Interested in an IVAO fly-inn with all luchtzak members?

killerwhale65 · Post by **killerwhale65** » 02 Jul 2005, 12:52

hi,

i was wondering how many of the luchtzak members fly (or at least try to 8) ) online at the IVAO network. If there is interest in it, i would like to organise a get-together once on the IVAO network with some luchtzak members, so we could fly together once.

thanks!

Would be great Matthias! The software is so easy to install and use! And we need some more traffic on IVAO, always nice!

I'm a member of IVAO, so I'll consider it.

It's a nice idea! I'm a member of IVAO too. But I'm going to St. Petersburg via LFPG on 8/6... So if you organise it before I'll be there.

quite some interest, very nice.
now what flight are you guys (and girl) interested in? Personally i always fly shorter flights, like (from EBBR) to EHAM, EGLL, EDDL ...
Are you interested in such a flight? Or do you rather fly further (Mediterranean for example)?

Shorter flights for me please. My ISP has a cut off at two hours policy

Which means that my flights for VAs always have to be flown offline, but shorter hobby flying online will be OK.

I´m only a member of Vatsim.

*thinks to himself: maybe the 2 networks should merge* Should for sure create BUSY ATC controlled skies at every time of the day on every continent.

AFA :

I already asked that on the IVAO forum, and there were plans in the past already, but I think this will not happen very soon, too bad indeed

are you interested in a EBBR-EHAM flight? This is a very short flight, but always fun. Its the flight that most newbies do several times to learn (because you can always ask something in Dutch to ATC). Now flyng to Schiphol is always fun, and always a bit of an adventure. They have good ATC, and theres always someone online. Because of Schiphols 6 runways (so 12 possibilities!), you never know in front which runway you will get. Some approaches are also quite spectacular, with a lot of 180° turns. Its a flight that never gets boring for me.

Interested? If not, please suggest your own flight.

Right now Vatsim has about 600 pilots online and IVAO about 640. Looks like Vatsim is strong in North America and Northern/Eastern Europe + UK and IVAO in southern europe (including Belgium and France) and /south eastern part of Europe.

South America seems equally Vatsim/IVAO territory while Australia seems more Vatsim and Africa more IVAO. The far east seems pretty "dead" in both Vatsim and IVAO.

Belgium is currently both in Vatsim and IVAO staffed.

I think ATC/pilot wise a merger would be great ... but maybe hard to implement managment wise due to maybe different managing cultures.

EBBR-EHAM sounds fine to me. I have a selection of aircraft in my collection which would be suitable for this run, and they are all in various airline liveries like Sabena, Sobelair, SNBA, Lufthansa, BA, Austrian, Flybe...Could be an interesting "meet" withall different liveries flying the same route

Brussels - Schiphol is good, but I will fly back to Brussels, would be too short otherwise ... I'll be there (whenever

)

is this ok for the others?

Comet · Post by **Comet** » 04 Jul 2005, 13:29

Return to BRU is fine by me (if that's what you were asking)

Mirror · Post by **Mirror** » 04 Jul 2005, 13:31

Fine for me but my FS is ''out of service'' so I will be a controller than @ EBBR

More members who fly online requested

actually i was asking for the BRU-AMS routing, but everyone if free of course to return to BRU afterwards!

When can we do this? I think might be best to do this on a Tuesday, since that is Belgium Online day (well, in theory its on thursdays but they are changing it to Tuesdays. AMS is also staffed normally on Tuesdays.
