Hi guys,

Looking forward to seeying you all again in this year's event.
My motion sim is still in one piece, so it should be able to endure another FSWeekend

For your information:
FSweekend will hold several presentations this year, some in English, some in Dutch.

Some highlights:
Saturday:
Van 11 tot 12 uur Geert Rolf English
Rebuilding a real Flight Simulator, an overview of 3 years work at the Norwegian DC-10.
Illustrated by video, the talk will take you through the work done to bring a 1977 built Link Miles DC-10 Simulator back to life. The story ends with last years project: the link with MS Flight Simulator for cockpit view only.

Sunday:
Van 15 tot 16 uur Austin Meyers English
New X-plane 10
Austin en Aerosoft will show latest version X-Plane 10. More than just an upgrade, as it contains lots of new technology. X-plane will take on the competion wih Microsoft Flight Simulator.

(these presentations will be held in the back of the old Schiphol building)

Thanks for the information Roland. Will be nice to see you and your sim again, after all I'm sure both have changed a bit since 2008

By the way, could one of you locals help out in this regard: The wife and I will be spending a few days in Amsterdam before moving over to Lelystad. I am going to bring my iPad but I don't want to make my Turkish cellular operator rich yet again with my data access. Is it possible to get a prepaid cellular data card to use while in Holland?

Thanks!

Is it possible to get a prepaid cellular data card to use while in Holland?

Hi Efe,
Yes you can. KPN for instance sells Mobile Internet Prepaid Sim Only
For KPN shops in Amsterdam look here: http://www.openingstijden.nl/KPN+Winkel/Amsterdam/. ("Winkel" is Dutch for Shop).

Have not checked that, but I would think that Vodafone and T-Mobile (the other Mobile Operators in Holland) also offer this kind of Services.

regards,
Nico Kaan

Hi Efe,

Was there a specific meet planned for the people on the list? If so, please add me to the list (time permitting, normally my stand is pretty busy)

Please note that this year, the show will be open until 18:00 on Saturday.

[Efe Cem Elci]

Nothing specific Roland. Perhaps a drink (or more?) at the Airport Cafe or another location. I think its best to leave that to the regulars, so whatever you guys deem appropriate.
