I don’t think
any of you are involved, but some VA pilots have been sharing registration keys
for commercial software with other pilots on the WestCoastATC TeamSpeak
servers. Violators have been warned and
any future occurrence will result in banishment from W.C.ATC.

Updates to the Hangar
New in the FS 2004 hanger in March, are Mike Stone’s SAAB 340B and
Grumman Goose for FS 2004.
Repaints have been provided by Rick Connolly bgan105. Check out Rick’s
web-site. He has some great
floatplane base scenery downloads.
J.L Stubb’s Grumman Goose panel from Aeroswine Research is also
available.

Our web-site
had 7,628 visits last month.
A record 2,129
hits for the series of screen shots that start with 50308_gaar038.
My favorite of
the group is:

I will post
that picture on the G.A.A.R. 2005 page.
My apologies
for slow page loading, or “page not found” errors in March. Our host has been dealing with DOS attacks
“Denial of Service” for much of the last two weeks. And one day there was a fiber optic cable
disruption in the connection to one of the internet backbones.
All of the
rosters have been combined. When you
click on the “Roster” link from your home division page, you are taken to the
combined roster, but pointed at the top of your divisions section. You can page up and down to see all of the
divisions.
There is also a
change in the flight report form. All
pilots are filing on one form now. The
messages that stated
”Don’t use this form unless you are a member of the Southern (or whichever)
Division” have been removed.
We will soon be
moving to an automated “real-time” system similar to the G.A.A.R system.
Don’t forget to
check out the forum and screen shot pages.
That’s all for
now,
Bill Von Sennet
