Another point worth noting is that I actually run two instances of Ventrilo on two different machines. On one instance of Ventrilo I do all of he DJ/narration work, the other instance of Ventrilo is for monitoring team comms and communicating with the team directly prior to the show and during the s...

That pretty well covers it at a high level, Boss, with one exception. The phantom that is used for the re-tran is actually dragged and dropped into the live "team comms" channel. IIRC, Ventrilo sees your phantom as being you and will not allow you to mute/unmute it because you would be muting yourse...

Interestingly, I broke one of the JB-weld joints today by pushing the joint all the way to its range of motion. I was concerned that would happen, I'll just have to wait to drill holes in the base for the lower spring joints. Arc, Mig, Tig but never "JB" weld if you want anything to be reliable. If...

I'm looking forward to watching the show. Hoping my new Gateway netbook will be able to handle the streaming video!

@LD, just confiscate a laptop from one of your PAX, or have maintenance rig up a 110 volt outlet in the cockpit for you! ;)

WOOHOO!! I had the same issue when I started running a phantom server two or three years ago. Server settings... As I said to LD earlier, I take the server settings for granted so much these days that I forget to mention them when troubleshooting issues but the "unlimited fuel" issue will get you EV...

You might try re-tracing the track, if you haven't already. It's possible that you got a bad trace for some reason. Make sure when tracing that you don't have any extraneous processes/programs running and that you don't interact at all with the trace machine once tracing begins.

Yes, I didn't mean to derail the topic. I'm glad to see that narration has become a staple of all of the major teams. As a team narrator it makes me proud. Good luck to the Virtual Horsemen in their search. :wink:
