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........

ill try to be there.. but i get out of school at 2:30 est us [7:30 gmt]

Should be there!

Hi Lads...!

Thursday evening looks cool... ...!
...around 8PM...(England Time!)...?
...for a two hour run Northwards...?

Beware of wild Scotsmen flashing their Sporrans......!
LOL...!

Catch you at EGNH, (Blackpool).

Paul... ...!

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

I may join later and ask what the nearest airport is to your current location.

Does anyone know how to work the radar in the Tucano? I can get the display up but it doesn't show any blips even though I have visual on traffic.

Have you tried teamspeak yet Fozz? How did it go with your dialup?

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... ...!

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

Cheers...!

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

* 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...?

I actually deleted some of them by accident.. Stupid me...

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,

Hi Strat... ...!

Welcome to our merry band of extroverts... ...!

The journey is a couple of hundred miles long, so the default General Aviation, Cessna Caravan, (turbo-prop), sounds like an excellent machine for the purpose....  ;)...!

I shall probably try the default Beech Baron 58, twin piston prop...good for fairly quick medium to long distances... ...!

...and navigating with the help of good-old FS Navigator*...!

...just set your compass facing North and you will be fine... ...trust me......!
LOL...!

Cheers Mate...!
