well, I guess I might bring back my old idea...kinda fell out of the loop after posting it...but possibly FS2004-FSX if we can find good models...and if I get a new PC this Christmas...then more than likely FS2004-FSX....

Hey....I did say, I guess I might bring back my old idea. Old being the key word...lol

Fozzer...you've got to be one of the coolest chaps here...

[Mobius]

Yeah, I'd try, I don't know how good I'll be though.

[martianfrogz]

we need one more person...then we have the basic diamond...

[Mobius]

...then we have the basic diamond...

If we can get that far.

Any clue which F/A-18 we'll use?

lol...yeah...I watched a thing on TV about them, and what we'll need to do is have the wings of the diamond be in VC looking at the side of the lead's aircraft. the back will look at either side and hold on a point...this is going to take a while

    1               1-flies normally
 2    3            2- watches right side of 1
    4               3- watches left side of 1
                     4- watches left of 2 and/or right of 3

I think we'll use http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military61.htm these textures on an F-18E...and we'll have Fat Albert if we get enough people....what do you think?

[RhinoIL]

Actually, 2 is on the right wing and 3 is on the left.  You're thinking of the Thunderbirds.  

BTW, there already is a Virtual Blue Angels, but they dont use FS.  They use Lock-On.

Here is their website........it is currently down, but they are re-doing their website.

You can view their movie that was released this summer here:

PS- I would suggest you all make sure you have the best connections possible.  This has been tried in FS before and it simply can not be done due to the horrible net code.  

[Mobius]

The VBA in Lock-on are amazing.  I highly doubt we'd be able to be that good, and if the rest of the guys think we will be, maybe I'm the wrong person for a slot.

I agree that FS9 is pretty bad for multiplayer flight, but you might as well try.

[martianfrogz]

Yeah...but you never know...practice makes perfect....

[Isak922]

The reason the VBA are so good, is because of LOMAC's insanely awesome flight model update speed. FS9 is literally hundreds of times slower, even on the best rig. One suggestion I have if you guys are still planning on setting this up, is get TrackIR  ;D Makes the work load MUCH less than it would be without (using POV hats, +/- to zoom, etc etc). Good luck with this if you do go through with it all the way though!
