Welcome, SimViators to the next Airshow Announcement!

If you're wondering where it'll be held, now we'll reveal it.....get ready to visit KOSH (ID of airfield) in the USA, for a great airshow!
And I hear you ask....when do we hold the airshow?
The airshow should be held on on either April 15th or April 16th.....the time is yet to be determined.
(EDIT: New airshow date is Saturday 22nd April)

We also need to know what you'll be flying. Please state what you're flying AND post a link for others to be able to see you! Preferably, the files should have small sizes for dial-up users, and it would be better if the models were AI - better on framerates.

Next announcement coming soon!

Just want add one thing...

File sizes
If you want to fly a particular aircraft, and there is a 20mb option, and a 1mb option, please fly the 1mb aircraft!
However, if this causes a problem, in terms of flight dynamics... not to worry!

Say we have Aircraft1 (20mb) and Aircraft2 (1mb). You do not like the flight dynamics of Aircraft2, therefore you want to fly Aircraft1. All you need, is a change of .air files.

1. Copy 'Aircraft1.air' (or whatever it may be) from the main Aircraft1 folder.
2. Paste this into the Aircraft2 folder.
3. Make a note of 'Aircraft2.air' (preferably, back it up), and then delete it.
4. Rename 'Aircraft1.air' to 'Aircraft2.air'. (note: you need to type in the '.air' bit, else it is only recognised as a 'File'.

Simple as that Wink


As with last time, the entire aircraft list will be posted with the programme, with details on where to download them.

I myself will be flying the freeware AlphaSim/Bob Chicilo RF-4C Phantom.

Next weekend?  Easter?  I'm going out one day over the Easter break, but the weather will determine which day so I can't be sure of attending or not.

Want to set up a couple of pylons and have a quick 3-lap race as part of the show?

Mmm, I'm inclined to agree with you there. I'm almost certainly away, and I expect with the holiday then a lot of people will be visiting rellies/in laws/family etc...

Right here we go then, I hope were allowed to do more than 1 display  Grin

My apologies to 56k users, but I couldn't find any smalled ones. Just leave them downloading overnight or when you go to the shops 8) 8)

First of all the I3D B1B lancer;
http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military37.htm

You dont have to download the textures or the sound as Ill be using the texture that comes with the main package

Also Yaetsu Yoshimitsu and Hiroaki Kubota's B52;
http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military31.htm

Anyone notice the theme??

.Mic

PS if anyone wants to do a flyby such as classic jets (VC10, Concorde and B707 or something similar) then PM me

btw Ecko noticing your post 10Mb is just under 1 hour for a 56k user (I only recently got broadband

I'm hoping to be there, not sure what i'll be flying though, might do another display in a spitfire but i'm hoping that someone would like to do a full aerobatic formation display with different aircraft?

The default Schweizer is an ideal plane for spectators, it can't make any noise and they've got it installed already.
