FlightNight - Saturday 9th September 2023 - Plymouth to Valley
Departure will be from EGHD (Plymouth) at 8pm local time (2000 BST). We will overfly various places in the south-west of England, stopping at EGVA (RAF Fairford) for the break/refuel. Maybe a little bit of aerobatics over some places along the way.
The second half will be a chase over peaks in Wales such as Pen y Fan, Cadair Idris, Aran Fawddwy, Yr Wyddfa, Glyder Fawr and Carned Llewelyn. Our final destination will be EGOV (RAF Valley).
You should choose an aircraft from the FGUK hangar that is comfortable between 200 and 300 KIAS. Comms will be on Teamspeak as always.

A Gnat for thee so a Gnat for me....Thank You, Warts!

I'll take the Yellow one - should be easier to spot. You get to choose next. It's probably a bit late for this weekend but it would be nice to have MP smoke one day.
When I have a brain I'll add it for you. By the way, the file you linked to has the aircraft inside another folder and my launcher couldn't find it. Was that on purpose?
I'll fly the Hot-Shots Liv.

It was to distinguish it from other Gnat_T1 versions that I have in my GitHub Desktop folder. Alex could have just uploaded the Gnat_T1 folder - but he didn't. So it is what it is unless/until someone changes it. Maybe not such an immediate problem; If someone without a brain can figure it out . . . . :o)
Hot-Shots - good choice!
LOL....

One thing I’d like to point out about the Gnat is keep an eye on your fuel, if the fuel drains completely, the sound will die. If you refill, the thrust will return but the sounds won’t. (This is an issue with the sounds and the autostart system, haven’t figured out what caused it).

I'll be at EGHD at 7:30 if anyone running the latest nightly build wants to experiment a bit with MP. Can also stay a little late to the same end.

I was only able to join for a little bit right at the end but it was my first time joining a Flightnight and it was fun :)
