LIVE SHOW! Virtual Aerobatic Team "Berkuts" 5&6 July

[BR=11=Frazer]

The Show
In preparation of the Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams and as an official announcement of our new Virtual Aerobatic Team, we would like to present the VAT “Berkuts” with a live display.
The show will take place on Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th of July.
Everyone is welcome to our server and watch! (LockOn FC 1.12 Required)

We plan to do two displays each day with a capacity of 30 spectators for every show.
This is only a limited amount with the obvious reason to reduce the chances of server instabilities.
If you miss a seat there is no need to worry, we will do a total of 4 displays during the weekend and we will provide tracks afterwards.

During the show, there will be a camera helicopter airborne.
You could use this helicopter to make interesting views. Go to this helicopter with the F2 key and you will be able to easily switch between aircraft with F5. You can zoom in and out using the CTR+/ and CTR+* keys and change position with the up-down-left-right arrows on the numpad.
To make the ultimate "Berkuts" experience, also download our Berkuts Skin!

Airshow Importance:
- It is strictly forbidden to leave and/or join the mission during the show! This will couse lag and could ruin our airshow.
- It is not allowed to use chat as long as the wheels are off the ground.
- Its strictly forbidden to take screenshots or run fraps during the show. If you want to take screenshots or run fraps, track the flight with pressing CTR+R instead of pressing FLY so that you can do this after the show. Our server track will also be provided after the show.
- Leave and join our Ventrilo only when neccecarily.


VAT “Berkuts” Server and Ventrilo2.3.0
For spectators it is required to join our Ventrilo first. The server password will be provided through our Ventrilo.
To increase capabilities, the VAT “Berkuts” DO NOT USE Ventrilo 3.0.1 but Ventrilo 2.3.0!
If you have the newest Ventrilo3.0.1, there is no need to uninstall because you can easily run both copies next to each other.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ventrilo 3.0.1 with 2.3.0 inserted
- Install Ventrilo 3.0.1 (download)
- Place Ventrilo2.3.0.exe in the Ventrilo3.0.1 folder (Ventrilo2.3.0.rar)
Now you can launch both versions of Ventrilo. Create shortcuts on your desktop or start menu for easy switching.

If the first variant is not working for you, try this:

Ventrilo 3.0.1 & 2.3.0 installed both
- Install Ventrilo 3.0.1 (download)
- Rename Ventrilo 3.0.1 folder to whatever.
- Uninstall Ventrilo 3.0.1.
- Install 2.3.0 (download)
Now you can launch both versions of Ventrilo. Create shortcuts on your desktop or start menu for easy switching.

After 1st & 2nd show:

Great shows guys!!! Too bad Spider lagged in the first show...

Smooth, good looking formations and the "heart in the sky" (with the Solos flying head-on initially) was well executed! One of my favorites.

Also like the takeoffs a lot with the 360 + Solo loop, but it would have been even cooler if the Solos finished the loop closer behind the Diamond.

Also, noticed some of the groundtracks were L/R of show center between the two shows and the opposing passes usually took place right of show center.

Props for doing two 6-ship rolls, one to the right and one to the left. That is impressive!!!

I also like the two 3-ship formations coming head-on at the end of the show, but expected a nice breakaway... like the Red Arrows or Snowbirds "lag back cross", so the fly-by with only flares wasn't as cool. I had my expectations too high on that one!

Great maneuvers, a little off center sometimes, smooth but a little slow is my feeling.

The only real negative is some of the turnarounds are slow and take long, but remember I'm critical of this since the way we fly (as VTB) we count every second it takes between passes and this year we're faster than we've ever been before. You guys still showed good poise, beautiful formations and a great show! Love the Berkuts skins too...

Just speed up the turnarounds, rejoins and fix some of the off center passes - OK! (*wink wink*) Having said that, YOU GUYS ROCKED!!! THANKS FOR SOME BEAUTIFUL FLYING!!!

Thank you for watching the show and the sharp comments LawnDart!
It is good to hear some negative points and not only positive.

Though I still want to note what this show purpose is:

In preparation of the Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams and as an official announcement of our new Virtual Aerobatic Team, we would like to present the VAT “Berkuts” with a live display.

We are only half the way of what you can expect at VFAT2008
