FSWeekend will be held again this Saturday and Sunday, November 3 and 4, at the Aviodrome aviation museum at Lelystad airport (EHLE) in the Netherlands. FSWeekend is the largest annual convention in Europe solely dedicated to flight simulation. Following up on last year's successful presence, FlightGear will be returning to the event, showcasing the latest developments.
This year we'll bring a large variety of hardware, including a quad-display dual CPU linux based system showcasing the latest possibilities in OpenSceneGraph based display technology. We'll also bring a video projector to present larger-than-life renditions of the FlightGear world. Adding to this mix, we'll be bringing several desktop and laptop computers running the broadest range of supported operating systems. Another first this year is that we'll be running three scheduled demos: 1) A general introduction to the program (Morning session, consisting of a short VfR flight between EHLE and EHAM). 2) Carrier Operations (Early afternoon: seahawk catapult takeoff from the Nimitz, followed by a brief tour of the greater San Francisco area, and concluded with a carrier landing). 3). Multiplayer aerotowing demo (Late afternoon: Running a locally operated multiplayer server, we'll use two computers to launch a glider. Scene is set in the beautiful Swiss Alps). Finally, we'll be showing an early demo of the NL Scenery project, consisting of some beautiful buildings in the greater Amsterdam area. Martin Spott, Torsten Dreyer, and myself will be presenting. If you happen to be around, please stop by for a chat. Cheers, Durk ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
