AirHauler Record Attempt � 8/21, 1800-2000 GMT

 

One of the optional features of AirHauler is the Radar sub-application. The app provides map and table views that show the location and certain other information in near real-time for all current AH users.

 

 

On Saturday, August 21, 2010, from 1800 � 2000 GMT the AirHauler community will attempt to have as many AH users as possible flying while monitored by the AH Radar app, which records the number of simultaneous users. The current record is 85 simultaneous users. We aim to shatter that.

If you�re an AH user, all that is necessary is that you be flying an AH flight (job or deadhead) and that you have the option to send your data to the AH Radar app checked in the Options pages to be sure your data is being sent to the server as you fly.

 

 

If you don�t have a good job available in your usual company and don�t want to mess that up, start another throw-away company and either pick any old job or �Fly to Airport (self)� from the Fleet screen. As long as your FS session is launched from within AH and the Radar option is checked you�ll be monitored and counted. You can delete the temporary company after you�re done and your original company will be unaffected.

 

AH developer Duncan �Slopey� Murray wasn�t the initiator of this, but has jumped in with a vengeance�

 

�I'm looking into running an FSHost server for the event, that way we can get everyone in a few places!

I'll put up a door prize from Just Flight - I'll have the server logs from the appropriate time period, and the winner will be chosen randomly from the handles (as I have all your email addresses), and there'll maybe be a few smaller prizes so you'll have a few chances of winning.�

 

The reference to multiplayer sessions in the first quoted paragraph above is optional � if you don�t want to participate in that, just fly and you�ll still be counted and will still be eligible for the prize drawing(s).

 

If you wish to follow the preparations I�ll do my best to keep this thread updated. There�s also an active thread on the JF/AH forum at�

Record Attempt Postponed Indefinitely

 

This from Slopey, on the JF site�

 

Hi All,

 

Cutting straight to the chase, I need to cancel the 20th.

 

The record attempt WILL take place shortly, however due to unforseen circumstances, it'll be impossible for me now to update AirHauler before next weekend, and the Friday date doesn't suit everyone anyway.

.

Lets aim for a date into September and that way we can publicise it beyond the forums here, there'll be added functionality in AH to make it a "proper" event and there'll be multiplayer and voice servers in place to make it a proper party!

 

Apologies for having to postpone it but I can assure you it's not a decision I've taken lightly, and I can also assure everyone that it won't be postponed for any more than a few weeks, and that it'll be better than ever!!!!

Cheers,

 

Slopey

 

I�ll post again when there�s any more news.

[mutley 4,498]

Yes that is a shame I hope it's not early Sept when I could be away

Thanks for letting us know John

[ddavid 149]

Mallorca or the Scilly Isles, Boss?

Cheers - Dai.

[mutley 4,498]

I wouldn't mind both!

[ddavid 149]

Aaah - so it's not both!

Harwich for the continent?!?

Cheers - Dai.
