Hello all,
I will start this topic early as this is where Visitors to the IFC this weekend can post news & pictures from the worlds largest FS convention! (So Far! :) )
Just to get things started, here is a link to the Livery Presentation Video that will be played on the stand. This is in quite good quality so be warned, it is a 68mb download.
DOWNLOAD HERE (http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/philnutt/IFC%20Movie%20V2.7%20MedQ.wmv)
There will be other videos and presentations taking place on the stand during the weekend so I will endeavor to give you as much news as I can during the event.
I would like to thank Robert, Razza and Christian Bakke for their help preparing for the show, without their help this would have been an impossible task!
-
Fantastic !!
What can I say ? I've seen most of that video before but it still brought the hairs up on the back of my neck... It's a brilliant advert for EHM and deserves a round of applause.
Congratulations to all involved, can't wait to see everyone at the weekend!
-
Glad you liked it Dom. :)
I have pretty much completely re-shot and re edited most the footage since V1.9 to get better angles and more realistic views. This really has been a labour of love, it's not as arty as I planned it, but then again, it is a preview for the livery so that was the main point!
See you soon!

It truly is beautiful - great work by everyone! Not arty? I beg to differ!
See you in Bham ;) ...
-
:o:o:o I see new pilots coming!!!! a whole bunch of them!!!!!;D;D;D
-
Phil, we're all expecting a big surge in new pilots next week ;D;D Make sure to take photos for those of us not going!
By the way, when is the next IFC Europe?
-
There is not any info about it on the IFC Global network homepage at the moment.
But Ben there is a convention in Australia in 2008.
Check out their hompage: Link (http://www.ifcglobalnetwork.com)

Ahhh, so close and yet so far!! That's my last year of high school and my parents probably won't let me go so close to the end of year exams... but it would be relatively cheap, even if it's only for a weekend... something to consider indeed! Thanks Christian ;)
-
argh, I've got a bit of a crisis. My friend Tom cannot go, due to his family. My parents won't let me wonder around, so I don't want to be too embaressed. If one of them comes along, please do not laugh:|
-
as long as your there yourself Matt no one will mind whatsoever if your with one of your parents...... maybe you could persuade both of them to join?? a family euroharmony membership ha ha ;D;D;D
-
and Phil that corporate video is superb!! i especially love the scenery that accompanies the MD-17 - looks amazing - well done mate ;D;D
-
Here are a couple of quick shots of the stand....

I'll post more tomorrow, the place was still like a building site when I left! :) (Got in trouble for trying to get a shot of a Blue Screen of Death on the MS stand! We thought it was kind of funny!)
-
Wow. Just, wow. Jealous be I.
I really like the poster at the back with the liveries! Very creative ;) And, of course, the video looks awesome on that TV... would NOT mind having one of those! ;D;D It all looks great!
-
Looking good Phil, I wish you guys all the best and a lot of fun for the upcoming weekend!
If there are pilots who face problems with their operations during the weekend and who need immediate help then you can always contact me. I'll be available online quite often this weekend.
-
Very nice and very elegant looking Phill. I wish you all to have a lot of fun and make a lot of new contacts for EHM. Wish to be there.
Peter
-
Looks really good looking forward for tomorrow and sunday.
And the computer working fine again???
See you Phil
-
Looks nice in the picture and when i was infront of it :D - we have almost finished our stand, just two more computers to arrive and a few posters like:
"Do not feed the controllers" and then were sorted!
-
It's amazing guys....it really looks elegant and really really COOL, have fun during the weekend!!
-
wow, nice...but thats just the outside, what about the inside?;D;D;D
-
You and I, Javier, must go to IFC Australia in 2008 and represent EuroHarmony ;D;D
-
Im not so sure about that, Tickets to Australia are more expensive than to London or Manchester with SIA...

Ahh, I was just kidding. Would be fun though ;)
All of you at the IFC today, have a great time!!! ;D
-
Apart from Conrad, did any one else see me flying on IVAO?
And yes Phil, I'm checking the PIREPS you cheeky git. lol!
-
Just got back from the IFC!
Sorry Tim, I didn't see you, even though I went past that stall about 20 times!
I met up with Philip Nutt, Domonic Mahon, and Murray Crane. These are my pictures! Unfortunately, only 2 came out alright, but here they are!:

Here is me, playing on this cockpit made in France. Managed to land the plane, but was quite hard to keep an eye on the instrument panel, and the screen at the same time.

Nice pics Matt!
The reason you didn't see me because I wasn't there! ;D Sadly I'm too busy this weekend. :(
-
nice pics, i see some brochures on the table, any chance of making a print out version for us who cant go?;D;D;D
-
Well, here they goes:

-
I must say Robert, I was very impressed with how professional our store looked; who made the brochures?
-
Wow, that looks great!! the fleet section seems a bit crammed though lol :]
-
That's great I wished I could be there.
Btw the video is great too !!
-
Well Robert made the Brochures, the flyers and the Livery! I think he is the only guy who did any work! :) hahahaha Just a shame he didnt get to join us, maybe next year!
Well the first day of the exhibition is over, It was quite busy, I think many people were looking to buy presents for themselves as virtually everyone either had a "ButtKicker" or a set of Saitek Rudder pedals under their arms! We did get quite a few people pay an interest in the VA and I hope that a few will take the time to join up and see what we have to offer.
From EuroHarmony we had a quite good showing with Conrad Oldcorn and Ben Horsfall manning the IVAO stand. Murray Crane, Christian Bakke, Dominic Mahon, Trevor Bolton, Matt Haywood and myself were at the stand at different points throughout the day!
I didn't really get much chance to look around myself, which is probably a good thing as I would have spent way too much money! :)
For those of you coming on Sunday, I look forward to meeting you and I hope to shake hands with a few more of you! I am sure Murray, Christian and myslef will be spending a little more time looking round and perhaps picking up an early Christmas present on Sunday though! I promise, I will take a few more shots of some of the other stands and let you know a bit more about the exhibition over the next day or so!
Cheers,

