United Kingdom + Ireland: Fall 2016 [November 5th and 6th]

[Lydiot]

I agree with you Israel.

[Octal450]

But let me make this very clear: If an FGUK aircraft enters in my airspace and doesn't follow my instructions, or tells me to piss off or similar, I will neglect them and advise others to do the same. Period.

That is qualified as being troll, or coocoo.

Sounds like a despot to me...

Despot?

[KL-666]

well at that point they didn't care 'cause the show must go on.

That is a quite bit of a stretch. Warty warned about the conflicting event in august (just weeks after the initial thought of it by StuartC), and at that point there was no "show" whatsoever yet. The scenario file was only produced on 1 november. Without any loss of work, a more discrete event location could have been chosen in the UK at that point in time.

Anyway i hope with IAHM-COL they know how to behave. It is still good that the ATC's are mentally prepared in advance for some potential disruption from an unresponsive gang of helicopters.

Plus they fly helis, so typing is impossible (= don't expect answers if you send messages in MPchat, and likely they'll be ignored).

Kind regards, Vincent

FGUK will be on their own TeamSpeak server, so communication will be minimal at best. Think of them as additional traffic to plan around.

[OPFOR77]

FWIW it's possible to use both Teamspeak and Mumble.

OPRF uses Discord primarily, but we also double up on Mumble too.

[Octal450]

I"m up for Mumble and TS, Discord won't work on my PCs. (I use Linux, or Vista == no discord)

Then I think we must agree to disagree.
I think and hope that what you've said won't happen.

Anyway, I've just reached Columbus AFB, tomorrow I'll fly to Bermuda and the Festival will get closer .

Yep.
We are all in the same page

We hope that the FGUK will behave with the due respect and comradery that we expect from them.
Distinguish trolling from participating is usually not that hard; and the FGUK is bringing their own name to the table. We have real good opinion upon them, and we hope we have a good reason to maintain it so on Nov 7th and beyond.

Certainly, if they don't,..., then it won't be us who look ashamed.
