The weekend's server is not permanent I'm afraid, it used close about 600 megs of traffic up and down (FS and TS) and if left on all the time would mean that:
1. I would go over 10 gigs and pay more for my internet (I'm on Telstra's PDQ at $11.95 per 10 gigs, have full speed upand downstream - so it's not an unlimited plan)
2. The internet use at home would be disavantaged (traffic could affect other applications and gaming etc)
My feeling is that the best compromise would be to use Inspire for Flight Sim and perhaps see whether Robin's Teamspeak server would be available for comms.
I was told by the guys at
Kiwi Air (who it also use Inspire for fly-ins) that there would not appear to be any issues with clashing fly-ins as they often use it on Mondays NZT, however they said we could each let one another know when we had something special on and go from there.
My two cents
