The other day was surfing along Virtual Airlines and got on Virtual Flybe.
Got highly impressed with the design (finally another rare VA with a good planned design), and the public content was just the minimum necessary to understand what Flybe proposes to the potential pilots.
Flybe doesn't have a partnership with IVAO, unfortunately. Well, for me I just had to re-sign up on VATSIM and sign on Flybe then!
The registration process is very pro, because we need to run a test to get approved. I know other VA's that do this also, but this test was well thought. Questions about various topics, not only about Air Law and Metar's :)
In conclusion, FlyBE is very good, and I suggest you take a look at it and if you like it, sign in!
For the last, just to inform that I don't have any connection toFlyBE staff. This is just a "pilot's" evaluation :)

Ivao Crowded Skies 2010 - Flop!
A flop, unfortunately :(
IVAO didn't broke the record of 1972 simultaneous connections. I think it was close, very close, about 70 connections to break the record...
More important is to start asking ourselves what happened for the record not to be broken. I think that this is the first time that it wasn't.
Let me throw some explanations and questions:
1. Flight Simulator discontinuation.
Well, it's a chance. Normally newbie flightsimmers don't see with good eyes investing on a flight simulator software that will not "suffer" any more upgrades. But, also, do they really know that ?
One thing is sure: Some of the FS flightsimmers are passing to X-Plane. A more potential flightsim software that doesn't suffer from new versions.
2. IVAO loosing pilots.
Another reason in the spot... We are all sure that there isn't much innovation on IVAO nowadays. The same tour versions, every year, the same ideas, the same software and ... the same guys flying. I really think IVAO needs to start changing something, maybe starting by ... their site!
3. Event not well promoted on pilots and Divisions
Can be a reason. I didn't receive an email about it, did you? And what about the Divisions? They also didn't send any email to their pilots!
I hope this time IVAO BoG can have some seconds on their agenda to think about this... My personal reason: ALL of them!
If nothing is made, I bet my Asus M5VM that next year we will still not break the record.

Back again!
Hi mates!
I'm back, after more than one year!
Expect more news soon, with flammable topics! :)
