Hey guys,

I have a couple of flights planned for Saturday, March 7th (a week from tomorrow), if anyone is interested.

New York La Guardia (KLGA) - Boston (KBOS)

Gdansk, Poland (EPGD)

See you there!

If it is about 7 PM eastern USA time... I might be able to join you.  (Teamspeak for comms, I hope?)

best,

I'll be there!

Any special scenery?


I have FlyTampa Boston and Imaginesim LGA

7pm sounds good to me.

Scenery:

Just look up the various airports on this page. The airports that we will fly to/from all have great freeware scenery for them.

Grimshaw's (FlyTampa) KBOS scenery is a wonderful peice of freeware.

Yep, I have both!

7pm will be the start time....and I'll be on Teamspeak and in the text chat window!

Already had the KBOS (thanks Sean ) just picked up the AES, didn't know that was free, thanks!

Teamspeak at the ready! 8-) Chat window on standby.

You will now become addicted to AES..... and be begging on the street corner for pennies to buy payware airports and AES credits.

I just realized...

While attempting to work teamspeak today, I realized that I don't have a mic and the one I have doesn't reach.  Do they sell extenders? :-?

I don't know about extenders, but Newegg has plenty of cheap mics.

The one I use is very similar to the Cyber Acoustics CVL-1065B 3.5mm Connector Desktop Microphone listed.


----------------------------
Also, I am reconsidering my personal aircraft choices for these routes. The New York - Boston one will be conducted in my YS-11 turboprop. The Poland - Russia one will still be in a jet, but I am currently looking for options other than the Tu-134. All I ask is that you bring something with similar performance. I did a Boston - JFK flight a few days ago in the YS, and I believe it took around 40 minutes, not counting waiting in a line of AI traffic.

So far, the time of 7pm US Eastern on this coming Saturday should be just fine. I will try to let you guys know if anything comes up that would prevent me from showing up.

I would suggest using real world weather for this trip, but if you are unable or just don't want to, that's fine.

A few other noteworthy items:
Aerosoft's AES service is free and fully active for Boston along with Gdansk, Poland. Highly suggested, but not required.

If I am able to make it, I'll be in my BAe 146-200....which is THE plane I fly  99.9999999% of the time.   (Jon Murchison's in United Express paint.)  KLGA to KBOS blocks to blocks (without AI) likely will be just about 1 hour.

This might just give me an excuse to buy/install the Imaginesim KLGA (which supports Aerosoft's AES).  We'll see.   Already had the Boston scenery for a long time.

best,

I was thinking of getting this:

Do you think it will work?

[edit]Got one for $20.

What channel will we be on for team speak?

I'll have to experiment with TS after dinner.
Watch this space.
