Free Flight, Free Speech

@elgaton: Mind updating the one frontpage in Curtis' Forum? Done. Two quick updates regarding the Festival repository: ⋅  its URL has changed to https://github.com/AlessandroMenti/festival-flightgear-november-2016 . The old URL ( https://github.com/ElGaton/festival-flightgear-november-201...

I still need to add: 1. Altitude Limits 2. Zoom Limits 3. Callsigns and Frequencies 4. Airspace Classification (Class A, B, C, D and so on)** 5. SIDS 6. STARS 7. Other information for EGBB. 8. Common routes between airports** I'd suggest: ⋅  using the official UK eAIP (note: since we've a...

I'm getting in touch with FGUK to know what are their plans for the Festival nights; since (as you can read on the FGUK thread) most of them prefer not to fly under ATC guidance, besides keeping Wales ATC-free, I'd ask if they need other zones before we start working on OR files. @J Maverick 16: do ...

It's difficult to coordinate with people who just don't care about ATC... anyway, all we want at FGUK is stated here: [snip] Thanks! I'll mark the restricted area in OR.

An update on available controllers - KIWI34 has sent me a PM; due to personal reasons, he will not be able to take part in this edition. ATC at Fukuoka will, thus, not be available, unless another volunteer chimes in.

The first day of the Festival was excellent - I've had to deal with quite a bit of traffic. Just a note to controllers - please fill in flight plans in OpenRadar ! To do so: ⋅  start OpenRadar and open the Flightplans tab; ⋅  check "Enable flightplan exchange" and put h...

I'll send him a PM asking him to set an access token on the channels. Also, could you please tell me the nicknames of the people trolling the server?

A quick question - who created the channels? (People who create them have administration right on them, including the ability to mute trolls; this could be a quick workaround which would not require us to change servers.)

Is there a "final" planning with when, who and where ATC will be during the we in Japan. Unless there are last minute changes, the first post on the thread on Curtis' forum should be up to date - please tell me if there are any inaccuracies. (IAHM-COL - could you please update the first p...
