so after discussing this with albert and sparko, we have decided to go with either the 6th or 8th November. the really bad thing is that MS have pulled out from gamespy, but the good thing is the FSX community doesn't care and there are servers that we can direct connect to using LAN settings.
so the aim is to get onto the l4d ts channel for 8pm on what ever night is most popular and using only stock ms planes have a good old mess around
please indicate you favoured night below.
I'm in, come on guys lets do this, if it's pants then it's pants! But we won't know until we try it ala you lib, TL, Albert etc :)
Wednesday 6th would be better for me, we normal do a Flex raid on a Friday night so the 8th would be more difficult.
Flight plan for......?
ok guys meet up tonight at 2000(GMT) in the L4D TS channel for some high flying frolics
Will do. Jet pack at the ready.
good night tonight guys cheers, some connection problems at the start for me dont know why, but after i joined had a blast, its feels good to get the plane onto the strip as best as you can cause others are watching...gives a sense of achievement. dont mention the (as i found out in the replay) 4.6 over g pull in the king air that i did....she flapped for a while till the wings gave way !!

Yeah enjoyed that guys, went well, at least we know it works and the frame rate is good I.e no one was jumping around the screen, will definitely do it again, can take the jets for a spin next time? Short hop somewhere?
I've been getting to know the ILS system in heavy jets and think I finally understand how to use it and the process of catching the glide slope. The only thing I still struggle with is how to identify the ILS frequency of the destination airport - I've looked at some videos but they seem to show a different version of FS so at the point they press button A then my system does nto do the same thing! Anyone want to point me in the right direction (a TS chat would probably be easier than a long forum post!).
Apologies to anyone living near Glasgow, it was my 737 that was making all the noise! :P
I'll be about later TL gimme a nudge and I will be happy to show you
