EHM-2155 Mariano:
Will remember that if we get any kind of ATC at all... so far all our flights have been "in the dark" ;D
EHM-0654 Murray:
The other nice thing about formation, esp. when you're flying props (no wake to speak of) is you can do formation and/or vis. separation take offs. As each departing plane lifts from the runway, the next plane starts it's roll. ;D
EHM-1997 Alexander:
I'm an IVAO virgin and the thought of controllers + SIDs and STARs on top of flying GA scare me.
Tempted though if its likely there'll be no controllers.
EHM-0654 Murray:
Come on Alex. If there are any controllers, I'll hang back and coach you through it :)
Flying online (even with controllers) is easy and fun at all but the most busy departure airports (where the majority of the workload for the pilot is). Until you feel comfortable with the whole online flying experience, just put "RMK/NEW PILOT" (or "RMK/IVAO NEWBIE" ;)) in your remarks and everyone will be extra patient with you. Plus, VFR GA, you don't need to talk to the controllers all that much; just a call to tower to say you want to depart, and a call to tower at the other end to say you want to join the circuit (and eventually, land).
EHM-1997 Alexander:
What's the status on a flight tonight?
I've grabbed Ivap for x-plane and ts2, although I assume that the ivao software will control ts from my nav frequency.
