Go pack the radio. Step away from the keyboard and pack the radio. Report back here with your results.  :D :D :D :o 8).

I'm excited to see it because I discovered how to connect Teensy to X-Plane with my radio code, and utilize a single plugin for up to 127 Teensy boards running.

...this could change things....

While I was wiring up my ATC panel tonight I found some more goodies to bring to give away.  ;D  Ray I found a really cool way to have 128 inputs to a Teensy using only 2 wires. :)

Sorry Craig,

We are going to miss the cookie-filled brownies too!

I know that when you have a business and family to take care is very hard to do this type of events.

Take care and we'll see you next year!

I am also so bummed that I cannot make it this year!

But I will be with you guys in spirit and will be watching from afar......I just completed my donation to ACH to support the cause.

I do intend to fly at least a couple of the WorldFlight routes this weekend from my sim here at home....watch out for UAL #1120.

Best regards,
Fred

So it was a full day at WF U.S.A. central. Mostly work on the streaming stuff. Can you believe I have only actually been in the cockpit once since I got here. Just went up and sat in her. Nothing powered on or anything. Tomorrow is a different story. We have several things to test and double check so flying her is on the to do list! Oh the work load.. lol  ;D Anyway by tomorrows end we will be ready for the games to begin. I am so excited!!

I land at KTPA around 1830 tonite with a couple of local pilots in the jumpseat so I should be able to get a ride to the pax terminal so I can get the rental.

Wouldnt mind going up for a fly this evening for a little airwork, say an hour over the Gulf of Mex and recover back to KSRQ for some bounces :)

Warren, We look forward to getting you in on this. PTT is going to be the old fashioned way. Once trevor is here we will use wideFS to pass the button to the Vpilot software. We are ready for the arrivals and bouncing in our seats waiting! This is going to be an awesome event. Just remind me I said that a few sleepless days from now!  ;)
