View Full Version : RTW Team SOH Pilots and Crew Registration

Ladies and gentlemen!
It's now time for the brave and foolhardy to step to the plate! :icon_lol:
To help us keep track of SOH members who can support the 2009 Round the World Race effort we'd like to keep a database of a) pilots and b) other crew. Not a lot of data required, but it will help us gather people together as the time approaches. If you aren't sure now about your time now, still feel free to sign up and we can work it out as we go along - or add your name and data to the list later if you wish.
To this end if you, please reply in this thread with the following information:
------------------------------------------------------------
Name (SOH screen-name)
Areas of interest (flying, route planning, weather & airport scouting, research, scoring, rules and protests)
Sim (FS2002, FS9 or FSX)
a/c classes flown (warbirds, jet fighters, tubes, general aviation, heavies, helicopters, default a/c, if-it-has-wings-I-fly-it)
Do you fly online?

Home time zone (GMT +/- or the local name [eg EST])
---------------------------------------------------------
Either make a text list of the responses or you can "quote" the
above section and insert your data within it.
Note: I'd like even the 'old regulars' to fill in the register so it's complete as possible.
Pilot responsibilities are straightforward and for those who may be new we will provide training and help setting up your computer with the required software. For the other positions, if there are any questions you can PM me or jkcook28 or DangerousDave26 and we'll fill you in.
The race itself is mid-February and there will be organized training "missions" between now and then. The training is a bit more relaxed and will allow people lots of opportunity to get 'in shape', whether flying or the other jobs. Time commitments are at your discretion - some can only offer a couple of hours now and then and that is fine - those may be the hours that become most important. One thing we DO hope for is a good representation from the east side of the Atlantic and Asia/Australia/NZ to help spread the workload across as many timezones as possible.
Thanks for your support!

FS2002 or FS8 is still a supported sim by the race. If you are still flying FS8 you are also welcome to join.

My feelings wouldn't be hurt if I was on support staff this year, be glad to help man the "war room"
I've been thinking about a "liaison" or "news reporter" position where I write up reports on our progress with pics (video?) and post them to the general board to generate excitement.

Thanks guys.. a good start to the crew ( and now I gotta get working on the input :isadizzy: )
Note that FS2002 has been added to the list per comments received.
Cheezy, you will get coaching... nice, gentle.. even the training rooms are padded :d
(but seriously, a couple of hours during EST daytime will be a great help - some of the gang actually 'work'! and having recon/spotters can be very important - as can a bit of levity or comic relief)

Since switching exclusively to FSX late last year my flying time has diminished greatly due to health problems. As a result my flying skills are well below par as flying in FSX is vastly different to previous flight sims.
Things healthwise have improved greatly in the last few months so I am hoping to get more flying time in.

Pilot responsibilities are straightforward and for those who may be new we will provide training and help setting up your computer with the required software. For the other positions, if there are any questions you can PM me or jkcook28 or DangerousDave26 and we'll fill you in.
The race itself is mid-February and there will be organized training "missions" between now and then. The training is a bit more relaxed and will allow people lots of opportunity to get 'in shape', whether flying or the other jobs. Time commitments are at your discretion - some can only offer a couple of hours now and then and that is fine - those may be the hours that become most important. One thing we DO hope for is a good representation from the east side of the Atlantic and Asia/Australia/NZ to help spread the workload across as many timezones as possible.
Thanks for your support!
This is to lengthen my message also.

David:
Been a long time. I've been trying to get up to speed on how to make GG fly in my new FSX machine, in FSX. How about filling me in. I'm surprised to see the commercial stuff out there on the P-38 and not too much for GG. As you know GG is a Texas lady now.

First off Welcome to the Team
I am not really positive but I do not think that dcc's P-38 ports over to FSX at all. I am willing to guess that if it does it is poor at best.
dcc can correct me if I am wrong.

in FSX my P-38's suffer from all the usual FS9 mdl problems:
1) panel window and gauge problems
2) blurred prop textures are rendered behind clouds (exterior view only)
3) scenery behind canopy glass is messed up / missing
4) 'un-textured' parts are all black
5) emissive parts don't shine (eg, non-fx lights)
6) no landing lights (somewhat fixed by FSX SP1)
some tweaking can help address #1. These may be minor issues to some, but to me they are enough to ruin the experience for me so I only fly them in Fs9.

Well with some tweaking and adaptation to SPs dcc's che'd'ouevre ports over to the dark side not as worse as he himself wrote. Having only FSX here fly P-38 anyway. It's more beautiful than Avanti=)))

I fly the P-38 on FSX, and am happy with it. In fact for the race the P-38 and Gnoop's P-47 are my main rides-both on FSX. I'd be happy to share my .cfg with anyone.

I'd like to get involved with this but not really sure how (or if my PC is up to running FS for long continous periods).
If you want any more people hanging around and cluttering the place up.

If you can fit me in great!, if not I can get some extra practice in.

Matt, although we might not be able to use the TSR.2 we can always used extra pilots (when available) and often a few more opinions too. See the list re: spotting, wx, etc. and if you need help getting online and on TeamSpeak read the forums and then ask for help. As a spotter/etc. there's not as much flying but observational skills help.

Awwww no TSR.2 :faint:
To be fair I was expecting that, the production line was destroyed before 10 could be finished....
I'm not that bothered by getting loads of flying in, I just don't have the time, I am however quite happy to do almost anything else (excluding circuit training).

No problem if you are even marginally good at the defaults that is an amazing help.
Team flights are also a great place to join in if you have the time. The more clutter the merrier.
If you fly the P-38 or P-47 you pretty much got every thing you need.
Join in any time. We should have one more practice session before the race.

I know that the race is still 3 1/2 weeks away but while I have signed up for the race I am not willing to commit myself to fly any legs. The reason being I am still having problems with my legs and recently spent a couple of weeks in hospital.
Since coming I have attempted several times to do a 2 hour flight but cramps in my legs put an end to the flight anywhere between a 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hours into the flight. At the moment when I feel anything happening I have to go and lay down for a couple of hours.
However I will still be available to do weather recce flights around the destination airports to help those flying a leg.
May even be able to help with the planning as well especially the Australian part of the race.
Cheers

If it has wings I fly it, though I generally prefer GA prop aircraft. As for helos, those things should not be allowed in the air especially with me in one.
Do you fly online?
With FSX... not yet, though I'm contemplating getting into Vatsim at some point. Lots of online flying experience in Warbirds (starting back in 97) and other sims/games so I'm familiar with the whole online end of things including Teamspeak etc

Welcome to the Team :applause:
There may not be much use for the Airbus Family but the new rules will may change that.
If you fly other airplanes you may find yourself more active in the flying department.
One of our Great Admins here will get you access to the hide out.

Yes, welcome and glad to see you found your way over from the AAC! (and that GMT+1 time zone is great!) There's a bunch to learn but it doesn't take long to get tuned up if you've been flying CFS ( other than making it all work in FS9.)
I'll PM you later tonight with some info about connections etc and when you see "The Hideout" showing as a sub-forum you'll have access to the rest of the plans. There's even some good hints about easy-to-learn FS9 warbirds to get you going.
