I love that Idea!!!!

But who would take the photos and make them into the aircraft???

Everyone can take thier own photos - surely most of us have access to a basic digital camera?  One from the front and one from the back so they can be double sided, then you can see who's coming and who's going!  I can make a basic aircraft template in FSDS3 for walking around, anyone who can repaint a plane can easily paste a bitmap onto it and save it under that user's name.

At 6 polys each it's gotta be easier on the frame rates when a bunch of people get together to watch the airshow.

                     ...not Mrs Clipper...


and my flying club fly-in breakfast event is this coming week-end not the 24th, so it's a go...go...go....I'll contact BAW0343, we may do a Decathlon duo, if I can keep up with him. ;)

I'm hoping I can squeeze more than 2fps out of my rig this time around...

For the human cube could you not just take a picture from the front of you, the back of you and the 2 sides and paste tehm onto a transparent cube to give you a 3d person?
only 1 problem with it however...everybody will have to download each other which could cause some problems.

Really? Where in Montana did you move?


Livingston which is right next Bozeman and about 2 hours from Billings. It's a hole-in-the-wall town with about 7000 people and I moved from Atlanta so it's crazy.

3d is to much,  the 2d would be enough. And scince it is the size of a person we could give all of our "repaints" to one person to upload in one file. The overall size should be less then 3mb so even the slowest internet connectin can get it within a few minutes

Hi all....second attempt (not a lot of bottle with Technology...lol   ;D

Right, this is a screenshot I took after a Refueling exercise with Raf Virtual. As you can see, formation flying can look pretty impressive. Imagine seeing this at the airshow. We have  (and still do) performed airshows on the FSFDT free server, BBFM, Heritage jet, etc.
I like the idea, but unless you can see the other aircraft, out goes the realism. We try to do up a freeware package for distribution to anyone taking part on the night......would it be worth doing here !!!!!!!

Due to 'operational commitments' the Hunter duo has had to be cancelled I'm afraid. :-[

I was quite surprised how capable at Aeros it is. I'm trying to think when I'm going to be free for a practice. This Sunday will probably be the earliest. Busy few days and evenings at work...
