LinuxTag's favourite FlightGear location is EDDI - the famous Berlin
Tempelhof airfield.
Please get detailed Berlin Scenery from:
ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Misc_rag/scenery/landsat_berlin/landsat_berlin-20070518.tar.gz
and participate in the MultiPlayer environment if you like. We're present
at least from 07:00 to 16:00 UTC,
Note that Linux Tag runs from May 30 - June 2, so I assume people should
head this direction at least through Saturday.
I was just thinking ... it could be fun and interesting to find someone to
be a FlightGear "event" coordinator. They could plan "fly ins" periodically
... maybe once a week or maybe less or more often depending on how things
go. Everyone would show up at a particular airport at a particular time ...
maybe starting there, or maybe arriving from various destinations at the
appropriate time. Another option would be to all start out at some airport
and fly together to some other airport ... maybe with some predetermined
group cruise speed appropriate to the selected airports and the flight
route. We could vary the airports and the aircraft types for each event to
make things more interesting and encourage people to try flying airplanes
and routes they might otherwise not have thought of. We could vary the
meeting times so that we don't always favor one particular time zone or
continent. If this worked out well, it might make sense to create BOF SIG's
that always meet at a particular day of the week and time ... or something
like that.
Just tossing out the idea ...
Beyond Linux Tag if someone wanted to volunteer to coordinate a test run of
this, we could definitely post something on the web page and try to get as
many people out and flying together as possible.
