[IVAO-NO NOTAM] Norway Division What-If Event

[Frank Petersen]

Greetings Norwegian Members!

 

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Eric Olson and I am the Events Team Leader for IVAO. As you may know, the Events Department is responsible for events which occur on the network such as the "Real Flights Events" and "Crowded Skies."

 

This year, we would like to try a new type of event called "What If..."

events. These events are aimed at areas without an active division, however, seem to have enough members to create one. Specifically, we are trying to create enough interest in the area so that more members will join, and someone will have the ratings to take over as the Director.

 

As you may have read in the forum, I would like to start this event with Norway. From a quick glance at the members list, it appears as though Norway has enough members to form a division and with a few more, I think that the Norwegian division could be on its way to another great addition to the IVAO community.

 

For starters, I am sending this e-mail to all Norwegian members of IVAO registered in the Norway division. If you are interested in this event and would be willing to help with planning including controlling ATC on the day of the event (sometime in March), please respond to me directly and I will start a mailing list with everyone so we can get things started.

 

I hope to hear from all of you soon so that we can start planning what hopefully will be the first steps to creating your own Norway Division.

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric Olson

IVAO Events Department

I recieved this mail, but I'm so happy with VATSIM that I won't even consider changing... sorry

[Ivar Skaugstad]

Is this post on a two years delay?

 

I'm sorry, but I was convinced that IVAO had gone under ground. The few times I've loaded the IVAO servers to see if there is "anyone out there" the responce has been 0 pilots and 0 controllers.

 

Am I on the wrong servers, or are IVAO planning to start a new growth?

[Karl Mathias Moberg]

Eh.. Til dere begge, han har bare kopiert en NOTAM som ble sendt til alle som noensinne er registrert i Norge på IVAO, så tviler på at engelsk er nødvendig.

 

Ivar, IVAO er fortsatt veldig aktivt, somregel med flere piloter enn VATSIM. For ett eller to årsiden, skifta de servere slik at ServInfo ikke lengre viser piloter og ATC som er online på IVAO!

Hehe, bare fulgte strømmen jeg.. :whistle:

 

Aha, jeg trodde virkelig at IVAO var helt dødt jeg, godt å se at det også finnes alternativ til de som ikke ønsker, eller har kjennskap til VATSIM.

[Erik Karlsen]

Hva er forskjellen mellom de 2?

[Karl Mathias Moberg]

Ikke stort. Litt annerledes software osv.. Hvis du flyr i Norge eller i USA definitivt gå for VATSIM.. Hvis du flyr mye på Amsterdam, så burde du KANSJE vurdere IVAO.

 

Personlig mener jeg at IVAO er litt mer userriøst. Du kan sitte ATC i norge uten noen form for trening, mens på VATSIM må du igjennom en hel haug med trening for å få sitte ATC..

Tja, IVAO har jo anstendig programvare for FSX i det minste, og alle land som har en divisjon (de fleste i Europa utenom Norge?) krever trening. ATC-programmet er prikk likt det de bruker i f.eks Amsterdam, og er meget bra!

 

IVAO er forresten også splittet, etter uenighet med sjefen:

Som Geir sier, så er problemet for Norge på IVAO at det ikke er noen divisjon her. Akkruat NÅ er det 13fly i Norge på IVAO, og 3 ATCer faktisk. ENAL_TWR ENAL_APP og ENOS_CTR...
