Wednesday evening session discussion thread.

@butter: that's true, but only if you go crazy with Ultra High Density. The difference between Disabled and Medium density is just a few FPS with ALS off for me (like, 3 or 4). But, when turning off all OSM stuff, my FPS easily doubles !
Fun fact: With 2020.3.13 which didn't have the compositor yet, in a place with relatively light scenery (like SAWH) (and medium quality settings, OSM stuff disabled) I was once getting 27 FPS with ALS ON ! But the compositor shadows spoiled me …

If you are all fine with it, we'll continue with Berlin-Frankfurt in continuation of last week.

For the information post numbering it will be yankee-2 and after that we'll continue with alpha.

If anybody is willing to give me a ride, I could join your DC-3 as multiplayer copilot for some traditional navigation work. Can't promise good jokes for the inflight entertainment.

I can't make it this week for the flight back but I might be able to offer some basic ATC, I don't know yet. I hope you all remember to check your fuel tanks before departure and get to know where the fuel tank selector is located - that caught me out last week and I had to scramble round on the brink of a 'das ist nicht gut' moment I can tell you.

[Ysop]

Thanks for the reminder Volador And thansk für the limited ATC.
It might be an idea to bring radio communication into focus in any coming event.

Looking forward to meet you guys at EDDI for "yankee-2".

[MariuszXC]

I can't make it this week for the flight back..

Ah, so you decided to stay in West Berlin?
Stay away from Checkpoint Charlie and you'll be fine

[FoxtrotCC]

Only a few pictures from me, because I don´t have all the models...

Taking off from EDDI (D-MIKA in front):


On the way to (the old) NDB OV (Braunschweig):


Let´s go to Frankfurt:


Very nice flight!

[TheEagle]

I'll make the info post for the sightseeing tour around Mauna Kea tomorrow … please remind me if I forget it !

[butter330]

That looks like you even did some formation flying . Too bad I didn't make it in time...

[Ysop]

A pity, that you could not make it!

But probably we'll repeat it in a few months, as it is such a classic event.

[Lester-Boffo]

My offline flight into Berlin from the docks at Nordholt. ETMN. And return..

[Ysop]

Nice, Lester! We definitely need to include this aspect of the airlift.

[TheEagle]

Information Zulu is out - Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and the Kilauea on Hawaii !

[Ysop]

Great! Thanks for organizing.

Actually it is information alpha.

[TheEagle]

Okay - fixed !

[Ysop]

Thenks Eagle!

Enjoy the trip, I am out next week.

From this week:
A very enjoyable event! To be repeated.
