#

Hoping to finally see that korry pen in action @abstract yarrow; I won’t give it to you again 🤣

#

Since we moved the conversation here, @flint vine in case you didn't see.
#fsweekend-2024 message
Let me know if that would work for you

flint vine
#

Definitely thanks for the offer, first of all. It is definitely a bit away from any place I might be spending thursday/friday night at, so I hope you're not taking off early in the morning, but definitely beats crossing almost an entire country alone. Already did Rotterdam/Utrecht/Duisburg by train last november.

blazing cedar
#

if you are coming from Duisburg, going by train won't take longer than coming to Enschede and then from here by car 😆 Basically the same time or even quicker.
I was initially planning to arrive in Lely around 12:00 but I can adapt. I won't be in rush so I leave any time. 🙂

flint vine
#

Duisburg was my transfer in Germany. But yeah, based in Paderborn with family in Essen, so quite a ways south from Enschede.

blazing cedar
#

aah yeah

flint vine
#

Interestingly if I start from Paderborn Google tells me to transfer in Hengelo

blazing cedar
#

hmm I thought that this would go more south.
If it goes through Hengelo then there must be also some train going through Munster with transfer in Enschede

#

ooh now I checked map where Paderborn is located. Hengelo or Enschede makes sense now

flint vine
blazing cedar
#

Sure. If it will be later or earlier, I'm fine with that

flint vine
#

From Essen I could get to Enschede at 10 or 11. But direct train to Lelystad is also more viable from there, so I'll need to see about that

ah, the smell of A1 in the morning.... oh sorry, the smell of a fresh thread in the morning...

#

I completely forgot about this

#

But now I’m disappointed that it hasn’t been done…

blazing cedar
#

korry pen?

mossy halo
#

Yeahh

#

That was genuinely a good idea

blazing cedar
#

what's that?

abstract yarrow
abstract yarrow
# blazing cedar what's that?

so OEM Korrys have exactly the same strength, depth and click of a popular style of clicky top pens - so the idea is we make a 3D printed oem size korry that when you click the pen comes out the bottom and as a bonus, the blue ‘ON’ light comes on

#

OK I'm going to take a look at this later tonight

#

I'm guessing the biggest issue is going to be where to squeeze in the LR44

abstract yarrow
dull thicket
#

I might be complicating it though

abstract yarrow
#

I think simple is key

#

but a smd small slide switch on the edge of the pcb for the avail wouldn’t be too hard I guess

blazing cedar
#

Maybe you should open a thread to discuss it further? 😉

If someone needs help at FS this year, I can help btw. I'm from nearby Amsterdam, so close to Lelystad 🙂

#

thanks for the offer!

#

any workshops this year?

blazing cedar
#

Yes, @dull thicket we will run those. Same content we did last year.

dull thicket
#

from the 2024 edition notes:

  • tablecloths to cover the tables
  • internet connection solution (independent from venue?) to manage workshop registration
dull thicket
#

@blazing cedar is it possible to place an order to pick up at FSWeekend?

blazing cedar
#

@vivid fog that question is for you

vivid fog
dull thicket
#

oh the workshops are up! I'm guessing this note in the workshop page goes for in-event order pickups too: " IMPORTANT: Choose Pickup as FREE Shipping Option if You're Only Attending the Event ⚠️"

vivid fog
#

yeah

#

just order soon so that it makes it to lelystad

dull thicket
#

The advanced workshops will be at 1500 both days right? it seems Sunday 1520 you guys are also scheduled for a talk in the theater

flint vine
#

We have enough people to cover a workshop, the booth and the talk in parallel.

dull thicket
flint vine
#

Understandable. There are some other reasons why the time slot is less than ideal and we are looking into that, but it is not something we could not get to work in a pinch.

dull thicket
#

Registered for the advanced workshop this time around and ordered some items. I see the time has changed for the MF theater session 🥳

sweet forum
#

I will be there on Saturday; you guys need any assistance on the workshops? (I’m a native Dutch speaker)

blazing cedar
#

Hey @sweet forum
We already have assembled and registered the team, a pretty strong this time I would say.
Thanks for the offer, we really appreciate it. 🙂
Please, come and hang out with us.
You are also welcome to join us for a drink Saturday evening in Van Der Valk hotel.

wicked granite
#

and if you want to help on the workshops, drop by and lets see, it will be fun to see you again anyway 🙂

#

my dutch is a lot worse, I might say 😬

wicked granite
#

like @blazing cedar said we do have planned enough people to man the booth and run the workshops, but its a community, so please come and hang out of course. Mobiflight would not be the same without all you people!

#

I am just parroting basically what was already said, been a bit busy week at work 😛

#

I need me a new sticker, the old one has faded from the sun 😄

My car is fully fueled and ready to drive. I´m looking forward to see you guys. I will try to make it in time to Mc Donalds parking place, but let see how the traffic will be.

blazing cedar
#

Have a safe journey

#

and remember, Dutch highways aren't German Autobahns. We DO have speed limits 🤣

solid swallow
blazing cedar
#

indeed 😄

wicked granite
#

do you have data so that discord works there?

vivid fog
#

just a reminder: inside the museum there is practically no reception because the metal dome keeps all signals out.

wicked granite
#

true, and also because there are everyones cellphones blasting inside the faraday cage

#

which reminds me, I need to update msfs tonight on the laptop 🙂

mossy halo
#

It would be such a asobo and Microsoft move to push a big update saterday morning

vivid fog

I demand pictures!

second workshop, and adhoc "oh crap the hdmi is 1.5 meters"

blazing cedar
#

Fantastic event!

#

And Mobiflight ROCKS!

blazing cedar
#

I will repeat myself: Fantastic event!

It was a day full of joy..
It was great to meet everyone visiting our booth today,. Both, new faces and folks we have already seen knew before.
Workshops were great. We even had a couple of very young people, girl and boy. Fantastic feeling to see this generation being in this hobby.
More photos will follow.

#

Hi guys, remember how the LED would not work on the beginner workshop today?

#

I just tried at home and one of mine does the same... missed solder on one of the sockets.

#

if it's the same on the one that was used for the demo, perhaps it's a common manufacturing issue, maybe you should look into that

vivid fog
#

I soldered everything by hand. So I am the manufacturing issue 😇

#

Do you have a chance to solder it?

mellow perch
#

ah I thought maybe it came populated with the PCB itself

#

yeah mine I'll fix easily, no worries about that.

#

but in the 747 there was a bit of a worry if the PCBs aren't bad themselves

vivid fog
#

i must have missed it even though i inspected all of them. I am happy you can take care of it

mellow perch
#

otherwise it works, I am already on the lookout for parts and breadboard for what I want to follow with, and a makerspace to 3D print eventually 🙂
