This month we've presented FlightGear at the annual [[FSweekend]] meeting held in the Aviodrome museum at [[Lelystad Airport]], the Netherlands. This year, we (Durk Talsma, Martin Spott, Torsten Dreyer, Gijs de Rooy and Jorg van der Venne) presented FlightGear there for the fourth time, and on every occasion our presentation is getting bigger and bigger. This year we managed to bring five separate demo stations. Four of these were configured to drive three monitors each, and the fifth one was a FlightGear [[Howto: Build your own procedure trainer|procedure trainer]]. In addition, we had access to a wireless modem, and a projector. During the event, a multiplayer event was organized at [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol|EHAM]], in which a number of booth members participated. Looking back, it seems quite unreal that we managed to bring five individual computers, more than 15 TFT monitors, yokes, joysticks, dozens of cables, several USB hubs, a projector, network switches, a UMTS router, several notebook computers and a coffee maker, hook it all up and have a working multiplayer enabled FlightGear network running.
