I can see this taking shape. I have some information for you that is relevant for an upcoming SAR exercise. We'll chat about it soon.

proposal for a SAR Roleplaying session
Hi, I thought a bit about this so this is not so much a very well hashed out proposal as a putting together of some ideas for a SAR Roleplaying session. As a principle we will try to keep most of the things in one region, and have only the ones w...

Perhaps there's an issue with scripts. I would like to invite anyone of you, on a regular basis (Candy?) to test out aircrafts. Also we could see if scripts are more problematic than others (am thinking of the the traditional Cubey Terra ones as b...

After some consideration...let us make sure our next exercise or event is something we can accomplish in a single sim.

I have to admit that I may be the exception here. Perhaps not the only one, but I have now less problems flying through sims than before. I run a 3 years old macbook pro which is still very powerful and a quad core hp workstation with Linux on it ...

Flapter with TCS: First Impressions
As some of you may recall, I'm usually wandering around Caledon with a funny little flying machine called a Flapter, designed by Ms. Ilsa Munro. It looks a bit like a bug, as hovering and floating ability, and is very practical to mingle around in small rivers or torrents. It is also an excellent flyer, although a bit slower than most RCAF planes. It is however much faster than battle bugs.

Although I was an hour late for the dogfight yesterday, I did practice in Extropia and (thanks to the RCAF members who practiced with me!) and here are my impressions about the Flapter. Ilsa Munro was kind enough to customize it and enabled TCS on it.

The good:
- it has an excellent stability in flight, which allows some easy lock-in on targets.
- it's a very effective against battlebugs.
- more surprizingly, its flight behaviour allows an interesting ability to attack on sea/ground targets. I engaged with some kind of a flying ironclad in Extropia. I shot it down and I was able to do that both in the air and on the surface with even greater ease. Also, its ability to float and surf on the sea, let alone hover around its preys does matter a lot.

In short, it definitely makes a compelling choice for recon, and sea patrol/attack.

The bad:
- it's slower than any Thadovian Prowler/Mawler out there, let alone any jets or any WW2-like machine. So it can be an easy prey.
- TCS may need a bit of more work on this machine, but it's okay for the moment. Flaps animation has to be disabled (thanks Ilsa for the tip).

Your comments are welcome!
Dan.

Hello Dan. I like the Seaplane patrol idea. Excellent!

About Me:
My name is Dan Gervasi and I am a recent Caldeon Citizen. As I love flying in SL I thought I could perhaps contribute to my new country, Caledon, by joining the RCAF.
I Love Flying Because:
Ah... perhaps because I always wanted to be a pilot in RL but could not...

Anyone want to form a recon/maritime patrol squad?

If so, I'd be interested. My flying machine seems to be made for that, can hover, take off and land on see and streams. Feel free to ping me.

Dan.
