===Atlas Virtual Airlines debuts!=== | |||
FlightGear's new, unified, Virtual Airline, [[Atlas Virtual Airlines]] (AVA), finally opened its doors to the public in early April. AVA offers numerous pioneering aspects for its pilots, such as a fully functional Pilot Report page for flights completed. The Airline's debut, after months of waiting, sparked a major recruitment, and Atlas is approaching the 30-member mark! Other achievements include its own forum, a sophisticated aircraft tracking system, and the addition of the newly designed IL-96, which was added to the airlines fleet to serve under a separate section, Atlas Virtual Cargo (AVC). The Airline has also received liveries for all of its aircraft, minus the IL-96. These are available only to registered pilots. | |||
So far, the airline has been a fantastic success, and Atlas thanks all of its devoted members for a great start! Those interested can check it out here[http://atlasvirtualairlines.com]. Remember, most discussion is held off of the FlightGear forums, and you need to be a member to get involved! | |||

Piloter, Trennor, Gargleflump, and Reeed are all looking forward to seeing anyone who might want to connect for a few hours flying, organize virtual fly-ins, and other fun stuff on an irregular basis. There is a channel on the FG IRC net, "#fg_flying_club," where you can come and connect with those of us who've so far committed. The current channel topic states, "Fly Together - Organize Fly-Ins - Suggest New Areas to Fly - Helping Each Other Learn by Having Fun." This might sound like a rehash of the multi-player forum, but it's designed more for the spur-of-the-moment flights one might like to make with a friend (or a new friend!) or to get together to organize something more substantial. One or two requests: please take FG programming or technical discussions to their respective channels, rather than get into them in the FC. And, please be willing to share and help other pilots with their flying skills, sharing yours, and helping others. This is meant to be light-hearted, happy and FUN!! So come join us, leave your cares, worries and problems at the door, and just hook up with someone, pick a locale, plan your flight, and GO. See you in the air. | Piloter, Trennor, Gargleflump, and Reeed are all looking forward to seeing anyone who might want to connect for a few hours flying, organize virtual fly-ins, and other fun stuff on an irregular basis.
