PilotEdge will be offering a behind-the-scenes virtual tour of its TRACON and enroute facilities this evening, Oct 26 at 5pm PDT (8pm EDT, Sat 0000z).

The tour is open to PilotEdge members, trial members and the general public.

The presentation will be take place on the DigitalThemePark TeamSpeak3 server (ts3.digitalthemepark.com). Participants will need to download and install the TeamSpeak3 client

Once the TS3 client is installed, participants should join the DTP TS3 server where a staff member will great them, verify voice operation, and escort the participant to the appropriate channel for the tour.

A URL will be posted in the channel to allow participants to see the TRACON/enroute scope in real time.

Topics will include:
* brief overview of the various roles played by ATC in the National Airspace System
* RADAR scope orientation and brief airspace review
* observation of live traffic
* Question & Answer session

This marks the first of a series of PilotEdge workshops that will be hosted at DigitalThemePark. Future workshops will cover topics such as:
* software installation/configuration,
* VFR/IFR ATC communications
* VFR/IFR flight planning
* Detailed reviews of the flights in the PilotEdge Training Program

Keith, is it any chance to listen the recording and see video of the website at other time than mentioned in above post?

In other words, are there any means of getting to hear and see it other than live presentation?


Cheers, AJ

AJ, not really, this is a real-time webinar.

I know this was short notice...we'll do another one in a few months if there is enough demand for it.

FWIW - My mic is open locally and on PE, but DTP shows my mic muted and I can't un-mute it. Weird.

You were on the PE TS server. We are not planning on using that for the workshops. Per the previous announcement:
The presentation will be take place on the DigitalThemePark TeamSpeak3 server (ts3.digitalthemepark.com).

If you mean you were logged into more than one TS(ie numerous tabs in TS), then yes, that would be what you'd expect. Only one can be active at a time(without a specific mod/plugin that I'm aware of). In the icons along the top, you have various commands for muting and unmuting. When you want to activate a microphone in one of the tabs, simply click this icon.
