SA Tour Flight #8

[Jakemaster]

Hey guys!  Well Jared asked me to help out with the hop list again, so I planned out the next seven hops taking us from where we left off to Panama City.  So, I will be taking over for a bit as your 'guest planner', Jared will continue to host the sessions (thank you Jared )

On May 20th 2006 starting at 9pm eastern daylight time we shall strive to complete the 8th hop of our trip down to South America!

I'll be flying the default King Air if I succeed in fixing my wifi problem.... btw is there any scenery or terrain mesh I should d/l?

You dont need to download any, but I am going to download and install the SRTM mesh for the area from SimV, Ill tell you which ones to get once I know

[Jakemaster]

You will need the following numbers for the next 7 hops all the way through Central America:

NA05
SA17
SA16
SA14
SA13

EDIT: Get the mesh here

BTW, welcome to the tour Fighting_Falcon!  Believe me, you will have lots of fun flying with us and will want to come back week after week.  I joined the tours around hop 30 of the US tour and Ive tried to come along on every flight since then.  

Also, now that the questions been asked, in future flight info posts I will put the suggested mesh and/or airport sceneries.

Remember, flight time is at 9:00PM Eastern Time TONIGHT!

See yall on the tour!

I'll likely be in the default Baron Turbo, with the FSGenesis mesh installed.  

If you want to download the PC-12 Jake will be using so you see it correctly in the sim........ here's the site:

Not sure about Jake's repaint though??? ?

I might just join you boys. Got the info on TS server, already have TS.

Fly quite a bit over at the FSTopgun server.

I am assuming that we start at MMIT, correct?

And for those in Central time, start is 8pm.

Will be watching for IP post later.

See you pilots there if nothing comes up. Probably be flying a default Baron or King Air.

Not sure about Jake's repaint though??? ?  The base aircraft package has about 4 textures......most private aircraft variations.  There are others separately.

At least it will be the correct plane.  But it is a whopping 43 Meg download!  Thank god for DSL  ;).

Well mine has a repaint added and Ive updated the VC

http://www.alliedfsgroup.com/?RhZbkYiCnAlN5waqbekYkChlg352VnheedmCnmX8yvalhpyhl4ipg22x
This is the page with the repaint, its the zebra striped one, HB-FOO

Jake,

When I unzipped it I found that it has an "autoinstaller" so I am reluctant to run it.  So you might just be in the wrong plane in my screenshots  ;).  Sorry.

Fighting_Falcon,

Don't worry about having all the stuff downloaded and installed.  Start simple  ;).  Most important is opening ports and firewall appropriately.  Jared is on port 23456, I think.

Plan on flying a default aircraft.  If you don't have the plane that Jake (or others) is/are flying.... you'll still see it as one of the dafault planes.  If you don't have the terrain mesh installed.... you'll just have a bit less detail in the terrain and maybe whrn on the ground one of the planes will be above the ground or sunk into it..

It is 7:38 PM Eastern Daylight time as I post this.  Start time is at 9:00 PM EDT ....... so just under 1 1/2 hours from now the "wheels leave the runway".  So plan on checking in about 8:45 local time or so to get set up.

As to using Teamspeak... if it works that's good.  Remember to configure it for Push-to-talk.....not voice actuated.  But if not there is always the chat window and typing.  We tend to use a "blend" of the two.

Look forward to flying with you.  Hopefully we'll have some interesting weather again.  We run real world weather updated actively....and set the time typically to two hours before dusk.

best,

....................john
