RTWR 2012 Celebration Event



Team SOH cordially invites you to take part in a celebration event to close out the Flight Simulator 'Round the World Race' for 2012. All pilots are welcome and it's a 'fly what ya brung' event but bear in mind the route is roughly 100 Nm in length and the destination runway rather short so choosing the Vin Fizz or a 747-800 may not be the best option!


The event will kick off at 18:00 UTC* on Saturday, February 25[SUP]th[/SUP] but please assemble prior to that time so that we can start the event promptly. Simulator weather and time settings are at the pilot's discretion.


We will be using the SOH FS Host server for the flight and the connection details are:


IP Address: 72.233.79.242
Port: 23456


If you flew with any of the race teams this year please add your team abbreviation to your log-in name so that you can be easily identified by your team mates and by others.


AVSIM – AVS
Flight Sim – FS
Sim-Outhouse – SOH


e.g. 'XXX_AVS' or 'YYY_FS' or 'ZZZ_SOH'


We will also be using the SOH TeamSpeak 3 server and the connection details for that are:


Connection Address: _www.sim-outhouse.net
Port: 9987

NOTE: Remove the leading '_' on the address above as that was needed to prevent the forum software from making it a 'hot link'.


In keeping with the 'Start Event' theme the 'Celebration Event' will make use of Van Nuys Airport and 'Runway One-Six Right' in particular.


Please assemble at Edwards Air Force Base (KEDW) in plenty of time to get set up. Edwards was chosen as there is plenty of room to get all the aircraft in and ready to start.


When the event starts proceed to Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) and perform a 'touch and go' on Runway 16R and then fly on to Catalina Airport (KAVX) where refreshments will be provided by the Race Committee!


Rumour has it that Hugh Hefner has been approached to provide Bunny Girls as waitresses but whether we will actually see them there is a different matter!


Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.

* 18:00 UTC = 13:00 EST = 10:00 PST
 
Maybe I'll pop in quickly but I need to pick someone up at 1815 UTC to go to a concert so it'll only be for a few minutes.
 
Good-day!
This looks like something I'd like to do. I need to try the SOH server, it's been way to long.

If I'm still awake after I get off of work tomorrow morning I'll drop in for a bit.

If I don't make it for the fly-in then pass along my congratulations to all three teams for the most exciting and most fun RTW race I've participated in to date.
(I've only missed one and that was #2, back in '04).


Good job everyone! Especially all of my SOH teammates...and Karen too. :)
 
A few screens from flight into Catalina, 2-24

Good-day,

It was a relaxing evening flying into Catalina, KAVX, from Van Nuys. (in preparation for this mornings celebration.) Until I encountered near zero visibility right off the Island. I how it clears up in time for the fly-in!

A few of us ended up back at Van Nuys.

Sorry for the F-18, in replacement for the Su-37, being flight tested.

You all have bunches of fun today, sorry, but due to work issue will be unable to attend.
 
Ok, back the truck up. Larry said Hugh Hefner's bunny girls would be there waiting for us. With drinks with little umbrellas in them. This is a bait-n-switch! :icon_lol:
 
A few Kodaks from today.

Sorry for the quality but my screen grabber was still set to capture at half size from the last time I used it! :banghead:
 
Thank you SOH staff for organizing this event! My 1st online flight was only less than a month ago so this was quite something else for me I must say. Unfortunately after some kind of Teamspeak direct sound error my microphone went dead, I could still hear everyone but no one could hear me I suppose. I hope I did not offend anyone who was coming in to land by turning up in his flightpath without warning...

cheers, Henk.
 
Thanks

Thanks to SOH, and all who have contributed to the server, and RTWR 2012!!

I have added a large gallery of today's celebration. See "albums" under "community".

Good-day!
