Will the VTB be using the new 1.12 patch or should we stay with the 1.11?

Since this is for tryouts I would say no. I think its a sincere gesture but at the same time we dont want anyone trying out worrying about a movie or anything else in any regard. Lets let those who tryout have that one thing to focus on and we shall see from there. I appreciate your interest and respect for asking first but for now its not in the best interest of the Virtual Thunderbirds and especially those who wish to tryout who have enough pressure as it is.

Flying the Friendly,

2nd what Striker just said about tryouts and anything representative of our mod in movies, screenshots or similar, we reserve the right to present to the public. Besides, making a movie of tryouts would be utterly boring...

JonnyB, we certainly appreciate your interest and desire to make a movie, but the old adage, "if we let one person do it, then we have to let everyone do it" applies. And as #5 and #6 have already mentioned, anything recorded of the Virtual Thunderbirds is proprietary and we reserve the right to record and produce any "movie, track or clip" of our practices, shows or tyrouts. In addition, we want the tryout process to be "1v1" with as little distraction as possible. I would recommend that if you want a track to make a personal clip from then set up a tyout for yourself. Then you could have all of the footage you needed. You would be most welcome to do that. Now having said that we are planning more ways to get you guys, the "public" to fly with us in an "open house" type format, independant of tryouts to just come out and fly with us for fun. . .no strings attached. More to come on that in the near future.

Bon
