Nice of you to drop by. Several of us took a look at your aerobatic site and work, awsome stuff. There are quite a few of us here in the TX squadron that are very interested in Sim Aerobatics and willing to give it a try.We mainly fly combat flight sim type scenarios, but we all have that "barnstormer" spirit within. Check out the TX movie if you get a chance, and hope to see you in the virtual skies and trade stories and info. as well. Take care .S~TX-TornadoBadd Azz Blue 3TX Squadron TOB~

S~ Mix!I agree with Tornado, you guys have a great squad. Love your site and I must send my sincere appreciation for the precision looks of your aerobatics screen shots. Great skins, great moves. I think we might be interested in doing some cooperative cross training at some point if you guys are willing. There are a number of pilots in TX interested in aerobatics flying and I'm sure they would be very excited to share ideas with you. Salute from Texas to Italy!TX-ZenBlack 6TX Squadron CO

Great to see that you stopped by! The screen shots on your site displayed your professionalism and skill, and I am very impressed at the level of organization you guys have. I imagine that coordination and timing are the greatest obstacles, but those screen shots look like you all are in sync, as I said in my computer aided Italian. . .excellent work, and I hope to see you guys fly in person! Maybe you should post a calender on your site that would let people know your show schedule, I would love to see the show live! Also, what names do yoo use when at Hyperlobby?? I am one of the non Texas based members of TX squad, I live in California ( as does Blackknight, and Kingsnake) but I posted a copy of your reply here in our members section so that they can see it. Maybe if any of the guys live near Tyler TX they will pay you a visit when you come to the states!!I am new to ICQ, but my # is: 192458028We are usually online from 0400 to 0800 GMT, but I for one will will get up early to visit one of your rooms!!TX-EcoDragon

Hi Everyone and thanks for the replies....I'm sure we'll find the way to have some flights together.As you can belive we don't have a monthly schedule for the training sessions since our leader and one of our other pilot are real civil pilots of Minerva Airlines and they're at home 10 days a month...Normally we get to meet on monday, Tuesday and Sundays around 21:00 local time (should be 20:00 GMT) but we could have no problems at least one or two times a month to try Sundays at 08:00 GMT to let you guys come and see/try our session...For TX-Kingsnake...if you want to see crash shots...well all I can say is that we try not to crash :-) but it's impossible..especially after the 3rd or 4th complete airshow one after the other ...we start to become tired and crashes become so easy that we start a new kind of Airshow with 5 TB-3 :-D or H111 with AMMO :-) :-) That's the best part of the show since Formation loops with TB-3 shooting themselves starts and we simply relax...As I told EcoDragon if you want to try a session with a couple of us just drop by and tell me you're a TX pilot we fly with FW190 A5 (we tried with the Dora but it has a too long excursion from 0% to 110% , more than 5 seconds !!) and Team Speak 2.We also do Single Aircraft shows and I'm preparing a complete flight display (8 minutes) so that we could really start ONLINE Airshows for teams formation flights and single aerobatic display!!!So contact me on ICQ (15011804) and if we meet we can go in FB for some loops and rolls !!Ciao to everybodyMIXFrancesco "MIX" Missarino#5 SOLO Pilot www.pav-amvi.it

I met up with "Mix" today around 2 PM pacific time (his bedtime) and we flew for an hour and a half or so. It was great practice, I learned quite a lot from him, and tried my hand at staying with him through some maneuvers. Many times I botched them terribly, but it was all excellent fun!!!! My first loop I brought power back to keep formation, well. . I brought it too far back (FB has much more delayed throttle response now) and as mix went up and over I hit 0 airspeed and my fw tumbled embarrassingly to the ground.  :-/I also had a hard time not drifting laterally over the tops of the clover leafs and loops he did when I was in the "Ladder" formation, I would always drop out one way or the other.  I am not sure how many of us REALLY want to do something like this, as it’s a whole new sort of flying, but I for one am thrilled at the prospect of some of our guys wanting to give it a whirl. Sadly, lag is not allowed for obvious reasons, and I think tons of practice would be needed to do this even with low precision.  I think I will try to start formation training when behind a bandit. .. instead of shooting him down I will just follow him around. . lolololS! Gents, S! Mix, that was AWESOME!!!!! thanks so much for your time and patience!!TX-EcoDragonWell, my respect for his group is bolstered even more by this