Who's who ..?? ;D
-
Phil standing to the left, Murray sitting at the laptop and Dominic at the right, and I kept out of the picture
-
Haha, Murray I love your shirt!!
"No, I will not fix your computer" ;D;D;D
-
Some of my pictures from the IFC - The event was really good, some fantastic products on display,
Showing the guys at Flight1 how the ATR should be flown...
The Paramount of concentration...landing a Boeing 727 at LOWI with 25kts windshear, and only the No.1 engine in opperation.
"Budlight presents....Real Men of Genius"
-
Well done Razza, how did that landing at LOWI turn out? ;D
-
Nice! But Phil doesn't look too impressed in that first show! ;D
-
Well he was flying FSX :P
-
hmm. that guy next to you at the F1 stand looks like his planes in trouble!
-
The whole IFC looked absolutely spectacular in total... looks like all who went had a good weekend :)
-
Really enjoyed it and a great opportunity to meet a few faces from the VA! Plus I picked up some great cockpit DVD's and the Angle of Attack 767 training DVD so I've got lots to watch... ;D
Can't wait for the new fleet to come out as it gives me just the excuse I need to fly some of the planes I haven't been in for a while...:P
The EHM stand was very good, especially in comparison to some of the other VA's present so well done to all the MT who worked so hard to present a really professional image of our airline!
-
I'm sorry that I didn't have enough time to talk to you Phil, but I was talking to Dom alot, and we had a really great chat about ATR's etc.
I'm still wondering how Murray knew I was Matt!
-
In the MT we know everyone. It's useless to run or hide, we'll find you! Just kidding ... ;)
Good to see that it was a big success and I really hope to be there next year!
-
Well i would have liked to spend more time at the EHM stand and actually looking at other stands, but i was stuck controlling EGTM_S_CTR with around 20 aircraft constantly in my frequency :D
So thats 12 hours in total? :P
Next year it takes place in the Birmingham NEC again... - until then :)

So it will be an annual event in Europe? Will EuroHarmony have another stand?

Matt,
My mum's a witch and I inherited the knack... ;)
Truth is I'm pretty good with voices (except my own... I realised today I sound just like my dad on the phone) and that's how I guessed it was you.
And re my t-shirt, I only wish I'd taken another as well when one of the guys from the Microsoft stand walked up and said "do you think I could get one of those with a Micro$oft logo?" - my "It's not my fault you suck!" shirt ;D
And for those that would like an unbiased opinion, apart from a couple of things, I am *so* not upgrading to FSX any time soon (think a year or more).
Finally, any of you that are new to the VA as a result of the show, glad we didn't put you off... :) Welcome, ask questions, participate, but most of all, *have fun* (and that's an order!)

Umm, don't think I'm going to be breaking any confidence if I say almost certainly not. I'll let Phil vent his spleen on the subject, once his good lady wife permits him to rejoin the community. We *might* have a presence at a couple other shows (no promises, and I'm going to otherwise keep quiet about that) but there's pretty much no way we'll be at IFC Europe next year.

Ok Guys, I've escaped from the wife...... She has her TV back now (The 32 inch LCD on the stand was her TV! :) ) so I have managed to escape for a while......
I haven't spoken to any of the MT regarding the show yet, I have come here straight away to post about the IFC so you can all hear what I have to say.
As those of you who visited the IFC wil know, the costs involved with this years stand really didn't warrant the return we will get from it. If we do go next year, and its a big if, it will be on a smaller VA stand at a much smaller cost.
I don't know the official numbers that visited and I doubt I ever will, but it was certainly less than I expected so to say I was a little dissapointed is an understatement. Sunday (today) was a complete wash out with very few people paying any more than a passing interest in our VA.
The one thing it did allow us to do was meet a lot of people from the FS community and get our name out there. I doubt very much that we will see a massive surge of pilots, maybe half a dozen at the most.
It was great to meet those of you who visited, thanks for your support and the effort you all put in!
As for next year, well who knows???? I think I am going to visit the FS Weekend in Holland next November so if anyone fancies meeting up, lets make some plans a bit nearer the time!

What a great time you guys must have had, i wish i could go!!! :];D

Here is the IFC news realease on the IFC Birmingham Event:
The IFC Team are just back from the NEC in Birmingham UK and what a weekend! 2,601 avid flightsim fans visited the show making it the most succesful and biggest flightsim show in the world. We would like to thank everyone who attended and we can announce that IFC Europe 2007 will take place on the 1st & 2nd December. Keep checking the website for further details.
We will be prepering a full report with many pictures over the next few days and we will also be releasing the IFC 2006 DVD featuring full show highlights and exclusive interviews, early in the new year. Again more details coming soon
-
Dear pilots,
I would like to thank you all of you who passed on the EHM IFC stand and all of you that helped us there.
Unfortunately it wasn't possible for me to be there due to family health problems, but next year I am sure I will be there or on the Netherlands Event.
I would like to also thank all the work that our Management Team got, specially Robert and Philip who made a strong effort to have all the brochures ready and to coordinate the stand for the weekend.
Regards and see you all there again on next year!
