Free Flight, Free Speech

Hi ACI
You are confirmed on the 747-8VVIP

The users of that aircraft, we will need to launch in the runway and promptly taxi to apron. There is a nasal initialization problem still unressolved. If you launch in gate, your plane is dead.

1.) For all with a 747-8VVIP:
You have to spawn on the runway and taxi to the parkings. Since 3.4 somethings changed and the VVIP is a very old work of mine (actually the second plane I ever touched) and I dropped the ball there. Some of the problems are obviously caused by a bad initialized position if you use parking pos or lat-lon-heading. I can't say, I haven't figure it out completely.
However, after you have her up and running, taxiing or relocating her with the menu works as far as I can say. Sorry for the inconvenience!

2.) I have an entirely different problem. Since about two days, I can't hold a connection with Mumble. The Mumble server disconnects me about all ten seconds, sometimes and only if I am lucky, he wits twenty seconds. So voice communication is a problem. I asked Michat about it, he says, others are kicked as well, all the time, but he is not the owner of the server, he has no email for him, nothing. He tries to contact him via Curt's forum, but he didn't sound optimistic and we agreed, that it is a server problem. So .. there is something coming up and it doesn't look nice at the moment.

Hi JWocky
Testing.
I have mumble up and connected for some 10 minutes. No interruptions or drop-outs. Mumble server seems fine from here.
I sent you an email

Okay, I got two disconnects in 30 seconds total. I may have to reset the config or reinstall Mumble tomorrow. If that solves it, I will be so happy.

Are you still in need of last minute ATC's or are you not having ATC's anymore because I noticed that no one commented in the forum about there being ATC service at any airport. If so I can do departure but I'm not sure about arrival.

I will "control" the proccedures. There will not be ATC service per se, and it is not needed.
Thanks thou,

I hate missing the tours. Gonna make my best effort to be there tmrw. Hope to see you all! I will be taking the Boeing 747-8i VVIP if I attend!

My FG is feeling a little crashy today :/

A few hours to our meet in PHX for the USA Tour. The weather forecasts proposes a beautiful day for flying today . Maybe some mist on the arrival.
