Hi guys,

Tommorrow i'm hoping that we can all continue on the uk tour, starting at EGNH (blackpool) flying To Prestwick (EGPK) but calling for a top up of fuel at EGNC (carlisle),
Unsure on how long this flight will take to complete as usual General Aviation aircraft will be used.

The server we will be using for the flight Tommorrow will be a 2002/2004 server, i.p address 221.203.169.108 .

Hope to see you all there.

Nemo........

Should be there!

So 19 PM GMT, if so, I should be there!

Hi 61... ...!

Teamspeak....?
Nah....downloaded it, tested it, but haven't tried it in Multiplayer*...
John B reckons it's a no-no using dial-up, and I don't have any probs with using the chat window anyway... ...!

Note: I always fly the default planes, knowing that everyone else will have them in their hangar... 8)...!

For anyone who is using a downloaded plane that no-one else has, it wont appear on other flyer's screens... ...!

Cheers...!

Paul....(Hereford).... 8)...!

* If you use Teamseak for voice communication, do you loose the engine sounds, and other sound effects in the headset, similar to wearing a David Clark, noise suppressing "active" head-set in a real aircraft...?

Fozzer,

It all depends on how you set it all up.

If you have one computer and one sound card... then the Teamspeak audio gets "mixed" right into the audio strream coming from the sim.  In fact... you might have to adjust the levels of one or both to get them balanced appropriately.

If you have TWO sound cards installed in one computer, you CAN direct the teamspeak sound to one card and the regular windows audio (the sim) to the other.  That would allow you to put the headphones ande microphone on one sound card....and the speakers for the sim on the other.  Quite realistic.

In my simpit I have multiple computers running to "drive" the various functions of the pit.  On the one that displays the glass cockpit ND and the standby backup instruments I also run Teamspeak.  This computer accesses the net via the simpit LAN and the DSL modem.   The sound card's in and out are connected to jacks on the "real fake panels " that I hook my headset into.  Output can be switched to a separate open speaker, if I want it there.

So the cockpit itself has only the sounds normally associated with the cockpit itself in it.... like wind noise, avionics sounds, and engines.  ONLY comms audio comes thru the headphones...........except for a tad of cockpit noise that gets fed back in thru the microphone from the background.  Again VERY realistic.

Hope this info helps.

best,

Hello all: If all runs Ok on my comp, perhaps, Ill try to be here. The default Caravan is Ok for this flight?

Regards from Spain.

Ok. Thank you for the link Fozzer

I BELEIVE that is 1900 GMT or UTC.

I might make it too.  Just installed FSGenesis terrain mesh for all of Europe too! 

best,

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

Nemo,

Do you realize that the IP you gave is for a flight server out of China/Japan?  It has a really high data lag time at least from NA.... WSPilots is typically about 60 and this one is about 330.  Plus I can't read what the server policies are on the website... so do we know if we are in "violation" of their rules by not using Teamspeak...or by not XXXXXXXXX?

Just stuff to consider.

best,

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

We will be using the WSP server if we are all using FS2004, but if there is someone that is using fs2002 we will have to change to a 2002/2004 server:

WSP i.p:  66.147.177.125 (23458 Yellowstone)
CFSO i.p: 221.203.169.108

Hopefully within the next few days i'll have sorted the hosting problem out so i'll hopefully be hosting them from next week onwards,.

So its WSP tonight then.......

Nemo...... starting sim up in 20mins.....

Hi Lads.... ....!

Loads of fun had by all... ...!

Need more soon...LOL... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF... 8)...!

Had a good Dog-Fight with Mr Mugel at the end...as you do... ...!

LOL...!

Yeah, Fozzer, fun it was....

Excellent idea, Lads... ...!

I just need to get some decent Mesh* for Great Britain to replace the extremely FLAT! scenery that Uncle Bill has cursed us with... ...!
...any recommendations...?

I like the short hops from one field to the next, good practice for take-off's and landings and makes navigating a bit of fun......!

...and it's all performed in "England Time", which means I have Supper and get to bed at a sensible hour......!
LOL...!

Cheers Lads...!

Paul....default GA aircraft...!

P.S. ..Just remember. Over our side of the Pond it's "Chaps" NOT "Guys"... ... ... ... ..."

Ta for the link, Mr. Tweet... ...!

LOL...!

...anything, except "Guys"... ...!
LOL...!

"Wizard prang, chaps..."... 8)...!

Yeah, I had them meshes installed, but I installed the SimV one's over them, didn't notice much of an improvement...they're probably the same!

Paul ............ you'll need to alter your FS9.cfg ........ Find the setting for terrain_max_vertex change the value to 21, if you haven't already done so.

Maybe I should do that too then!

Hi eno...!

Thanks for the tip.... ...!

It has certainly lifted the hills up, somewhat....
...but still looks nuffin' like my surrounding rolling countryside as viewed from the cockpit of my real Cessna 152... ...!
...and the Welsh mountains are still pretty flat, from what I know of them...
...but it is an improvement...

Cheers eno...!

Paul... 8)...!

(I wonder what "terrain_max_vertex = 50" would look like....the Alps...?)... ...!
LOL...!

I think 21 is the highest that fs2004 recognizes.  I THINK the range is 19 to 21.

best,

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

It only makles a difference if the mesh is of a higher resolution than the "default" that M$ put in.

best,

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

Hi Tweek...!

The default resolution is "19".
After installing any of this this mesh, it is recommended changing it to "21"

http://www.simviation.com/fsdterrainsrtm.htm

Have a peek at the "readme" file... ...!

Changing the number to 21 seems to accentuate parts of the land heights slightly, (hills are higher, and peakier!)...!

For one of the highest "default" resolutions, (37m), in the sim, pop over to Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles... 8)...!

Cheers Mate...!

Paul.

One thing I did notice...>>>
Quote:
Find and open up FS2004.CFG file in NOTEPAD and scroll down until you find the [TERRAIN] section. Edit this line shown below to read as I have it here:  [TERRAIN] TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21  Leave all other entries under [TERRAIN] alone.  Save your changes to FS2004.CFG, and close Notepad.
End Quote.

after changing the value from 19 to 21, the rivers and streams now have "proper" banks, ie, they are now sunk into the ground, as they should be...  8)...!

(The roads where they pass over them, also sink down into them...but a small price to pay...)... ...!

Paul....paddling in a stream somewhere near you... ...!

John...
In this thread I get the feeling that we are attached to each other by a short piece of string... ... ... ... ...!
LOL...!
Paul....

Hang on tight while I leap across these newly-found sunken streams on my motor-bike... 8)...!
LOL... ...!
