JAFVA group flight event [EIDW: 05/08: 14:30 Z]

Hi IAHM-COL,

Have you considered doing the group flights on VATSIM, now that it has native support?
Maybe more people would join, like the USA tour times

With regards,

@SHM

I don't understand the goal. Is it to allow people not flying FG to fly in the group?

Yes

It makes me wonder, how could it be made possible that other FSims could connect to FG Multiplayer server?

Vatsim wouldn't work for me particularly, as this is a heavily controlled heavily policed environment (people get banned and all).
I had never used Vatsim for that among other reasons.

And it would hardly be a welcome environment to the more uncontrolled behavior of our group flights. (we frequently flight too close to each other's plane for a controlled environment to be comfortable., and we sometimes perform stunts that wouldn't be ok to be done on vatsim).

I don't see a technical reason why FG multiplayer couldn't get connections from other FSims. But I am not expert on this data transfer protocols.

On the other hand, pilots could launch a FG window once a week or something to flight in a group madness, and use their time on more organized and eye-candy simulators for the rest of their flight operations.

From what I've seen from your flying before, you'll be just fine.

And it would hardly be a welcome environment to the more uncontrolled behavior of our group flights. (we frequently flight too close to each other's plane for a controlled environment to be comfortable., and we sometimes perform stunts that wouldn't be ok to be done on vatsim).

Yeah, I do agree with you. That could be an issue, yes.

I have completely removed fg and I have been spoiled by p3d to return.

I don't see a technical reason why FG multiplayer couldn't get connections from other FSims. But I am not expert on this data transfer protocols.

That's an idea but again someone has to do the work and I don't think anyone would be interested in it. Something more interesting would be to develop a plugin for flightgear to connect to joinFS or fscloud(Both of these are like fg-mp without the vatsim restrictions but allows connectivity between xplane and p3d)
