Just a few things you'll need to know for the show...

SimV Airshow Rules

Upon arrival of the server, make your way to LSMU - Buochs, Switzerland.

After having finished your display, taxi over to the spectators' area and switch to the spectator aircraft, the Paper Aeroplane.

When you are approachin the end of your display, let us know! Type "landing" or "last pass" in the text box so we know when the next pilot can prepare to takeoff.

On the map below, the spectator area has been marked with a blue box and the display line marked by a black arrow - obviously you don't always have to display above the runway, you can use the surrounding grass, but don't fly above the crowd - also spectators please sit on the small RWY only.

Try not to speak whilst talking to the pilot flying - you might put them off ;)

Finally, if a pilot (or display team) request no speaking at all in the text box, please comply with their request and don't say anything.

MrJake2002 and myself have been granted admin powers on the server for the show, so failure to comply and/or disregard for other pilots will result in us banning you from the server temporarily!

Just a suggesion, but wouldn't it be better for the crowdline to be on the other side af the airfield next to the control tower? It's just that there's a big hill over there and it's pretty close. Whereas theres plenty of room over the other side behind the crowdline. I just don't see how it's possible to display with that hill there.  :-/

I think you'll find that's exactly what Charlie has done.


I meant over the other side near the longer runway facing away from the hill.

I've been practicing all of my displays using the little runway as the crowdline and have had no problem.

I've been doing the same and ended up hitting the side of the hill.  :-/ Anyway, the chances of me being at the show are looking to be slim.
