Haha, yeah that was me. :lol: :lol:

It was around midnight at the time, and I was already 30mins late departing, so thought I would 'speed up' things a little for the first half of the journey. I wondered if you noticed.

No problem. I'll look for your flight(s) under that name.

I know I've been guilty of that, too. Something else I can re-emphasize in our in-house ATC documentation. Thanks.

No prob. I would have mentioned it sooner, but I didn't think it was necessary, as most controllers didn't appear to be having much difficulty, and I managed to slow down to approach speed with time to spare while on the glideslope every time.

I'm compiling all of the screenshots today. I have my own, one from Redneck, a couple from Zexe, a bunch from Jester and Hovkid... am I missing any?

AARGH! Hovkid, you have the version of the Baltimore scenery with that stupid skyscraper right by the end of 15R. Grrrr. I'm so annoyed that got included in the base distribution for scenery 1.0.1 -- glad there's an updated scenery release coming before the next event!

Coincidentally, after picking my favorites from both Hovkid and Jester, I have exactly 17 from each of them :) Now I just have to get them all sorted out chronologically. Hovkid's system clock is visible in all of his, making sequencing them in with the rest of 'em a little easier, lol...

Nice, I've been waiting to see these :P Also, did anyone make a video? I was planning too but for some reason it made my system lag, which it had never done before.

Yep :D I thought that sky scraper looked a bit out of place :P It's kinda weird that it is there though, since i'm running TerraSync... How did it get in the scenery anyway?

Yeah, I didn't get time to crop them. Also the screen capture program I use should have labeled them in numerical(ish*) order.

*ish because I had to sort them out, deleting some.

The shots are now posted at http://transgear.treborlogic.com, and no, no one did video this time that I am aware of.

It's supposed to be sunk into the ground mostly with about three or four stories showing (which, if you ever fly the UFO under the terrain in any big city, is how most of the variable building heights are accomplished). There was a mix-up when I submitted my models (custom and shared placements) at KBWI which caused either Martin or an automated script to re-orient everything to the ground, and the offset which was supposed to be listed for that particular building got zeroed out somehow. It's subsequently been fixed, but it was like that for the 1.0.1 release, so if you get your scenery from the website, you'll have that error.

Given that you run TerraSync, maybe you should delete out that area and have it re-fetch? I'm not sure if that's the best advice, but as far as I know, the *current* database has had that issue solved for some time.

Indeed, and then I picked my favorites out of your favorites. I don't mind that your system clock and windows show. LIke I said, it helped a lot in figuring out how they fit in sequentially with the collection as a whole.

Anyway, to all of you who contributed screenshots, I thank you -- and for anyone interested, I repeat from above: they are all posted now at the TransGear website, on the Event #5 page. Thanks again to all participants.
Cheers,

Thanks, It's interesting to see other peoples screen shots, in time order.

And you have not selected the one where I deliberately put in the clock to show I was on time! :P
Nice captions yet again, thanks!

In usual airtravel fashion, I was a few minutes late, touching down at 15:21, not bad IMO :D

Regarding the aproved list on the TGA website, the link for the 1.9.1 DC6 downloads a non-working DC6 (The engines don't start properly)

A working DC6 can be downloaded here: http://www3.telus.net/public/sydadams/

Haha, I totally missed the intent there. I was wondering what compelled you to take a picture while you had a menu open. I actually figured you bumped a key incorrectly :)

Hmm... on that page, he says that some models specifically require current CVS. He also continually updates, so if I link to a model on that page that works for 1.9.1 today, it may not tomorrow.

Dilemma. I'll think about it and see what I want to do. Probably take out all of the different version links for that model and just refer everyone to that page for current info. Anyway, thanks for the pointer.
Cheers,
-Rob.

Is this model GNU/GPL?

Syd's Website wrote:The aircraft downloaded from this page are free ,for non-commercial use.
GPL versions can be retrieved from cvs ...


If so, the current version, which works on 1.9.1, could be hosted somewhere else, and not updated if the newest version doesn't work with 1.9.1

My understanding is that Syd no longer develops for the GPL and prefers to release his work under Freeware/Creative Commons/some other similar licensing. (I can't say I fully blame him; after some of the nonsense that has gone on here with ripoff artists attempting to manipulate or otherwise "bend" the GPL to capitalize on the work of others, I've strongly considered doing the same.) So the CVS-released versions might go out of date soon. On the other hand, there's now a thread in which a separate group is working on a fork version of the 777-200ER. ::sigh::
Cheers,
-Rob.

That's a shame though, because it means others cannot improve them (without permission). I think the GPL benefits us greatly, but unfortunately it also benefits the people who want to use it against us. Overall, we all win under GNU (depending on whose perspective you want to agree with).

Cheers, Liam.
