Personal Flight ..

[Russ]

I invited myself into a VATSIM Group flight this weekend. Wasn't gonna say anything about it, but since someone else did screen shots and caught me in the act ..

I was flying N170AA inbound from the South West, ya can see me on the first two Radar Screen shots . .

Maybe after SB3 comes out and the whole things gets alot easier to setup and use some of ya'll might join me.

It was a totally VFR flight, which presented a very interesting landing as I came into the pattern without having been spaced by ATC and TWR had to insert me some how ..

Per his request I came in really fast with a 737 on my tail .. that resulted in a float, and long roll out .. past all taxiways ..

I was rolling out on the end of the runway while he was yelling ..
"Take the grass if you have to just clear the runway!"

;D

Hi Russ.
I will be online at Vatsim when I figure out the details to get the system working on my pc. I have spent more than 11 hours time trying with lots of help from several Very Helpful/Patient/Cordial Vatsim members and the FAQ . The consensus seems to be that my pc is the system from hell that defies Vatsim SW....Not giving up but takin a break.
Is SB3 a streamlined Vatsim SW package for FS9?

Yeah no headset .. I just type ..

It was alot of fun with so much traffic around ..

Squawk Box for VATSIM right now was nice at one time but is currently a cobbled together version originally written for FS98, and not modified but added on to with translators, and wrappers to make it work with FS2002 and FS2004 ..


SB3 is a totally from scratch version that has been in the works for over a year now .. its almost ready ..

I would highly recommend waiting for SB3 to be finished .. it should make it all better again! ;D
