In conjunction with VATSIM Germany and Langen FIR, AeroTexas has authorized flights from Austin (KAUS) to Frankfurt, Germany (EDDF) combined with a double-connecting flight to Nice, France (LFMN). Additionally you can also start in Frankfurt or Nice and return to Austin as your first leg. All members of AeroTexas can participate in this event and all aircraft equipment type restrictions have been lifted.

Cabin and Crew

Cabin and crew sounds are returning to AeroTexas. Beta testing continues with this old feature now newly returned. The sounds are of course optional, as you can see here. Also notice the other new items in the Options menu.

Interested in beta testing? Just shoot me an e-mail.

Fly to ZID

This weekend Indianapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center is hosting two events: "Louisville After Dark", which is Friday evening starting at 5:PM CST- and "NFL Madness", which is Saturday at the same time.

AeroTexas members have three routes from which to choose: Dallas (KDFW) to Louisville (KSDF), Cincinnati (KCVG), and Indianapolis (KIND). All flights must first-leg originate in Dallas.

This is a great opportunity to fly out of DFW because it's not part of our regular route network, nor is SDF, IND or CVG. Flying on the VATSIM network from 2300-0300Z is encouraged, but not required. Flight reports for this event are valid through the weekend, and inbound legs to DFW will count as Return flights.

AJAX Flight Display

Logo by Greg Raiz.

The live flight display was recently updated to show active aircraft in a Google Map on the website, but this is only an intermediate step. Using the latest web technology, a new flight display map is being developed that will use Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX). The result? A live flight display that updates aircraft positions on the map with heading-oriented icons without page refreshes, and an intelligent backend that reduces server load to boot! I'm not aware of any other VA who has this kind of ACARS display. Stay tuned!
