Long overdue, I am proud to announce the July 2009 FSW Multiplayer event. This month it is a nice long flight on Flightsimworld's own Multiplayer Server. We are looking for as many people to be there as possible, even those who usually fly VATSIM. The flight will depart from Tel Aviv's "Ben Gurion" Airport (LLBG), and it will arrive at Hong Kong's "Chep Lap Kok," airport (VHHH). We want everyone to come so below are links to preparing your computer for Multiplayer, as well as where to find freeware scenery for both Ben Gurion, and Chep Lap Kok Airport, and finding some good jets to fly.

But before the links, we need the logistics of the event. The event would be kicked off early Saturday July Twenty-Fifth 2009 at 1600 Zulu time. The starting airport will be Ben Gurion International airport (LLGB) and the ending airport will be Chep Lap Kok international airport VHHH. The routing will be determined soon and posted in this topic. The approximate length of this flight will be 9.5 hours hours.

Links to Scenery and Jets.

Ben Gurion, Tel Aviv - This is an excellent airport scenery. It features Tel Aviv's major airport, and satellite terrain for the area around the airport. There are also moving jetways, and other eye candy too.

Jets for the Event

We do ask that you take a jet fitting for this route. Such examples would be Cathay Pacific, Dragonair, and El Al. Use your judgment.

Project Opensky - Project Opensky is home to some of the best freeware aircraft available for the Flight Simulation Community. Their 777  has a wonderful Virtual Cockpit, of which is only rivaled by the Captain Sim 757. http://www.projectop...loads-index.php

Payware -  There are many payware companies that have jets with the range, such as PMDG and  Captainsim and Level D Simulations.

I'll make plans for this one. 767-300ER of course.

[Alaska_MD-83]

I'll be going in an El AL 747-400, merged with the iFly 747 Panel.

[_haphadon_]

I will be joining you all, but 3 hours after deperature.

[Brandon-M]

You know what, im going to make the biggest effort to stay as long as i can. I'll get my LDS 767 going again, see if i remember how to use the thing. That plane is about the 1 exception to my dislike for heavies

[MattGarner]

Hopefully I will be able to join you guys! :]

[JordanFarmer]

I'll try to be there, I need to get back into FS.

[Alaska_MD-83]

I'm pleased with my FS modifying skills. I got the iFly Panel to work perfectly with the Posky 747-400.

[tropicalfish]

Hmm, not sure if I will be able to attend again...

[Soap]

I will be joining you guys, at least try to. I contact you guys if I can make it.
I'll be flying in the 737-800 my favorite heavy at least for now.

It doesn't have the range. Unless it is a BBJ2, with extra tanks. Plus it is not a heavy. I said use your judgment, that means do not take a plane that would not be on this route in real life. Cathay, JAL, China Airlines, El Al, airlines like those. In Real life, only El Al makes this flight. but it would be dull to just have 10 El Al jets flying up there.

[Flying_Pie]

Any of the BBJs would have no problem making it that far, the biggest issue would be speed. Most of us will probably be doing like .84, a 737 won't be able to pull that off for 4100nm.

I can host a Teamspeak for us to use so we can talk.
