VRA has moved to new Ventrilo/Phantom server

[RED3|madmax]

Hi Folks,

First off the VRA has moved to a new Ventrilo server with better sound quality.

Hostname: uk.ventriloservers.biz
Port: 3848

I've changed the mission file on the VRA Phantom server so you can select any of these planes below:

10 x Su-27
9 x Mig-29
1 x Su-33
3 x Su-30
1 x c-130
8 x f15
8 x a10

New phantom with looping tracks coming soon!

Take care & merry xmas!

Hi folks,


I've had a lazy day just doing scripts.

Just finished testing it and the phantom is running with looping tracks now!!!!!!

First track is the touch and go track which was on last week for a bit.

Second track is the show track which has been running for the past few months.

After the second track ends it goes back to the first.

The second show track will be changing once we have decided on the new 2009 show.

Still a bit of tweaking to do it but it's working. Should be up and running live tonight or on Sunday.

You can fly any plane in this phantom just scroll down when selecting the plane number. The first 10 are all su-27's. If flying the su-27 best downloading the BAE hawk mod which is made by Shaggy and Crow.

P.S.

I don't mind sharing my work so here's the scripts for the new phantom with looping tracks. Remember these scripts are for autohotkey program (it's a free program just type autohotkey in google).
This script below is totally automated, I've got the script in the startup of windows so all I have to do is switch the computer on and it starts by connecting to ventrilo and putting my current IP in the comments then goes on from there.This is still work in progress and will ony get better.
This script is custom to my setup but it gives you a rough idea.

So, if anybody out there is wondering how to get a phantom to loop tracks here it is -
