriously odd.

But then again, I wanted to fly WoP B-17 or B-29, and if you guys don't own that, I don't expect you to go out and buy it.

So if we really want some kick-ass screenshots, we have to use freeware aircrafts, all of us.

What do you guys think?

Good idea To post the aircraft that you are going to be using John

This is Most probably the aircraft that i'm going to be flying The Avro Lancaster found here at SimV;
http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/syb.cgi?section=vintage&file=lanc_dam.zip .

Or the B29 also found here at SimV.

John,

I've just checked my location is on GMT, so it would mean that it would be 3pm there. i have just set up the server and the flight is called "Heathrow to Luton" if possible i could host another flight later on in the evening for anyone who would like to fly then.

This is the Rough flight Plan shown below

We will be starting off at EGLL Heathrow at the Large GA Ramp, and Landing at EGGW Luton.

Nemo

p.s This is open to anyone who would like to join in.

Not sure about the voice comms John still trying to get skype set up correctly.

But as i said in an earlier post, i will be hosting another flight later on in the evening which you are more than welcome to join in......

Hi guys,

Sorry that it didn't work i'm going to try the WSP server now and see if it works then if any one would like another try?

Nemo ....throwing modem out of window.... lol

Nemo,

You are burning the midnight oil!

Fozzer,

No, that IP address and the port number was the standard for that machine on WSPilots.  There are three servers...each intended for a different set of Hop Lists.  I THINK the port numbers are 23456 , 23457, and 23458.  Those get changed in the "Client Settings" screen in the multiplayer setup.

I do have to remind you that you need to have those ports open in your firewall and router/dls modem / cable modem though.  When there are a lot of people on sometimes the WSP server owners do a "port scan" and boot people whose systems are not set up correctly.  If you read their forums... you'll see it is a "hot issue".  I used the 23456 server simply because iot was the default port setting...and I didn't want to get into explaining how to change those  on the short time frame then .

They are open public servers to my knowledge.... which means that you don't HAVE to register in the WSP system.  But if you are going to fly there regularly..... it would be a good courtesy.

As to "recognizing" each other........ that is what tail numbers are for.  When you sign in... use the same one all the time.  After a while....... you'll get "known".  Just like hanging on SimV........ we ALL know who Fozzer is  .

You also can use the chat system.  Or you can log onto the WSPilots Teamspeak channel and use voice there. When they are running a live ATXC session you HAVE to use Teamspeak.   In the chat window type "?TS" and you'll get the connection info for their Teamspeak server.   I have found Teamspeak to be VERY simple to setup and use.

Some flight servers require that you use a "realistic" tail number... so mine works OK most anywhere.  That means that "ShootToKill876" is not acceptable but something like "WB554" or "TWA-132" would be.  

For online flying I am always N100JB on every server.  "N" for a USA call sign...... "100" because it is easy to hear and remember ....... and "JB" for obvious reasons  .

best,

..........................john

Sorry couldn't make it ....... Kids, Cats, Dog and Wife all had designs on my time. 

I may get on WSPilots this evening..... or maybe on ESkyWorld.  Not sure which.  Or if I will have time.

If so... I'll be in the BAe 146-200 though.


best,

..................john
