njboy13 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 This is just an idea, in fact I have barely made any plans about it, but First, I want you to answer a few questions.-Does anybody here play Microsoft Flight Simulator? It can be FSX or FS2004 (FS9)-Does anybody have an internet connection and be able to fly online?Now the final question.....Would any Flight Simulator users be interested in a Rescue type group?-My idea is to have a Rescue group. We will do rescue operations including police chases on highways, wildfire extinguishing, Helicopter Medevac and more. -I've decided if I go through with this idea, it will be on the VATSIM Network, you can make a free account and fly online with Air Traffic Control.-I have spent hours looking over policies, rules, and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedure) and they will allow Rescue operations like the one I listed.What do you think? Would you be interested? Would you join? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ami89E1234 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 but there are no rescue vehicles in FSX and it would be boring as hell just to do some text or so based thing.only thing even close to being a pilotable emergency vehicle is a Heli that says "Polizei" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njboy13 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 What I mean is having all air operations. You can download freeware planes from websites like Fligthsim.com and Avsim.com. We can get Coast Guard helicopters, a fire plane, all of that can either be purchased or downloaded.

njboy13 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Okay, you can start by getting a Vatsim ID here:http://www.vatsim.net/But we will not be able to do real car chases, only aviation is allowed on the Vatsim Servers. I'll start workign more in-depth on this. and yes, it will all be emergency related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab16 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I am now part of VATSIM- need to choose a division, i assume i wait for you to create one then??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njboy13 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I am now part of VATSIM- need to choose a division, i assume i wait for you to create one then???I don't need to create one, the divisions are just what part of the world you are in. Example:If you're in the New York area, you join ZNYIf you are in the Los Angeles Area, you choose ZLASo just click on what country you're in, then on the list of airports or ARTCCs, just choose whichever city/major airport is closest to you.

Ami89E1234 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 eheeehee thats like the nerdiest thing ive ever seen. what are they gonna do? have a mock up of 9/11 and simulate the only plane that flew that day (a flight from San Diego to Miami delivering some desperately needed antivenom)? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njboy13 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 It is against the VATSIM rules to simulate hi-jacking and any other terrorism. We will just do everyday emergencies. like Medevac, fire patrol in high-fire risk areas, after there is a real-world hurricane In or near North America, we may do virtual support missions, bringing virtual supplies down there. This is what I have for the fleet so far:-Bell 206 Jet ranger (included in FSX/FS9)- Police, EMS-Cessna 172 (Included in FSX/FS9)- Fire-Learjet 45 (Included in FSX/FS9)- EMS-Lockheed C-130 (Download) Fire, SupportMore info will be added soon.

njboy13 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Okay, I'm having trouble thinking of a name for this, so you guys throw in suggestions, and to be fair I'll make a poll.You can put in your suggestions until December 20, 2009.Here are some tips when thinking of it:-Emergency Operations-Mainly in North America (United States, Canada, some of Mexico) (Once we get more members, maybe we will expand to Europe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
