  • Cross-Community Flight (Saturday December 14th @ 3pm ET)



    We're proud to announce the third Cross-Community Flight will take place on Saturday, December 14 from 2000Z (3-6pm EST)!

    Purpose: The Cross Community Flight has been designed as an event for communication, collaboration, and networking for the multiplayer communities based around FSX. This will be a great time to share ideas, express opinions, and chat with some of the finest virtual pilots and air traffic controllers on the planet. For about one half of the event, we have set up a flight that everyone is welcome to participate in (details below), along with plenty of time to discuss virtual and real-world aviation with 100+ enthusiasts just like you on TeamSpeak!
    Date: Saturday, December 14

    Time: 3pm EST (2000Z)

    Location: Boston Virtual ATC Server and Cross Community Flight TeamSpeak3 Server (hosted by Boston Virtual ATC)
    Connection Info :
    FSX Server : 66.109.25.244
    There will be No Password
    TeamSpeak Server Address : teamspeak.bostonvirtualatc.com:9991
    Password : BARON58!
    ** Note : Both locations will available after 2pm EST (1900z)

    Event Style: The event will be held in a classic “VFR Hops” style, with a designated flight plan that everyone will follow (see below).

    Flight Plan: KAVK (Alva Rgnl) - KPNC (Ponca City Rgnl) - KTUL (Tulsa Intl)
    Total Flight Distance = 142nm Time = 1h17m @ 110knts groundspeed.



    Aircraft Requirements: All participants MUST fly the FSX Default Beech Baron 58 or the Carenado Beech Baron 58. **There are NO exceptions.

    Air Traffic Control: The final leg of the event (KPNC to KUTL) will be staffed by controllers from Boston Virtual ATC. During the event, we’ll provide all the information you need to know about Air Traffic Control to ensure you are comfortable with flying the last leg of the event, even if you have never flown with ATC before. We are planning on a fun and enjoyable event for everyone of all communities. If you have any questions feel free to contact your community administrator or me via email (maxe@bostonvirtualatc.com). There will be a Pilot Information package released later this week!

    Thanks and we hope to see you for the Cross Community Flight on December 14th!

    110 kts is a VERY slow cruise ground speed for a Baron, unless the organizers will be pre-programming in a stiff easterly wind. And it will mean flying flapped (probably with full flaps) to get the nose low enough for adequate visibility. Please confirm that 110 kts is really their intention.

    I'm also quite surprised by the choice of Alva as departure airport, since it only has three small parking spots and a fuel box - though it does at least have a handy extra runway. Nearby airports (not on the flight path and with over 2000ft runways) from which you can take off and then fly in to Alva for the start of the group flight are 1K5, OK40, K77, 6KS6 and 90OK.

              Thank you, Dakoda. I put it in my hangar and it works and it looks good. I'm flying it today. I don't know how many others will see me correctly in my Caranado B58 but I will.

              Thanks, Storm. I went looking for airport maps in the middle of the night before the flight and found what you had already documented. Well, get there early and then get off the parking pad quickly, I guess.

              At this early hour, 9 hours before flight time, the BVA FSX host server is still password protected but on line. The TeamSpeak password works and the welcome message in that TeamSpeak beckons entering pilots to APPEND community identifier after their gamertag. (ROBERT DUNN 2 - MSF)

                    How long have you been waiting to say that, Coast? :applause:
                    Take the time, a second to soar; for soon after, beckons a second more.

                      Well, things must be going swimmingly, for I tried a few times to connect over the past 40 minutes and get "There are no positions available in this session". It looks like we filled up the server alright!
