Booth information
This year will mark the start of a (hopefully long and fruitful collaboration with a big partner in the airracing world). After several years of demonstrating FlightGear in the Amsterdam / Lelystad area, and following a short stint at Innsbruck last year, this year we'll be visiting the Las Vegas / Grand Canyon area. Demo flights will be conducted off the various airorts in the area, and we'll be aiming to have a WIFI lan connection available. The main demo equipment will consist of a regular (AMD quad core) 3-monitor / 1 projector PC (DTs setup), and the 10 CPU/12 monitor "Thomas-Krenn hardware" mainframe.
