"MultiPlayer Day's"
Posted by James on 02-20-02 at 21:44z
Hi Guy's,

I'm posting this feeler as to who would be interested in participating in MultiPlayer sessions on Sunday's at either 20:00 or 21:00 GMT.

This would be on the lines of some one Hosting the session from their home airport or one of their favourites. It would entail a sight seeing and history type lesson of the chosen area.

This would be open to ALL irellevant of where you live.

A point to note is that this will not effect the monthly flight rallies in any way.

Regards,

James.

Conman -

Sounds like a GREAT idea! Can't say that I'd be available for any of them (depends on schedule) but the idea is a good one. I'd certainly try to make as many as I could arrange and particularly like the idea of flying around an area with someone who is familiar with it. Any idea of how long these sessions would last (in your concept, of the project, that is)?

Hi Jerry,

Thanks mate :-)

Around about an hour possibly 2, this would be at the discretion of the person hosting.

Outstanding! But, I just thought of another complication - we all have to be using the same "model" of FS, right? I'm still flying FS98:( Will we need to set up different sessions for different versions of FS?

Good point :-) and your probably correct :-) Not sure on how the flight rooms are set up but I would imagine we would all have to be using the same version of FS.

Hi James,

Excellent idea! I've been thinking about showing off my home area sometime during some multiplayer flights. If I can ever remember to get online when everyone else does.

Great Idea,

I would be happy to host a tour of Boston, the South Shore, Cape Cod & the Islands. Plenty of history and
interesting things around here.

That sounds great to me! That area is old stomping grounds. Sure is more interesting (history-wise) than the San Francisco Bay area where I'm now based. The weather is *MUCH* better here though <g>.

please add me to the list. I would definitely prefer 20Z or earlier. I am at UTC+1 here, or UTC+2 in summer.

You said it would be a bit of sight-seeing. Does that mean we would use props or turbo-props? Would special scenery be required? Which version of FS will be used?

Regards,

Guido

Consider yourself added :-)

Sight seeing and probably a bit of a history lesson to :-) Aircraft would generally be prop/turboprop.
If there is special/specific Scenery then no doubt we will use it. There will be rooms for FS98 2000
and 2002 depending on individual preferences.

James

Hi Guido,

Will check a few more things out this week end but I would expect it to start up the week after the Flight Rally (17th March)
I'll need to get a list of which FS versions folk are using.

James

Sounds great! I'm still fumbling around in here finding where things are, and my schedule is also somewhat unpredictable, but definitely yes in principle!
