You're welcome. Thanks to all pilots and controllers for helping me and IAHM-COL to put the procedures to the test! There was some traffic today (three planes) - a nice amount. The day of the Festival will, of course, be more hectic :)

I must confess something though - at every edition, I hope this event will become as big as the popular Cross the Pond on VATSIM one day:



I have also tested the FGCom ATIS functionality around LOWW and I'm be happy to announce I'm going to offer voice ATIS in Vienna (frequency: 122.950).

See you on the 7th and 8th!

Is there a custom scenery for LOWW? In my terrasync it's just plain runways and nothing else...
Thank you!

Unfortunately not (due to personal reasons I didn't have much time to prepare it) - I hope I'll be able to add at least shared objects before the event.

For FG scale, I think it is. At least the FS Weekend. The spring festival was not so well attended, though.

Can you make it louder next time? It was very silent.
Fly on VATSIM and die.

I'm sorry if I'm a bit late but... Can you still change the controlled airports?

Apparently it has been requested for someone at Basel, and I really like serving there

Hi thefan630,
Never worry.
You can do Basel Mulhouse when it is not controlled. Looking at the Lenny site, it does not show a time...
Can you confirm who said they would?
Anyway, Basel is outside the Austria-Switzerland region anyway.

Plus, this was decided weeks ago. And you only say the tuesday of the week of the festival?

Not a problem - I'm changing the controlled airports right now. Also, please file the days and times you're going to control Basel on Lenny's website.

I'm a bit stupid and was hoping someone would point to the post in this thread, or possibly write what the details of this weekend get together are.

So far I read that we need a flight plan. True? False?
What airports where chosen? Seems much of what I read so far was all about last spring.

Thanks in advance

False. Filing a flight plan, as well as using voice communication and flying applicable procedures (SIDs/STARs), is not required and never will be. However, doing so will enhance realism and will greatly speed up the work for us controllers (e.g. in case a pilot has filed a flight plan, OpenRadar can fill it in automatically with just a click, saving us several seconds). The first post has links to the most recent charts, as well as some resources (e.g. the ATC tutorial) on the wiki.

The updated list is in the first post (I'll keep it updated with all essential information); also, most participating ATCs have also announced their availability times on Lenny's website. I apologize for discussing both the Spring and the Fall 2015 editions of the Festival in a single thread - that happened because, at the time it was originally created, we weren't quite sure whether to hold the event only once or twice per year. Now that we have agreed on organizing it every six months, I'll make sure to open separate threads in the future.

Some of us are busy and having changing schedules and can't commit until close to the date.

@elgaton
LSGG scenery was made by IAHM and firefly
LFSB serves Basel, in Swotzerland, so it participates.

Sorry, thefan360.
I myself though since it was LF, it did not count.


Finally, Wien Ctr is LOVV_CTR


No candidates for Swiss Radar?
Omega?
Anyone?
