With our new partnership with VOZ Powered News, sim pilots from both sides of the "ditch' have expressed interest in creating a Trans Tasman flight together online with multiplayer.
We haven't set any dates or flight plans in stone yet, but I've been given the task by Gazza to organise this event.
First off, we need a private server to run this flight on. ZK-MAT previously set up one on an old computer of his, with a password lock for us during the last TTEC flight; but due to changing his ISP, he unfortunately can't provide that service for us again. Having said this, we are hoping someone can volunteer their own resources and provide a FSHost for the flight, using the default connection method to allow FS2002, FS2004 and FSX pilots to all fly together without requiring VATSIM or IVAO membership. If you think you could do this, please PM either myself of ZK-MAT who is happy to help you with the setting up process
Also, if you are willing to provide ATC services (on a private teamspeak server we are hoping to set up in conjunction with the above mentioned server) for large airports in NZ, oceanic airspace or a large airport on the east coast of Australia, please post your name in this thread.
I've been thinking a good route would be for all pilots, both the NZFF and VOZ members, to start off in airports on the Aussie coast, then fly together, not necessarily in formation, over to chosen airports on the North or South Islands, and have a good old chit chat on the way. Whatever aircraft you choose to fly is up to you, I'm guessing the majority of people will pick Boeing or Airbus airliners or private jets to make the trip.
Please post below if you have any simular ideas, are interested in joining in, or could suggest a suitable date when you would be available for the flight.
Cheers,
Andew
