View Full Version : Flight sim day!
Well, I've been having this idea quite a few times now, and now the hxf fs people are growing, then I shall say it.
How about a flight simulator day not necesserily on vatsim but on our own multiplayer session, we could fly like egll-kbos or something long 4-7 hours, and fly close to each other like 5nm apart?
Say if you want to join or tell me on msm if you have mine, and state other ideas as well.
Thinking of doing it sometime late august/early september.

I think i would be best for a Sunday.
Also if anyone knows how to edit repaints, then if everyone told that person what livary they wrre using they could add a little picture or signature or something saying habbox on FS or something like that!
Would be good for screenies to post up!

Just downloading the game now, Wondering how long it takes you to learn how to fly an plane?
MattGarner

Idea: Maybe we should all set off at 9am on a Sunday. May be a bit early for some but will give us time to get up and going, don't want to set off too late.

Yeah I'd love to join. It'd be a good experience anyway, and just as long as the experts don't start getting angry with the learners etc. I've been flying on this for aroudn 3 years and I'm learning things every day. I've gone back to FS2004 btw, much better and currently EGGW - LEMG Thompson Fly. B 737 800 Flight level 30.
I would hope to learn a lot more if we were to do a group flight too :D
Look forward to it guys.

Thanks for letting us know. We may not do it this Sunday due to Cody may still be holiday although we could do it without him and do another one when he's back? Oh has anyone got a team speak server we could use for the flight to the USA? It be helpful and fun to also have.
right, I decided on a date how about.. 27th August and set off around 9-9:30 I'd happily arrange slots for each departing traffic or somthing.
edit: I culd like provide a profile on the event like your slots, charts, scenery etc.

Yeah I get the idea. Fellow people, I be the 2nd person in command as you want to call it. We could do this have TWO Flight Sim Days, one earlier say this Sunday or whenever and one later when Cody can join in. We do not need charts as such as we will be off the VATSIM network for this. But like I said above anyone got a teamspeak server to spare or anyone can get us one will be a great help, Thanks!
nono u shud just do it when I can do it :]

Hello, me and Cody have had a talk on Msn. Because he's going away we won't be able to do our UK-USA flight this Sunday. I was thinking any time from now till Sunday (Not Saturday) that anyone wants to do a group flight from the UK- to any European Airport. Example: EGCC-LEMG, EGCC-LOWW etc. It will a great thing to do. If anyone is interested and prefers a date and also add me to msn (address in above posts)
Thanks,
MattGarner.

The Proper Flight sim day event
As you know there is the flight sim day this Sunday at 9am, as some people are away for that, i'd like to state that the official flight simulator day, as more people are here, not just me 2 other people. The flight sim day this Sunday is like still a flight sim day, but the official one more people, if you get me. So i'd like to say the official flight simulator day will be on Tuesday 27th August starting at 0900 for an arrival in at around 1550 i'll host the multiplayer session and I hope its a great turnout event, PM me for more details and PM me if you'd like to fly. The flight will be from London Heathrow to Ghana's capital Accra.
Hope to see you there ;)
