I've been intrigued by this whole concept from the start - unable to participate though as FSX is a dog on my set up

Is this something that has only become possible since FSX or was it possible with FS2004?

Interested also to hear what happened to peoples frame rates with all those aircraft flying around - although I see that the airshow was flown in what appears to be an autogen-free featureless desert

Looks like it was great fun though, and well done to all the people who made it happen.

Looking forward to seeing videos

FPS were great but yes no Autogen

[JonARNZ]

We actually recommended no Autogen recognising those with mid to low level machines would struggle. This was mainly dude to the non FSX aircraft being used, some of them non GMAX, so performance was always going to take a hit. The focus was always the displays, so autogen from that perspective became a mute point.

Thanks ever so much for sharing the screenshots, it looks like everything went to plan. You can really feel the vibe and atmosphere of an airshow through these pics.

I really like the heavy formation (A321, 747, C17) shot, reminds me a bit of the Whenupai C-130, B757, PC-3 formation

[Ian Warren]

I thought Avalon was a Great Airshow ...

Awesome screenshot set Ian, brilliant mate, You and the Harvard team really pulled it off on the night!

[Timmo]

did anyone take any screenshots of the Extra 300 display??

[scon]

Nik will have the video

[creator2003]

how many people turned up to forum field out of intrest ??

[JonARNZ]

I think it was around 18 or so online, others may be able to confirm or correct this, I was rather busy most of the evening to keep a head count.

I am aware we had people sitting with others at their computer, such as Robin Corn was with Ian for a portion of the show.

[creator2003]

Oh nice one yes that is the hardest thing at the end of any good program getting ppls to turn up too it, 18 or so is a great number , i bet the older boys had there tea and biscuts out just kidding ,
great shots of the display and the movie wasent half bad ether
