VFAT 2007 Preliminary Registration Thread

VFAT 2007 Preliminary Registration Thread

The “Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams” is something like RIAT or MAKS: a big airshow where virtual aerobatic teams and solo pilots can fly with each other and perform their displays in front of the Lock On community.

This year, the VFAT will go through its 3rd anniversary and with the significant grow over the last 2 years the VFAT can be called the biggest Virtual Airshow of the world.

The dates are now determined as:

Rehearsal - November 09/10, 2007

The Show - November 16/17/18, 2007

To registrate, please leave the following information:

1. Name (+website):

After the “VFATmod2007” is finished, all teams will receive a confirmation for participation at the VFAT2007.

For this reason, registrations give no 100% guarantee for actual participation at the VFAT2007. Next month, Oktober, the official VFAT thread :) with all additional information will be started.

WOW! 8 different teams of 6+ pilots already signed up to participate, all with ~40+ minute shows (not including takeoffs, landings of course). Counting off the top of my head, that should come out to roughly 7 hours of just formation flying teams SO FAR each day if every team were to fly all days... Granted I'm sure there will be different teams, different days depending on each teams availability during the day/weekend... but WOW! :shocking: :thumbsup:

Definitely looking forward to some solo trials or other acts competing for remaining time slots now that the weekend is already jam-packed... :joystick:

Yep, VFAT sure is evolving. Here's to hoping for live streaming!

And a great mix of European and Stateside teams, so should work out well for the Euro/US time slots.

The streaming camereman sure will be busy lol

Should be no problem Airone - I'll just need the .max file when I put the mod together. :thumbup:

D D Dumm DD Dum taaadaaaaaa hmmm hmm hmmmmm dd dumm d dumm

hey frazer u there ?? :joystick::surprise:

@Kato, this might be early or the wrong place to ask, but by what date do you need everyone's .max file in order to put together the VFAT07 mod and test it?

@Lawndart: I think we have to clarify first how's gonna fly on which server. So we would need 2 or 3 small mods instead of 1 big mod.

It is of the belief by Kato that he can get everyone on the same mod, even with those who use the F-15s with different models. There is info on this, Laud, in the VTB thread regarding VFAT.

Whats the spectator server details? And are soloists allowed to fly?

Solo's are also welcome at the VFAT. If you have a good solo program, we would be glad to see it!

For more information please keep an eye at the Official VFAT forum: http://vfat.virtual-jabog32.de/forum/index.php?sid=a7129fac02b0f2c07189c0e7962ac2eb

Maybe we should try to bring together the most important thoughts and ideas into the VFAT-forums to have one central location to talk about. Reading through two or three different forums is loads of work.

The earlier the better, but I would guess no later that 4 weeks before the event, so mid October.

There are always unforseen bugs to eliminate. I was up all night fixing a last minute bug in the 2005 VFAT mod!!

Thanks
