@SquawkModeCharlie I will be the first to admit that I too was disappointed that we missed our June beta deadline, but after working closely with our developers to bring us to Alpha, I now fully understand the complexities that go into developing a flight simulation network. It is a very large challenge to say the least. We are generally not concerned with marketing or gaining a significant amount of new members at this point, because well, whats the point? We don't need to raise capital and we don't feel that putting our name out there anymore than we already have will have a significant impact. Our best marketing strategy right now is word of mouth from the people that read this forum. I can confidently say the correct course of action is to put 100% of our effort into developing an amazing product rather than an amazing marketing strategy. You are absolutely correct though, a large marketing campaign is necessary at some point and will most likely occur around the open beta stage when having a significant amount of members makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your insight!

Haha that is ambitious @aeroniemi but not a bad Easter egg idea. We love Easter eggs btw, you can expect a lot of them on POSCON ?

Yes, we are having some issues with our signup process. We are switching to a different SSO. We hope to have the whole thing fixed a few days, but our web developer is in Russia following the World Cup. He will be getting to it soon! Thanks for your patience.

Recording of radar events AND voice are planned features.

Hi, ya sorry for not getting better videos from Expo! We were hoping that more streamers would have passed by and created some video content for us, but they didn't ? Anyway, we hope to eventually post some more videos on our Facebook page (and here) in the coming weeks! @morkunas Btw, that video is absolutely amazing! I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Why not? I like surprises, don't you? ? We are not preparing divisions yet, so this does not matter yet. Alright, alright. Since you are very persistent, I will give you some beta information. Here is the tentative schedule: - From now until mid-September: Alpha - From mid-September until the end of December: Closed Beta - From January 2019 until to a time yet to be determined: Open Beta

Younghoon, They do not respond because they are busy working on the projects we have tasked them to do. Their lack of communication is not a bad thing, I can assure you of that.

Supervisors will not fill the role they did on previous networks; they will not be policemen. Our servers will take care of most, if not all of the policy violations. We have a new role for the supervisors... that of educating pilots and ATC about their mistakes. I will describe more about this role at a later date.

Looks like you are gonna have to find something better then because everyone will be taking a pilot evaluation prior to connecting. This evaluation is a short quiz to assess your knowledge. If you have thousands of hours on other networks, then you should have absolutely no problems with the eval and there will be no additional work required prior to connecting. However, there are many people that have thousands of hours on other networks and still lack basic knowledge. For those individuals, we will require and provide additional training prior to connecting.

Thanks everyone who applied! This topic is now locked.

Hello and welcome to everyone interested in the Venezuela Division of POSCON! I have created this forum to explore the possibility of releasing a division for Venezuela during beta testing. The only way we will release with this division is if enough people show interest, so get all your friends to join this club and make sure that they stay active! If there is enough interest and discussion, we will devote our resources to creating the necessary infrastructure. We are going to need your help though with sector file construction and writing procedures! If you have any interest in helping us write this material, please email [email protected] ¡Hola y bienvenidos a todos los interesados en la División Venezuela de POSCON! Creé este foro para explorar la posibilidad de lanzar una división para Venezuela durante las pruebas beta. La única forma en que vamos a lanzar esta división es si hay suficiente gente interesada, ¡así que haz que todos tus amigos se unan a este club y asegúrate de que se mantengan activos! Si hay suficiente interés y debate, dedicaremos nuestros recursos a crear la infraestructura necesaria. Sin embargo, vamos a necesitar su ayuda con la construcción de archivos del sector y los procedimientos de escritura. Si tiene interés en ayudarnos a escribir este material, envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected]

@caopeng Yes, here is the following official update to members prior to FSExpo 2018: Thank you very much for your continued interest and support for POSCON. Our current plan for FSExpo is as follows: We will have a double booth that we are sharing with our recent partner ProjectFLY. At the booth, we will be conducting a demo of our server, ATC client, pilot clients (P3D and X-Plane), voice client, and parts of our website. The booth will have a desktop PC set up with both P3D and X-Plane installed on it. Conference attendees will be free to use the pilot station to demo our network in real-time. There will be approximately 20 other live pilots who also will be flying on the network from remote locations during the duration of the conference. There will be at least one to two ATC connected via laptops at the booth that will be demoing our ATC client and providing ATC services to all participants. We will be conducting at least one live stream during the event so that people who are not in attendance can view our software, ask questions, and see what is going on at the booth. Stay tuned for a link to that Twitch stream. D'Andre Newman of AirDailyX will be live streaming the entire event, including other booths, from the following account: https://www.twitch.tv/adxlive Our beta release is still a few months out. We decided at this point we are not prepared to release the beta version the the public. Thank you very much for your patience on this matter. Sincerely, The POSCON Team

IVAO members will also be extended this rating transfer courtesy.

@superflyman90 The link doesn't work.

These requirements are ONLY for the FSExpo event and should not be indicative of the requirements that will be necessary to participate in the Open Beta or the Final Release version of the POSCON Network. The time has come to recruit remote pilots to participate in POSCON's FSExpo demo! We are seeking around 20-30 volunteer pilots to provide constant traffic on our FlightNet server for the duration of the FSExpo event! For the conference, we are only planning on staffing New York Center and possibly a few surrounding ARTCCs, so those who are interested must be very familiar with New York procedures. Those who are recruited to participate in POSCON's demo will be given access to the Pilot Client software and a means by which to connect to our state-of-the-art server. The following requirements MUST be met in order to be considered for this event: You must be available and able to fly for at least 50% of the event duration. The event times are as follows: Saturday, June 9th, 2018 - 8 AM to 7 PM Pacific Time Sunday, June 10th, 2018 - 9 AM to 3 PM Pacific Time You must be extremely familiar with FAA procedures, specifically flying in the New York area. Newbies pilots are NOT allowed to participate, sorry. You must be English proficient. You should (not must) have a kick ass flight sim machine because of the FPS over NYC. The following are preferred baselines: GTX 1070 (or equivalent) or better i5 7600K (or equivalent) or better You must use a real world weather engine, specifically for winds aloft. If you fly an airliner on the server (which is not required by the way), it must be a payware add-on or an add-on that has a fully functional FMC. Unless of course you decide to go old school with a B727 or something! Navigation data must be up-to-date. You must, at all times, use real world charts. If required (it probably won't be), you must be willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement since we are still very much in an Alpha state. Please indicate your interest by responding to this thread with: Your availability for the event. Your computer specs, including simulator type. The general region of the world you reside in (to gauge possible latency issues). The different add-on aircraft you plan to fly during the event. PM me the response to the following question: If you were cleared via the LaGuardia 5 Departure, Whitestone Climb out of KLGA, when can you accelerate above 210 knots? These requirements are ONLY for the FSExpo event and should not be indicative of the requirements that will be necessary to participate in the Open Beta or the Final Release version of the POSCON Network.

The Divisions will be grouped together by their differences from ICAO. We are taking this route in order to ensure consistent training throughout the network. In other words if Division A has virtually the same differences from ICAO as Division B, then they will be grouped together into the same region. The staff for said regions has not yet been determined and is again, not a high priority at this time.

Hi Theo, Please have those team members interested submit an application here and I will reach out to them:

@superflyman90 Hi thanks for your interest in POSCON and for offering to help. We definitely could use sector files but the website creation is not necessary. We will be building all the website infastructure necessary for the network in-house. If you have any interest in joining our web design team, feel free to submit an application!

I am pleased to report that we have tested formation flying on the cloud server and it works great! Stay tuned and we will have some demos in the next few days. @Axe
