OleAndreasen 88 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Well guys, I cannot connect to neither Teamspeak nor Squakwin, so I guess no online flying for me tonight. Darn. VAE Support forum states that their servers are offline, and they are trying to fix it, so I guess NOONE is going to fly online tonight - Damn damn Read it HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The online server seems to be in order again. I therefore suggest a new new fly-in this MONDAY - September 13´th at 9.00 PM CET. AND this time, to promote the seabase, that is used waaay too little, everyone must come in sea planes - and use the water runway. if we can get Andras to make illuminated boyes this night. Ill ask him. AND of course if Sebastiaan will allow it - as an event. I know he wont allow dark landings on water runway in general, but as an event, I hope he can be pursuaded, and I hope that he will be there and conduct the event with me. Ill post when I know more.

sebastiaan10 5 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hi Guys, Seaplane flights at night are usually forbidden, but we make an exception here. I unfortunately can't come, but I hope this is going to be a big event. Happy Flying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtmikepsl 5 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 You can count me in. I would almost say all events unless specified could be the users choice if he or she wants to fly in the day or night. The only persons who would really notice is themselves. We would on the other hand have to make it an "all lights on" event so people flying at night would see you in the sky. Just an idea for people that dont like to fly at night in your neck of the woods. Im always up for flying with people as I am home the majority of the week with a back injury and am on EST in the USA. Let me know at mtmike1981@yahoo.com or on skype mtmikepsl. Im on skype pretty much all day so its easier to get a hold of me there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Guys The buoys for tonights Seaplane fly-in have been made ready by Andras I attach them here. Andras said the following. The files in the SCENERY dir obviously go into the Andras Field/scenery folder. There is a single new effect, which goes into the main FSX dir/EFFECTS folder. Please remember, that this files are only to be used for the night purpose, because the lights otherwise take up a lot of frames and resources. No regular use pls. See you there fellows.

Matt_Smith 1116 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I had a really enjoyable evening, thanks to all that were there. Only my 1st time multiplayer this evening with so many people in the circuit (big grin). I look forward to flying with you all again soon. Will post a few pics from this evenings flying tomorrow Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simjockey 2 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Good flying tonight with you all - 5 or 6 of us when I logged on. I must have put the effects file in the wrong place as I couldn't see the water runway - the taxiways worked a treat. After a very sweaty water landing in the dark (landing lights didn't help), I switched to runway 27 and 3 of us did some 'circuit -bashing'. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and made some good landings too (Hard not to in the Islander). Thanks to Andras for the lit buoys on the water and to the other pilots for making it so enjoyable . Sim.

mtmikepsl 5 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yes I agree with everyone thanks to all who participated. It was most enjoyable. I will be on the server every Thursday at 3 est. Come and fly with me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yep - one great succes. I was there, not long, as my wireless internet kept throwing me off, (I gotta get myself a new wireless router) but i was there. My presence was not needed at all, to secure an enjoyable fly-in for all. I counted 7 people besides myself, at one time. and procedure calls, radiochecks, and just friendly chatter flew from the mikes and speakers, as freely as the aircraft flew in the air. It was a joy to watch and listen to. People were using both the main runyway (27) and the water runway at the same time. This gave an impression of a busy place, which seemed very cool. and that was a first in the online history in AF, far as I am aware. Thank you all for participating and making this a fun experience. And thanks Andras for the illuminated buoys. They made all the difference. Now that Jane (Event Manager) is back from a long hospital stay, which is why I have been trying to keep a few online gatherings going, I will leave it to Jane to arrange the next event.

Yes the use of both runways at the same time did give an awesome atmosphere to Andras Field. Evewn with ops on 27 and 35 at the same time we didnt encounter any problems.

Tobus 161 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I had a good evening guys, first in my Catalina and later in my trusted Bushhawk amphib, hitting both runways and watching others do so as well. The lit buoys worked great and gave me no noticable hits on performance. Can they be incorporated in the next "normal" patch for Andras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping them would make it a lot easier to find the runway in the day time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andkozma 1 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The lit buoys worked great and gave me no noticable hits on performance. Can they be incorporated in the next "normal" patch for Andras? Well, the problem is that in this small update file they are always on. If you need the lit buoys to be permanent, I need to have have them duplicated, a set for day and another for night. That might cause performance issues - although high-end system can handle that. I will see what the penalty will be and try to make them permanent - if possible. Andras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate? Regards, Tobus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
