Virtual Airshow

[chomp_rock]

When is the next "Virtual Airshow"? I'd like to do aerobatics in the Stock Corsair and Bell 206

If you guys are having a Spitfire team then you definately need a Mustang team to! I would gladly volunteer but unfortunately for me I'm running dial-up AOL, it just eats up all my system resources so I can't run FS at the same time But if someone else did it I'd definately try to be an observer because just sitting on the taxiway watching other aircraft can't be to hard on the computer. Maybe I'll even go into Gmax and make myself a little lawn chair to use as my spectator aircraft  ;D Have fun you guys!!!

Justin if you use FSHost (available here) you should be able to fly online using a 56k dial up without any problems. I have been.

It's not so much the connection speed as it is the actual AOL program. It eats up to much system resources on my poor little PIII 500 Mhz machine that most other programs can't run at the same time. I think I'll still be able to observe without much problems though. I'll let you guys know if I make the lawn chair aircraft so we can all of the spectators can use it to sit back and watch the show  ;D

Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm sooo green when it comes to flying with Vatsim.  :P

I've got Squawk Box, SBHost and Roger Wilco installed, and started the shakedown of the software. I've never used all of these in combination, like this before. But, I had to stop due to a very large thunder and lightning storm that hit our area last night. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish this evening and get it all sorted out.
Ol' "Gladys the Galaxy" is all shined up and ready to go!

If some of you are on, this evening, look for callsign "Air Force 908 Heavy" around the western US. That'd be me!

I don't usually fly on line, anymore, so I'm really looking forward to this.  ;D

Let me know where you're sitting and I'll come and buzz you in the Spitfire

[csnyfan]

I would join but I'm afraid I would wipe out the entire fleet - audience and then be part of World Worst Air Disasters on the Discovery Channel - But I will watch !
Good Luck

[fisharno]

Thanks Ozzy. I'll do that!

Look at it this way...
Everybody has to have their "15 minutes of fame". That would be yours.

I think Jon Bon Jovi said it best:


"Shot dooooown...in a Blaze of Glory...."

[jlvandem]

Ok Ozzy I'll let you know. If I make it I'll be sure to put a little orange flag on it so you know exactly which one to buzz  ;D I'll post a pic when it's finished.
