Press Release #1: Announcing Partnership between Thrustmaster and the Virtual Thunderbirds On behalf of the entire Virtual Thunderbird organization I would like to announce a groundbreaking partnership between the
Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC and
Guillemot Inc., makers of the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar F-16 flight stick. We are honored to be the first virtual demonstration team to endorse a top of the line product such as the HOTAS Cougar. Each of our pilots uses the HOTAS Cougar, and all Cougar sticks sold in Comp USA stores will feature a sticker of our Diamond formation on the box that states "Used exclusively by the Virtual Thunderbirds".
In addition to endorsing what we feel is the best stick available, this partnership will allow the Virtual Thunderbirds to reach the lofty goals we have set for ourselves such as hosting our own live airshows, continued production of the finest airshow demonstration movies in the industry and the possibility of appearing "live" at certain trade and airshow venues.
We appreciate the interest all of you have shown over the past year. This partnership demonstrates to the entire aviation community that we are serious about maintaining the level of Virtual Thunderbird perfection that we strive for each and every day.
Press Release #2: Announcing the Virtual Thunderbirds Public Ventrilo Server Instead of keeping to ourselves completely, you can now join our voice comms Ventrilo server and meet others with the same interests, chat or use it for your own formation flights. You'll need to download the client from
www.ventrilo.com and use a headset. To join our server click on the link on our
contacts page and it will start up Ventrilo for you and log onto our server. It automatically saves the server in the server list for next time under the user name you created with your settings.
All the cyan colored channels are open for everybody including the training channels for anyone wanting to host their own formation aerobatics session and use our server for comms. The red channels require a password (don't bother asking for it).
We hope this will allow both us as well as
you to hang out, fly and chat once in a while. Enjoy!
