Misadventures in FS2002

Postby Paz » Fri Apr 25, 2003 6:47 pm

Thanks to FSTipster and Cherokee-6 I have my website up and running. I have started documenting my misadventures as a simpilot.
 My flight sim adventures are not nearly as flashy as most, I never planned to make my journal public, so I never took any screenshots, but for anyone interested, I will add updates and try to get caught up to where I am currently. Which is Hong Kong.
As I continue my flight around the world I will start keeping screenshots, and in the future my flight log will be more interesting.
 You can visit my site and get to know me on my home page, or you can click on FS2002 and go directly to my journal, which starts at the very beginning of my flight career. I will post here when updates have been added.
I hope everyone gets a kick out of it. And please don't be too hard on me.

One of the best first efforts at a website I've seen Paz - excellent, particularly with the limitations of the tools I know you had to work with.

Very interesting too - and I haven't got to the flightsim stuff yet! ;D

 Misadventures has been updated
 Thanks to everyone who has visited my site and is enjoying it, I added to the FS2002 section this morning, starting from Learning to land really big planes
I appreciate the positive comments and everyone who has signed my guestbook.
 I know it isn't much in the way of eye candy, but as long as there is an interest I will keep updating it.
Currently all the information is being taken from my journal, once I get caught up to where I am now in my travels, I will start to add screenshots.

Just do like FSTipster did and throw some really hairy approaches into the FP and it'll get exciting.  ;D ;D

I added some more chapters this evening, starting with PHX-MIA, if you're looking for some excitement, don't miss the section on Atlanta.  :o

Great stuff!  Two suggestions if I might add...  first, download an Ultralight for sightseeing cities.  It flies real easy and it moves slow enough to see details carefully.  The second one might be more of a stretch because I think you mentioned you are new at web developing but is still fairly easy to look up on any web page tutorials.... would be anchor links.  That we you can have a list of the 'chapters' across the top, click on them and it would instantly scroll down the screen to the beginning of the next new and exciting chapter.  Because once you go world-wide, it'll be a beast to scroll through to the newest section.  Otherwise, great stuff and keep flyin'!  (Crash too every once and awhile, that's the funny stuff!)

 I added more updates today.
Thanks for the suggestions, I would like to break it down like you are recommending. I will have to see if I can figure it out.
I already have plans to devote a seperate page for my world travels. because you are right, once I finish adding all my U.S. notes, you will be scrolling forever to find where you left off.
 I'm glad everyone is enjoying my story, I'm considering myself on vacation in Hong Kong until I get all my adventures published to my website.
When I start flying again I will be sure to add sreenshots of the more exciting moments.

 I have downloaded the FSscreen program and played around with it a little, so there will be screenshots from Hong Kong onward.
The USA page is complete.
I will now start a new page titled FS2002 pt.2 which will begin with my trip to Hawaii. I should have some content on this page tomorrow.
There is still some catching up to do as I have already visited the south pacific.
My journeys will be broken down into seperate pages for different regions I visit so they should not be quite as immense as the USA page.
Thanks
Paz
