Recruiting Volunteer Pilots for FSExpo 2018

[Andrew Heath]

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:

1. 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
2. You must be extremely familiar with FAA procedures, specifically flying in the New York area. Newbies pilots are NOT allowed to participate, sorry.
3. You must be English proficient.
4. 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
5. You must use a real world weather engine, specifically for winds aloft.
6. 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!
7. Navigation data must be up-to-date.
8. You must, at all times, use real world charts.
9. 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:

1. Your availability for the event.
2. Your computer specs, including simulator type.
3. The general region of the world you reside in (to gauge possible latency issues).
4. The different add-on aircraft you plan to fly during the event.
5. 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.
