ok here's another little update on this,
this is the general route that we will be taking tonight:


starting off at Blackpool heading to carlisle then finally on to Prestwick as our final destination for this evening, then some fun flying around the prestwick area, i might be using real world weather tonight instead of clear skys... which weather that you use is entirely up to you....

Nemo,

Do you realize that the IP you gave is for a flight server out of China/Japan?

[Fozzer]

..a few useful tips if you are using the Autopilot...>>>

EGNH Blackpool.

20 Miles.  

Barrow VOR= 109.40

50 Miles.  

EGNC Carlisle. VOR = 110.70. NDB = 328.0

48 Miles.  

New Galloway NDB = 399.0

23 MIles    

EGPK Prestwick NDB = 355.0 or 426.0

Total distance = 141 Miles.

Cheers all...!

Paul.

So, are we using WS Pilots Server...(to prevent a war with China)... ...!
LOL...!

[Mynameisnemo]

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.....

Hey guys!
 I really wanted to join, but suddenly I can't join any games. I enter the IP, but nothing happens. Weird.. I havent changed a thing, and I havent gotten a new router or anything like that..

[Fozzer]

Thats what i'm hoping its going to turn out like, so far its been a great number of short hops to different airfields....... But, we could land at the different places that people live from here in SimV.......

P.s Theres going to be another "fun flying multiplayer this week" then the Hop later on this week......

Nemo.......

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...!

* I've got the three disks of Just Flight's VFR scenery, but that's really naff... ...!

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

The SimV world mesh is great for the UK as theres only 4 files to download;

EC12
EC13
EC35
EB90

They cover all of England, Scotland and Ireland (excluding the Shetland Islands) and parts of northern France, Holland and Germany.

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

Or lads! I don't really call people 'chaps'...or 'guys'!

[Fozzer]

......Or lads! I don't really call people 'chaps'...or 'guys'!

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

Paul.....Just call me Mr. Fozz*... ... ...!
LOL...!

*...or better still..."Sir Paul"...or..."Your Majesty" ....!

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

"Wizard prang, chaps..."... ...!

Paul,
I use the terrain mesh from SimV but i also use these textures from Avsim:

ukn.zip
http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?L ... DLID=45226

uksw.zip
http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?L ... DLID=45228

uke.zip
http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?L ... DLID=45224

it makes the U.K less flat, and doesn't kill the frame rates as much as some do  ;D
Nemo........

[Tweek]

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!

[Fozzer]

Hi Lads....!
I've just downloaded and installed the scenery mesh for the UK...
EC12, EC13, EC35 and EB90.

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

It's still completely naff, and bears no relationship to the real scenery which I am used to seeing while touring the country on my bike... ...!
Herefordshire is full of hills, and Wales should be full of high mountains, but these just don't appear in the new mesh...very disappointing...!
When flying at 500-1000 feet we should be surrounded by hills, but this is not the case in the Sim...Buggar...!
England gets flatter with each new Flight Sim version...!

Whereas....
My trips around California are totally realistic*, even using the default scenery, (I have installed upgraded scenery and mesh which improves it even more).... ... ... ...!

The UK is the absolute pitts for flying with FS '98/2000/2002/2004... ...!
It's time we took our favourite babies over to California, (or Alaska), and enjoyed a bit of REAL scenery, courtesy of Uncle Bill... ...!
LOL...!

Cheers chaps...!

Paul..G-BPLF......!

* referring to my relief maps of California...

Uncle Bill and his scenery designers really do not like Great Britain...
Trust me... ...!
LOL...!
