The Sim V, FS 2002 and FS 2004 Air-shows used to be very popular in the somewhat distant past, then enthusiasm dropped off and it was no longer well supported.
Note: This was at a time when everyone and his dog was using FS 2002/FS 2004, and FSX was just a twinkle in Uncle Bill's eye!
It takes quite a lot of organising...
with very strict rules applying!.
Buzzing, and over-flying the spectators by rogue Pilots was strictly prohibited.
Only single planes, or groups of planes, were allowed to be in the air at any one time, under the strict control of the organiser.
And all had to land before the next group took off.
A suitable
Default Airfield had to be selected, common to everyone.
Note: FSX and FS 2004 scenery doesn't mix very well!
Aircraft were a mix of default aircraft, and pre-selected aircraft, from a pre-published list only.
Non-participants and Visitors on the ground had to be using the; "Paper Aeroplane"* to ease band-with and frame-rates. With engines switched OFF!
Frame rates locked to 20 FPS max.
A lot of work and organising is involved... ;)...trust me!...!
(And its a BIG disappointment if no-one turns up on the day!)
..and don't forget..."TIME ZONES" around the World!.... ;D...!
Note: For the Sim V Multiplayer Server, (178.63.253.134), the necessary password must be requested beforehand.
(Useful to prevent outsiders from gate-crashing the events!).
Good luck...... :)...!
