The simV International Airshow - Feedback...

[cspyro21]

Well, it appears that you lads liked the airshow!
Tweek and I wanted to know though - is it worth doing again next/month/year/whenever, if so, what we could improve etc.
We also want to thank all of you for coming to the show and having a fun time!

It was great!  I suggest that we find something different for spectators.  The best thing would be if someone could make like a 1 poly plane (as in flat piece) and then texture it to look like a person.

I'm sure a nice low-poly AI plane would do, nothing special, an AI cessna or cherokee or something.

I populate all my airfields with the help of LAGO's "Flight Sim Enhancer", people, animals, aircraft, vehicles, buildings, vegetation, etc....
..'trubble is....everyone has to have the payware program installed...!
It really works then...!
(I like it)...!

Otherwise...
Someone would have to publish a scenery add-on, (similar to the above), for the proposed airfield, using whatever scenery designer program is out there...?
It's a good idea tho'... ...!

Cheers all...!

Paul... ...!

I found a new aerobatic glider!  Expect to see some amazing gliding next time....

Actually your all wrong! It was me who said, "Why dont we get someone to make a blank model or a simple cube for the spectators?" Twas a great airshow, I agree with the speed though, either we have to find a really good server or slow the displays down.

Crap, I forgot all about it. Maybe I'll remember next time

I'm sad I wasn't able to join you, but if you decide to do another later, hopefully...

As there are people from all around the world, why not to name one different guy each time to choose the display place in his country, so he would somehow be the host and we would be his guests. it would allow us to discover nice place in country we may not fly too often...
if you see the idea...

Now THAT is a good idea!!

3. Better disapline with regards to the time table. Especialy with heavies, it's good to know in advance as they can be 'en route' or in the air paused just out of range so there isn't the mucking about trying to manouver, etc.

As it may sound like a good point, it's impossible to stick to the original time table, as people do have to leave earlier than expected, so they have to perform their display before the ones who can stick around. I created the original programme as one to work around, so at least we had some sort of order, with room for late comers, and.. 'early-goers'

Monthly or bi-monthly meetings sound good, probably bi-monthly while the SimV race season is still on.

A spectator texture sounds excellent!  A plane in FS9 can typically have 30,000 polygons, you could make a flat 2D spectator easily enough but why not a 3D spectator with about 300 polygons?  A small crowd (say 10 people, all variations on the same theme) would be 3,000 polygons.  10 of these crowds would take no more resources than a single plane parked on the sidelines, but look like 100 people milling about watching the show!  Anyone got the skills/knowledge to make something like that?

Having a theme for some of the airshows sounds good.  WW2, Golden Age, biplanes, gliders, ultralights, fast jets, etc.  How about taking a real airshow, putting the details on SimV, and recreating it using the same planes?

The server needs to be chosen in advance, and checked out to make sure everyone can use it.  Then stay there!  If it has to be MSN Game Zone, then so be it (I haven
