New Multiplayer Flight

Many thanks to the pilots who joined us on the Caribbean Tour Multiplayer Flight yesterday. There were 5 of us. We'll have another flight soon - likely next Tuesday same time as that seemed to work well. We flew for about 1.5 hours, taking our time. There were no technical problems for pilots, which is very unusual for a multiplayer flight, so all pilots were able to takeoff on time and fly to our last stop.

Multiplayer Participation Icons were added to the Awards Page for those who participated.

I look forward to seeing everyone interested join in the fun for the next flight.

Hah Oswald,

Thanks so much for joining us and representing the FG simulator group! I did feel bad that there weren't other pilots to share your experience and join us on the flight, but it was great to hear you on TeamSpeak and to get to know you and other SPA pilots by voice where I had only previously known you by email and forum post.

A note about the picture I posted - I'm not sure what the various planes other pilots were flying because JoinFS tries to match the plane model with similar in your aircraft selection, and when it can't it uses the setting for default aircraft. I have mine set to a Piper Cub for default. I believe it was Jim A. (Skywagon) who appeared in my picture as a Piper Cub. I appeared as the little Beech Bonanza, which is what I flew...although with reality mode turned off, I red-lined my engine to the point of failure most of the flight, but it gave me the extra speed to keep up while messing around trying to do video and other things.

I only got a few takeoffs and landings, and I don't think suitable for a video presentation, but will be nice to add for our next year's promo video as a segment. I'll try to do better on the next multiplayer flight - the continuation of our Caribbean Tour. Perhaps someone (Larry) can remind me of our last airport hop so that I can post it as our starting point for the next flight.

I'll post the next flight for Tuesday at 1300 CDT again just as this week - so plan on that those who can make it. It will take me a day or two to get the postings all over the place again - when I get the starting airport for that flight.

Thanks again everyone, and hope to see you all again next Tuesday.

Until then...

Happy flying,
