Ok,

I have been asked about this by some new people. I was waiting to see what my schedule would be this weekend.

Before I decide on a certain time, I need to know how many people on different continents are interested.

If you are new and want to give this a try, post here with which continent you live on. Please post within 24 hours of the time on this message.

Requirements will be-

1.5 patch
nations v2
Plane pack 6.1

If you need to get the plane pack, check the "PP 6.1 released" topic in this section. It will take you to Spin's site where the update is posted. If you need help installing it, post here.

The other requirement is to go to http://fscentral.50megs.com and read the online tutorial. It's in the On-line section of the website.

When I get some feedback and post the time, I'll need some experienced users to show up and act as cannon fodder

Lessee- Spitfires against Stukas- that should work (just kidding, they won't be THAT lopsided)

Off topic, instead of creating a french version of your fscentral site, what about creating some .pdf files containing all the important infos ? it would be easy to update.

Da Wing Waxer is now Da Jug Head,,he found his old name.

time zone map link below http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/world_tzones.html

This Time zone map Might Help,, Which IS MST on the above map, It's alphabetized!

Getting 6.1 now,,this was painstakenly put together by Spin.... great work

I'll try to be around if I can work out what time you mean! I'm ECT

the link for Planepack 6.1 Upgrade is http://www.angelfire.com/games2/spinsdoe/
And it requires PlanePack 6 for it to work, Hence the small size of 14.79Mb

It's currently downloading un-interupted on my 56k modem at a great 5kbs,, so spins site host server is fast connection. estimated time 47minutes,,Time to get a bite to eat, a quick drink, and come back read this forum for a bit!, and Then, I'll be online tonight! You might see me in a new improved powered Stuka, great

Did you know that at 1200bd in the same time! only 423Kbytes would have been received.

And did you know that if you had a v92 Modem your upload speed would be around the same as the download speed, current upload is SET at 33kbs and 44-48kbs download, so you could in theory get 44-48kbs upload to!, thats an nice little increase for games players with no chance of getting cable or DSL. Of course your ISP has to support it! thats the draw back, I can't find one with it!

I did not notice this until you send me an e-mail. I can only guess what 8 pm MST is Midwest Standard Time. That will be 24.00 hours in The Netherlands (+ 6 hours).

Is this right? Late!

P.S. 26-5-2001:

I forgot the hour time difference to Greenwhich. So it is +7 hours; this means 01.00 hours in the night. Sorry that is to late for me.

MST = Mountain Standard Time GMT-7
CST = Central Standard time (the midwest...) GMT-6

For all of those in Europe and Australia/NZ for who this time doesn't work, this was why I needed some quick feedback. I was trying to set my schedule up for Saturday.

If I would have had some replies fromm people on other continents earlier, I could have scheduled it earlier too.

Don't worry though, I haven't forgot you. I'll let you know within a few days through another post, but I will hold another newbie night within the NEXT two weekends and will have times where those in Europe or the pacific can join in (without staying up late or getting up in the wee hours of the morning).
