My thanks to all of you who are going to ATC for all of us who are going to be happily flying to your airports! This is shaping up to be a great Festival.

And a round of applause to IH-COL for all the hours of work he has put in to make it possible!!!!

Just as a notice: Vietnam during the Festival will be a dangerous place, incoming missiles, falling bombs, explosions, aircraft pieces,... As OPRF will conduct its operations over there.
So BEWARE! You might get in the middle of a live fire dogfight...

I'll have an ATC-Pie instance at both VTBS and VTSP to cover most of my area. There is still a blank spot inbetween, the MP map will be used for that.

I'll have the ATC411 at VTBS and the VTBBctr at VTSP, then an addition ATC-Pie at VTBS specifically for approach/tower view at VTBS. This will be the VTBSapp

I will speak to my bordering centers to make sure they handoff to the correct client.

I am setting up 5 monitors, and 3 computers 3 ATC-Pie's and a MPmap... lol

Kind Regards,
Josh

Made it to Mandalay in 2 evenings from Amsterdam:

Wednesday:
EHAM - Schiphol
Wanted to stop at EDDF, but no Jomo, so continued
URSS - Sochi
OIIE - IMAM KHOMEINI INTL

Thursday:
OIIE - IMAM KHOMEINI INTL
OPRN - CHAKLALA
VIDP - INDIRA GANDHI INTL
VQPR - PARO
VYMD - MANDALAY INTL

I notice that i miss some manned airports of the festival in terrasync. e.g. There is no Phuket at all. Maybe someone can put up the links to zipped files for terrasync guys?

And now for a little rant:
Laos is always the forgotten country. During the Vietnam war many things happened there, but no one knows. Just search on the internet: "vietnam war laos". And nowadays many people go on holidays to Thailand, Vietnam and even Cambodia. But Laos is forgotten again. And now this event ignores Laos again. Just to get your facts right: Most of all the nice Thai food is actually of Laotian origin. So take that!

Well that rant is soothing

Kind regards, Vincent

As SHM said. For a "terrasyncer" willing a somewhat better scenery for the festival, those 3 packages linked by SHM are recommended.
The zips are

VTSP: https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-SCENERY/VTSP-fg-CustomScenery/archive/master.zip
WSSS: https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-SCENERY/WSSS-fg-CustomScenery/archive/master.zip
VYMD: https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-SCENERY/VYMD-fg-CustomScenery/archive/master.zip

Efforts had been made to have all this work by default in terraGIT already, so for those that have terraGIT, the recommendation to prepare for the festival is:


in terraGIT

Code: Select all

git pull
install/Festival.Spring2017


This either 1) install all scenery of the festival area or 2) updates it if you already installed it.

and about the rant. I noticed both Laos and Cambodia are totally unrepresented ...

@omega,

I would like to talk to you regarding the hand-offs for smooth operation tomorrow.
