This chapter is meant to collect and sum up people's experience with demonstrating Flightgear on expos. It should contain simple things like "don't forget to pack the silver screen for the beamer" or "how to prepare multi-display-setups" but also proposals on merchandising articles and what to bring for which type of esposition.

We'll start with a collection of ideas that have been floating around.

  • Merchandising: Have the World Scenery available on DVD for sale.
  • Have various versions of FlightGear (source, binaries, scenery, base package) for sale as well.
  • Have (a) beamer(s), so our graphics look a bit more impressive than on a 17" TFT screen.
  • Bring adaptors to connect real aviation headsets to our equipment.
  • It might be a good idea to have printed a few copies of some of the technical reports that have been presented for FlightGear and related or constituent parts. Don't present the papers more than pointing over to a stand with printouts for those interested in the technical details. This will give the necessary background info to the few advanced visitors to the booth and will not overstrain the others...
  • Prepare and - if possible - test settings for multiplayer- and/or multiscreen-setups before heading for the show.
