Flight planning...

[RLN]

Do you have a sack

[Wedgy]

Penciling in a date of Monday 9th Feb Evening (7 or 8pmish) for a bit of multiplayer simming. Anyone wish to join?

[Mayfly]

if I'm not otherwise engaged

[Prometheus]

I shall be there if I can get FSX working, bloody thing just won't load for some strange reason

[IanM]

Could well be joining in methinks. Do we need to do things to see other people's aicraft?

[Saracenman]

not as long as you join the "www.IconicAircraft.co.uk" session in multi-player (GameSpy)

[Tom.com]

Yeah I'm up for it

[Tom.com]

could we fly out to the aircraft carrier?

[Saracenman]

open to all suggestions

what would probably be best to agree on from the start, is to all fly something that FSX has in it's default hangar. I'd love to fly my beloved VC10 C1K, but to some it will look like a Cessna

the Piper Cub might be slow, but it's cracking fun and very easy to formate with

[Prometheus]

FSX re-installed and working (sometimes) so will do my best to be there

[Tom.com]

So are we going ahead tomorrow then?

[Wedgy]

Indeed

Shall we pencil in 7pm for starters. Will guarantee a session open called "www.iconicaircraft.co.uk" from then.

[Mayfly]

If I can't join you all have a good time - Watch out for Wedgy he tends to fly through you instead of round you

& SM is a runway hog ...

[Louise]

I see the PART TIME PILOTS SQN is due another outing!

[Tom.com]

Is it an open or closed room (password thing if i said that wrong)

[Wedgy]

no password

[Tom.com]

ok did you decide that it had to be a certain aircraft or just a set one that you start with?

there is a room but it needs a password!

[Wedgy]

Room is open. There was no password for me, but if it prompts for one use "arse".

Use the Piper Cub

We will wait at the airfield until 1915 then takeoff from runway 18, climing to 5000ft on a heading of 183 degrees - where upon we will formate ..... SM to lead .....
Once done with some screenshots, we will head back for some carrier landings

[Tom.com]

it says my version does not match the host

[Saracenman]

you have FSX Tom.com? or is it FS9?

it might be that you have FSX but no 'Acceleration' package

sm

edit - have you got FS Host Clent?

[Tom.com]

fsx

what are the other things?

[Saracenman]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

me finks this will not work

FSHostClient is a tiny bit of software that connects you to a server turning a 'free-flight' (single player game) into a multi-player - would've worked if you had it

erm..................

[Mayfly]

seems crazy to me that you cant use FSX with a FSX + acceleration

[Prometheus]

Im still having problems with my FSX
I need to reinstall SP2 but it isn't having it so im running a repair on FSX and will then try to re-install SP2.

[Saracenman]

Prometheus - trying to sort out FSHost for Tom.com, but the IP address I've always used seems to be defunct now - (64.46.45.195)

do you know of another that i can try?
