.xinitrc

X startup script for the home directory. Initializes the X-screens, disables screen savers, places a logo-background-bitmap to keep our sponsor happy, starts the 2D-panel and the window manager (icewm, because it's cool).

Flight information

Airports

Activities will mainly take place at and around Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM), Lelystad Airport (EHLE), Volkel Air Base (EHVK) and the VU University Medical Center Helipad EH0001.

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 most of the Dutch airports including EHAM, EHRD, EHVK 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 or other Dutch/NATO mil aircraft.

Weather information

Reallife weather information can be found at the KNMI (Dutch Meteorological institute) website.

  • METAR current weather at airports
  • TAF expected weather at airports

If the weather is really bad, it is likely that the FSweekend guys will use a preset weather scenario.

The weather forecast of Thursday reads:

  • Saterday: 90% rain, Western wind (4 bft, 11-16 kts)
  • Sunday: 40% rain, Northeastern wind (3 bft, 7-10 kts)

Scenery

We will be using newly generated scenery in Lelystad.

Events

The guys from TransGear will organise a multiplayer event on both days. The event consist pilots flying pre-requested routes from and to Schiphol (EHAM). All activity at EHAM will take place around 13:00 GMT (that is 14:00 local time in the Netherlands). Traffic will be controlled by at least one (likely more) air traffic controller(s).

The people in Lelystad will have something to show to the public and might be able to participate during parts of the event (maybe there are even some visitors to our booth that would like to fly in one of our best MP events).

More information in the forum topic and on the TransGear website.