[LW_Tornado]

Dangit, I would have loved to attended this !!! Please do me this small favor Eco,  if you are about to fly with him or his crew and you see me online PLEASE gimme a holler, wouldnt want to miss that.S~TX-TornadoBlue 3B~

Gentlemen,For those interested, Mix invited 3 of us (will explain) to attend the PAV training sessions tomorrow and tuesday.  They use battle com and teamspeak, which I downloaded (TS anyway, at MIX's request). It will be at 12 PM PST and 2 PM in texas on both days.The reason they said 3 max, is because they can have NO lag while flying as they do. as it was i was pinging 260 to MIX today. I guess they need an OC3 connection of their own!! I am jazzed to do this, but if there are a few of you that want to go, I can opt out and make room for ya, otherwise, PM me on MSN at about 145 pm TX time, and i will pass the info along to you as I get it. MIX's HL Identity is PAV_MIX and he logs into ICQ for chat purposes. I also set up ICQ, pretty painless.S! Gents, hope that some of you can attend.TX-EcoDragonCurrent mount: P-39 Q10Favorite Plane: BF109-G6A/Sand a bandit on my 6Most feared/resented FB addition: LA-7Characteristic noise during dive as reported by a third party witness: GGGGRRRRRRRBBBBBRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWK!!!

Well everybody...I just logged-out from the first TX-PAV event !All I can say is that Tornado and EcoDragon are great Akro pilots and belive me you could really have a great Aerobatic team with two guys like these!We tried to show them our complete airshow..but we had a lot of lag with strange 200 - to -1500 ping's !! But we did our best ! :-PAfter another try ended with severe problems to our #3, we started a great FURBALL with EcoDragon flying around upside down, making loops and just watching these strange Italian pilots transforming themselves from PAV-pilots to FIGHTS-pilots!! :-)After this I took EcoDragon for a great 25 minutes of akro figures...loops, barrel rolls, spins (I'll send you the screenshots of this!!) and all you can do with a FW-190!!!We then ended up in Capo's Dog arena with TB-3's, FW-190, Bf-109, Hurricane's etc....It has been a GREAT night for us and we really hope to do more in future...Thank's a lot TX guy's...I belive we could really end up with a great friendship between our two sqads... Next thing I'll try is your TX OC3 Server...:-DBye Bye, Ciao Ciao and see ya tomorrow...let's hope with less lag!!MIXFrancesco "MIX" Missarino#5 SOLO Pilot www.pav-amvi.it

[LW_Tornado]

Ja Ja, was an Ubertime event for sure!!! Even with what lil lag there was, was awsome to say the least, and more difficult than it looks (believe me). But was a great time and the Dog-fighting was really fun as well. I think youll find the OC3 a suitable place for DF's and maybe some Akro flying. Anyways, the future is brite !!!S~TX-TornadoBadd Azz Blue 3TX Squadron TOB~

[TX-EcoDragon]

It was just awesome!! The pings in the room were hitting 1000-1500 at times, but they managed to tighten it up marvelously anyway. They flew brilliantly, and I have to say to all interested parties that they are a must see! If you like airshows, like the blue angels and T-Birds. . here ya go!!!I sorta have this fantasy that we could watch them in our OC-3, so we could all go and maybe have a lag free session. ;-)I t was great, to the pilots of PAV S!, my hat is off to you all!  I recorded  3 tracks, which got much of the flying, but teh fourth track was lost when I dissconnected before hitting stop recording. . . My flying with you Mix is what I lost. . I would really like to to see that, I am not sure if any of you were recording tracks, but if you did, I would love if I could get them. I was so excited to see our synchronized spins  and all the other stuff. . . but I dont have it  :-(
