ruprecht Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Hi, hope the mods don't mind me doing this, but it's directly related to DCS and flight simming in general. The VAAF is demonstrating DCS:Black Shark for 2 days this weekend (10-11 October) at the Oz Flight Sim Expo in Brisbane Australia. We'll have a bunch of Akers-Barnes cockpits set up including my own and will be running four formal demos, plus constant ad-hoc demos over the weekend. If you're in or close to Brisbane, come and say hi. There will be lots of flight sim vendors and gear for sale, so it's definitely worth the $10 admission. It only happens every 2 years! Also, my own pet project pitbuildermag.com is launching this weekend at the Expo. It's a weekly/fortnightly free online magazine dedicated to flight/racing/mech cockpit building. From 0100Z on Saturday, the first three interviews will be live on the site. Hope you enjoy them.

ruprecht Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 There's still enough time to make it :) I'll be putting together some video coverage of the expo for PitBuilderMag, so hopefully all those who aren't able to make it will still at least get to see what went on.

ruprecht Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Another great day today. If you get to go to something like this, especially as a live exhibitor, I recommend it highly. That's the second time I've done it now, and running a mission live in front of a crowd is just awesome.
