Title: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: Bob Reed on September 20, 2014, 06:13:44 AM
I am going to spend today dressing up the live streaming pages. We put them up in a hurry last year. Time to make them look pretty!

Great idea bud. Let me know if you need anything.

Any interest in Flight Crew Badges for this event?  I'd be glad to make them up (my treat) 

I'd use the Wordlflight Team Logo, photo and Flight Crew in bold letters and of course your name.  If any one is interested I'll make up some samples, post them here and then make them up.

Alright George. I will send it over....

Here's a sample I threw together, Version 1.0.  I'll have some different version in a few days.  Input and ideas are welcome.

That's pretty neat. And if nothing else would make an awesome souvenir.

Yes I like this idea a lot and they look great!
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: geeman47 on September 21, 2014, 09:49:28 AM
LOL Well I will need everyone's photo who will be flying,  and yes they are intended as a souvenir of the event.

On a side note, make sure you wear them at the hotel bar, order lots of drinks and tell everyone you are flying in 2 hours LOL   NOOOO, don't do that.
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: Trevor Hale on September 21, 2014, 12:20:17 PM
Lol. I will get my wife to take a pic of me tonight and I will send it your way.
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: geeman47 on September 21, 2014, 01:35:20 PM
All you guys flying in the event can email the photos to me,  include the name you want on it.  If you want a nickname to like "Viper", "Crash" or mine "I can't find the center line" LOL  That's too long but you get the idea.

George

Good deal Frank on the pic.  Can you rent a Capt's uniform for the pic?  These days you have to be careful, somebody might call the Fed's on you (oh wait, they already know what we do thanks to the NSA LOL) 

The sooner the better for sending me tho photos guys, I'll need to send them to the photo lab, get them returned to me and then I'll mail them to Sam (if that works for you Sam??)  This way the crews arriving for Day 1 of the event will have them because Mike & I are arriving a few days after the start.

Spent some time last night testing out the audio mixer, ambient sound via Microphone, ATC comms, Sim environment sounds and outputting that to multiple targets: Camera MIC input  & normal Line-out audio.

Everything works beautifully so we should be able to mix every audio source and send it to the media server. The mixer has a really handy effect called "Radio Voice" which mimics ATC voice comms in an aircraft. It can be added individually to any channel which in turn isolates it to just the ATC Comm channel.

In other words: COOL TOYS!

Post by: Trevor Hale on September 25, 2014, 09:41:17 AM
Ray, this sounds awesome..  Maybe you could send instructions and send it by fedex so we can have it for the whole thing.. :)

I am sooo excited about all of this the time just can't go by fast enough :)
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: RayS on September 25, 2014, 10:15:51 AM
That's actually a great idea... I need one more cable and then I'll ship it off with instructions. It's fairly simple. Wire everything up, then adjust levels to suit your taste.

I'll have to get Sam's address...

That's less crap I have to haul across the country!
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: geeman47 on September 25, 2014, 10:53:00 PM
Wow, you guys are getting with it.  Nice job on the audio mix setup Ray, makes me wish I still had all my A/V equipment from my Video business, 16 chan Mackie Mixer etc...Great job on the video too,  you guys don't need my help in that department.  My business was back in the 90's and we were just starting to do Non-Linear Editing on the computer, made my A/B Roll VCR/VTR's and digital Video/Audio Mixer obsolete. 

Just a reminder, I only have photos from Ray & Trev so far and I know several others asked about the Name Badges, Sam, Fred and Bob I believe.  Lets get the photos in Please :idiot: because I need them back in time to snail mail them to Sam so everyone has one for the 1st day of the event or their first day of the event.

You guys know how these days are going to start counting down very fast when it comes to getting things done, and not fast enough for those of us waiting with "baited breath"  for it to start.

On a side note, what is "Baited Breath" ???  Sounds like something you wouldn't want to smell  LOL

Hi George, probably best you set a deadline to get you photos. I may just have to use the one in my avatar, been too busy to get a decent photo taken that isn't from more than 10 years ago. :o

Hi George -

Kyle, Do a selfie  LOL.  Great shop and a good taste in Cameras!

Deadline for the Name badge/ID photos is Oct 8th.

Fred & Sam-Great guys, thanks.  Won't take me long to have yours ready, once I have the design done I just drop in the new photo, change the name and home base and it's ready to print.

Don't know what's going on but I've been trying to attach a picture for 2 hours and it just doesn't load.  I'll try again later.
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!

I am pretty sure I have spent several hours in that shop as well... In fact I think that is my laptop next to him! What a small world...... :idiot:
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!

I'm pretty sure you took that picture too Bob.  :idiot:

Hey Bob, stop picking on Kyle, he lets me borrow his shop and his camera, and his laptop. lol

Here is my picture George!

Sam,

Anybody ever tell you that you could be John Travolta's twin?

Is that what you want to use?  If so, no problem.  Do you want your name on the ID/Name Badge?

George

Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!

I think just add it as an attachment? I don't think an attachment shows up in preview, but it does when you post.

George -

Add my base as KPHF - (Newport News - Williamsburg).

Post by: geeman47 on September 29, 2014, 10:49:45 PM
Bob, photo looks good and Fred copy on the KPHF base.  I'll get those done in the morning and send you proofs. 

Great job to all for getting them in...now I need to get mine done, you'd think the guy who was also a professional photographer would have his done already but haven't even started on mine LOL
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: geeman47 on September 30, 2014, 04:04:54 AM

What do we want to use for the name " Guest", "Special Guest", VIP Guest"   Or anything else?  I like the idea of one for our guest(s)  How many do we need? Two enough?
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: Trevor Hale on October 01, 2014, 02:45:13 AM

Thanks guys...Anyone else before I send them off to the printer?

George
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: Trevor Hale on October 05, 2014, 05:13:30 AM
George. Let's make 5 CREW badges. For those that we don't have pictures for. And we could use the world flight logo for the picture.

How's does that sound?
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!

Is my pleasure to announce that yesterday was a busy day at the sim, engineers from the sound company worked on the sim until late evening, today they're schedule to comback and keep adding more files to their program, also All Children Hospital official visited the sim and was very impressed, let's keep on pushing forward for a successful 2014 WFT .
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: Trevor Hale on October 11, 2014, 04:46:39 PM
That's excellent news Sam. I am excited to hear the sound. Having sound engineers be able to interface real simulator equipment and audio files will be something else to hear.

With any luck everything will go perfect this year.

Thanks for all your efforts with this.
Title: Re: Getting ready for the event!
Post by: Sam Llorca on October 11, 2014, 05:19:40 PM
Thanks Trevor, it hasn't been an easy task but we are getting there, the biggest issue right now is getting the two computers to share sounds, they'll be here tomorrow also, couldn't finish it, long days! But is all for a good cause.

I will be updating the flight schedule tomorrow to reflect changes from a couple of the pilots.

After tomorrow we will be on the last week for new pilots. As of Friday this week the remaining flights will be open for bid by pilots that have made their donations.

NOTAM: any pilots wanting to joint us this is last Call
