Wee... big can of worms opens up before you Javier

Ordinarily, IVAP will take care of all the IVAO channel switching for you (it's good like that...) but for the purposes of testing, you're going to want something reasonably close to you... try:

Code: [Select]

Server: "cn1.ts.ivao.aero"
Nickname: "[i]<EuroHarmony Callsign>[/i] - [i]<Firstname>[/i]"
Login Name: "[i]<IVAO VID>[/i]"
Password: "[i]<IVAN Password>[/i]"

so (almost) for me:-

Code: [Select]

Server: "cn1.ts.ivao.aero"
Nickname: "EHM654 - Murray"
Login Name: "140864"
Password: "[i]<SECRET>[/i]"

Then, for any servers you are going to be using regularly (IVANNL for the EHM company channel, EHM_VA, for instance) set up a Connect\Servers entry - right click in the "Connect To Server" window and add a server, then much the same as above...

EDIT: And very, very important for the IVAO TS network, set the bandwidth settings in TS2 to 32kbits/s both up and download *before* you go connecting to any of the IVAO TS servers.

i got the first part but the second part, do i use the same server adress?

and what do i label it?

EDIT: I just saw a server named  -=]EHM[=-Teamspeak server.

is this the correct one? i saw that the country was Germany.

[EHM-0654 Murray]

For ordinary Connect servers (these remain between TS restarts...):

Code: [Select]

Label: "[i]<Anything you want>[/i]"
Server Address: "[i]<IVAN TS Server>[/i]"
Nickname: "[i]<EHM Callsign>[/i] - [i]<Firstname>[/i]"
Allow server to assign nickname: UNCHECKED
Anonymous: UNCHECKED
Registered: CHECKED
Login Name: "[i]<IVAO VID>[/i]"
User Password: "[i]<IVAN Password>[/i]"
Everything else blank/unchecked

So, I have a Connect server like this:

Code: [Select]

Label: IVANNL
Server Address: nl.ts.ivao.aero
Nickname: EHM654 - Murray
Login Name: 140864
User Password: [i]<SECRET>[/i]

Hope that helps Javier.

By teh way Rico, I think I got the FL wrong, and I was thinking of Approaches at the same time.

[EHM-1821 Javier]

I have got it connected but it said that i was connected to the IVAO Netherlands Teamspeak server.  Am i connected to the corrected server?

[EHM-0654 Murray]

Javier,



By the sound of it you copied my IVATNL example, so yes, you would have connected to IVATNL. If you've got IvAe installed, it's "Network" tab lists all active network and TS servers, so you've lots of opportunity to test your TS installation. (Edit: noticed in IvAe that the voice network is called IVAT, not IVAN)

Thanks;D  

Now to get online flying;D

[EHM-0654 Murray]

Javier,

Welcome to the flock. Once you get the whole flying online thing, you'll rarely want to fly offline.

As Matt intimated, the "hard" part of flying online is getting the procedures/phraseology correct; after that it's just pointing the airplane in the right direction (which you should already know how to do )

Read through the OFM a few times, then pick a quiet airfield that has control and fly a local flight (an VFR or IFR circuit, or a short field-to-field hop) - your best bet would be flying from a small field when a local CTR controller in online and doesn't have a lot of traffic; CTRs tend to have higher ATC ratings and as such can offer you far more advice.

Don't forget to add a remark to your flightplan that you are new to online flying ("RMK NEWBIE" always works) and that way all ATC should be a lot more forgiving.

[EHM-1821 Javier]

I've never flown circuits before...

If IFR, do they tell you to turn when you have to?

I am a total newbie at this;)

[EHM-1358 Tim]

They shouldn't need to.

Take off, call airborne.

Turn left or right, keep flying, the left or right again, call downwind.

Fly until the runway is 45deg over your shoulder, turn base, call base, radio will clear you to turn final, turn and call final, then they give you clearence to land or touch and go.

[EHM-1821 Javier]

ok, i'll try that when i have the time:)

[EHM-0654 Murray]

Only other difference you may possibly get is:-

• Take off, call airborn, climb rwy heading - Controller replies "Report final" (readback "Will report final <callsign>")
• Thru 750AGL turn left/right, continue climb to circuit alt (usually 1000ft AGL).
• Turn left/right again - if any other traffic in the pattern, call downwind.
• When runway 45deg off the shoulder, turn left/right again - if any other traffic in the pattern, call base.
• Turn onto final, report final and landing request (hold off, touch 'n' go, full stop), expect clearance as requested.

Circuits are a great GA practice tool.

EDIT: Finally, a page that explains circuits for idiot dolts like me... http://www.avsim.com/geoffschool/combined/circuit.htm

How about Euroharmony has its on Wikipedia set up on this site, were users can add information for others to use, like a knowledge base. I'd gladly add stuff over the summer.

[EHM-1883 Matt]

For training in ATC, we'll have to find close active airports.

For Unicom training, I recommend Birmingham to Coventry. They are very close airports.

I've had a few problems with my mic, so I might not be able to teach Voice, so Murray will have to do that.


I think another big thing is Charts. When I fly offline, I rarely use charts, but when I'm online, I'm always using the things!
The way I use charts are the Airports I fly to the most, I have all the charts printed off, and they are in a booklet that I just pull out whenever I need it. If I don't have the chart, I just have it as a saved page in the internet. That way I can pull it out and look at it. The Only problem with that is you have to have a mental picture of the chart in your head, because It's annoying to keep on looking back everytime you get a new instruction, so I have all the charts for Schipol, Heathrow and Brussels.

Tim,

It's really funny that you say that, I've been thinking the very same thing - a wiki for EHM (MT, I haven't actually said anything about this yet, I know...) might be helpful for a number of situations (not least of which, the VFA/Training department...)

[EHM-1821 Javier]

thanks for the link, Murray!

I think a EHM wikipedia would be great;D

I could get more help that way;)

[EHM-1883 Matt]

I would love to do that! I could help with the making of some topics.

[EHM-1358 Tim]

Tottaly OT, but whats the PP and how do you get the Dakar award on your badge generator?

[EHM-0654 Murray]

Tim,

PP is ProPilot

And to get the Dakar award you (a) needed to take part in and complete the Dakar PP event, and (b) use the online avatar generator rather than the offline badge generator -

US Airmail tour!

[EHM-1883 Matt]

If Iian is reading, I just need to say I was a bit confused after takeoff, and when you're tired is not the best time to fly.
