Hey Fellas...

Here's the rough plan.  In Saturdays afternoon session, I will host a FSX multiplayer "NATOPS Mission Group" that will use the SFCarrier2 mission in conjunction with the Sludge Basic Hornet.  We will first try to use Gamespy in-game comms, w/3 base frequencies:  CATCC/AirBoss - 124.0, Paddles - 128.0 , Tanker - 132.0.  Then we will try using TeamSpeak, using a similar system of 3 programmed channels (same as above), that are selectable w/Function keys and activated using a PushToTalk button.  There will be instructions on how to download/program TeamSpeak prior to flight time.  Will ask after both sessions are complete, which comm system is better based on player opinions.

This NATOPS session will be styled for pro-wanna-be's but is not exclusive to players that are familiar with Navy Carrier Procedures and Landing.  If you have the desire to learn and wanna join the session, you are welcome to come in and give it a whirl.  I, or others in the session, can teach "on the fly" navy carrier pattern/landing procedures... For newcomers, if you have difficulty at first but still like the concept and want to learn, stay patient, keep practicing inside the session and feel free to ask questions at any time.

For FSX Navy Carrier OPS veterans, employ the same practices we have talked about and also be ready to help anybody that needs it.

For all players, when you select your Sludge Basic, please update the "details" Tail Number and Flight Number both w/your initials and modex.  So for me, Christian Snow - modex 202, its CS202 for Tail Number and Flight Number w/NAVY or MARINE selected for the Airline Call Sign box.  For those of you that dont have a "modex", make up one anywhere from 100-700.  Current modexes in use: 202, 302, 518, 207, 301, 199, 285, 300, 256, 401.

If anybody has anything else to offer or suggest, Im open to all requests.

Hey Sludge

SOB301 will be there tonight might need to join the session a bit later but will try and have everything setup i.e. teamspeak etc... before hand so that I dont waste anybodys time ..looking forward to it ..how are you going to monitor all 3 frequencies at once ..assuming that you will be airboss catcc/paddles and tanker pilot/boomoperator does fsx have the facility to do that or teamspeak ? My guess is we will have to still coordinate things through skype first as a general chat channel until everyone is fluent with radio procedures.

Seeya later

Sludge,

   Are we using TS2 or TS3?  What's the server IP for TS?   I agree, let's try to use the in-game comms first.

Paco aka 518

Paco:
Sludge,

   We also need a ground/common freq for when we spawn and take off to the carrier, how about 121.8.  Which just happens to be the ground freq for KSFO.

Cool.  Im heading out to golf at the range now.  Will be up and running around 2pm US Central Daylight Time (GMT -5).  Yeah, if you can get TS3 Client setup beforehand that would be great.  Raz's tutorial video works pretty good for initial setup.  As far as in-game Gamespy, as Paco said, Ill put out the GROUND freq of 121.8, along with the previously listed freqs.  For the Tanker freq, thats only there right now as a "player coordination freq", for the players going to tank to talk to each other.  Dont have enough for boom operator or tanker pilot yet.  I will do CATCC/Airboss, as Ill host the FSX session and Raz will do Paddles for now.  We'll probly switch that up as the day goes, and also, if youre a player parked on the deck and you want to try either... youre welcome to do it.  COPY ALL, SOB301!!

Paco...

We are gonna use TS3.  When I get online or if you see Raz (Duncan) in the Skype server, ask him for the IP, then favorite that.  I dont have it immediately available and once I get back online from my range session today, Ill make a new Skype chat forum for "NATOPS Mission Group".  Also, on TS3, he built 3 in-game channels and one out-of-game "coordination" channel.  Thats easily modifyable to add the "ground" channel you brought up.  Great idea, btw.


Gotta run, will be back online around 2.
