Wow, now that's the way to bring out participants in the summer. Those were crowded skies.

Scattered clouds only 1500 above the peaks, fires everywhere, smoke, valleys, climb outs. What a hoot.

And what a professional bunch. Not one close call.

Greatest multi I've flown in a long time. Many thanks gentlemen.

Glad to hear it went well.

Now, if only I could have made it home to attend...

How do you do a 'firefighting multi?'

Wow, I was ticked that I missed the multi due to work, but was glad to see that the west coasters were still at it. As Ben said, fire everywhere. This was fun. Keith can you make the inferno rage larger?

Here are some shots.

I love the paper airplane going out fire fighting. Can someone say "more fuel". :laugh:

I was in the DH6 t'watter that flys out of Algonquin park. It has been awhile since I have been in a freeware a/c but it was fun.

Devon, the concept is easy. Fires rage, you dump chemicals on them.

Yes, but at a significant cost, Frame-rate wise. I find it easier to include more, smaller, fires then one huge one that would bring all but the highest-end computers to their knees. Especially in a multiplayer environment.

It's a bit of a trade-off, I'm afraid.

Craig was out??

Wow .... last time I flew with Craig was the original Kai Tak Heart Attack, with the Cos bros.

I've got to get the wife to stop feeding me Wednesday nights, I miss too much.

Hi Everyone,

Great multi. I really enjoyed it. Nice pics Bill.
As far as the paper plane goes; I was flying a CL215, and had
set up squawkbox with that plane. I must have a problem,
because I think Dale said I looked like a 767, and Bill saw me as paper. Anyone have any ideas what is wrong. BTW, I just flew a groupflight as a CVA Caravan Anphib, and showed up as a C172.

Thanks guys,
Patrick CVA2002
