This wiki page lists all information required for participants to the [[FSweekend]] and the [[EHAM]] Historic Multiplayer event.
==Flight Information==
===Airports===
Activities will mainly take place at and around [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol]] (EHAM), [[Lelystad Airport]] (EHLE), [[Volkel Air Base]] (EHVK) and [[EH0001]]. A few things to keep in mind:
* The main runways and gates at '''EHAM''' will be occupied by [[Interactive Traffic|AI traffic]], so MP activity should be concentrated at ruwnay 22/04 and the tarmac east of that runway. The other runways may be used by the Lelystad team for promotional reasons.
* Be aware that '''EH0001''' requires an apt.dat edit. More information can be found in the [[VU University Medical Center]] article. The helipad should be occupied by only one helicopter at a time. However, two helis are only allowed in exceptional situations and if one of them is parked at the pad near the hangar.
===Charts===
All charts that you may have to use on your flights are available at http://ais-netherlands.nl (AIS Publications > Integrated Package). Please note that these are the most up to date charts available, so certain situations might not have been changed in FlightGear (EHAM, EHLE and EHVK taxiways should be correct though).
Parking positions have been created for EHAM, EHRD and EHLE (A1-A6, B1 and B2).
All named airports are for civil usage, except for [[Volkel Air Base]] (EHVK). This base will be occupied by the (AI) F-16 squadrons and likely one setup in Lelystad. Feel free to join with your F-16.
===FGCOM Frequencies===
[[FGCOM]] will be used for EHAM Tower communications. There here listed frequencies are all plausible. The final frequency decision will be made Friday evening and published on the forum and wiki.

Schiphol will be the only controlled airport (10.00 and 17.00 CET on both days). Keep your eyes open and look around for traffic at all times when flying at the other airports (this applies to EHAM as well of course).
===Weather information===
Reallife weather information can be found at the KNMI (Dutch Meteological institute) website.
* [http://knmi.nl/actueel/metar.html METAR] current weather at airports
* [http://knmi.nl/waarschuwingen_en_verwachtingen/luchtvaart/nederlandse_vliegveldverwachtingen.html TAF] expected weather at airports
Likely we will be using a predefined weather scenario, due to the bad conditions over the past days. The scenario will be distributed via the forum and wiki, so everyone will be flying in the same weather.
==Scenery==
We will be using newly generated scenery in Lelystad. To make sure we won't see any aircraft taxiing on the grass or through building, please [http://foxtrot.mgras.net/static/NL-OSM.tar.bz2 download the scenery] to your local machine.

===EHAM Historic===
He will be flying 3 aircraft : the first one is based on the one available from CVS, but with some important modifications to the FDM, as well as adding an MP compatible, multi colour smoke machine.
Since the organizers of the event have requested to consider the commemoration of 100 years of powered flight in the Netherlands, our idea is to have a historic aircraft gathering at "Schiphol-oost", the eastern tarmac of EHAM (parking positions A11 to A31), that runs along the 04/22 runway. We will probably keep running AI traffic at EHAM during the event, which will be using the other five runways, so all multiplayer aircraft should be using runway 04/22 for arrival and departure.  
This will allow some spectacular aerobatic figures, as well as hopefully, a 3 plane fly-over in the colours of the Netherlands flag.  
 
Get it from his workshop, right [http://sites.google.com/site/nicqsworkshop/home/Stampe-SV4.zip?attredirects=0&d=1 here]
Public opening hours will be between 10.00 and 17.00 CET (09.00 and 16.00 UTC), so ideally that should be the time with most multiplayer activity.
 
====Participating aircraft====
These aircraft have been chosen, because they have (had) something to do with aviation in the Netherlands (100 years celebration), or KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (90 years celebration). Use the Dutch liveries (Fokker, KLM, Transavia, RNLAF), where possible.
 
'''Everyone participating should have the FSweekend livery package installed.''' Using liveries other than aircraft's default or those in this package might be invisible for one another.

Aerobatics show

NicQ has offered to do an aerobatics show at EHAM, scheduled for 14.00, 15.00, and 16.00 (CET) for about 10 minutes each.

He will be flying 3 aircraft : the first one is based on the one available from CVS, but with some important modifications to the FDM, as well as adding an MP compatible, multi colour smoke machine. This will allow some spectacular aerobatic figures, as well as hopefully, a 3 plane fly-over in the colours of the Netherlands flag. Get it from his workshop, right here

He's also fly two of grtux's aircraft, both using a jsbsim FDM : the Fouga Magister (new version with smoke machine add-on as of today, November 6th) as well as his brilliant Stampe SV-4 (and its smoke add-on)to the colours of the French Aeronavale, in which he'll showcase spins, inverted flick rolls and other figures. Both aircraft need a separate add-on downloaded and installed over the aircraft's folder to enable the smoke machines. Install the aircraft first, then the smoke add-on over it, letting it replace files as needed.

All aircraft and add-on used for the showcase can be downloaded from the links at the bottom of the page. Make sure to (re) download all 3 if you want to be able to see the aerobatic show in all its glory, as there have been recent updates to all of them !!
