Hi @ll and Happy New (Simming) Year!
In preparation for this year's LLTM from April 2nd to 5th in Ahaus, I have begun drafting a concept and schedule for this year's LockOn Competition, taking into account feedback from the previous years' events.
One of the major requests was more free time and a less packed mission schedule.
Therefore, I have decided to keep Saturday Evening free for beer and socializing.
Futhermore, the combat missions will no longer consist of multiple rounds, but only one single sortie. This will leave ample time for briefing and team tactics discussion before the flight.
The dogfight matches will no longer be "best of three", but only one single round, making for a shorter dogfight tournament.
Nevertheless, there will be enough competition events offered for those who like to indulge in a full weekend of LockOn flying. As you might know from the past, you do not need to participate in all those events to be successful in the overall competition. Just make sure you are punctually to join the briefings of those events you want to participate in, on time.
Especially the new "single sortie" mode for combat missions should provide for less stress than we experienced in the last years during a 3-hour mission time block .
Here is a preliminary draft of the LLTM 2009 LockOn Competition Schedule, likely subject to change:
- All times are local time which is Central European Summer Time or UTC+2.
- Schedule is subject to change if necessary.
Friday, April 3rd, 2009
08:00-12:00 Build-Up, Free Flight
12:00-14:00 LLTM Welcome Ceremony, Lunch
14:00-17:00 Air Race
17:00-18:00 Dinner
18:00-21:00 Combat Mission
21:00–01:00 Dogfight Tournament
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
08:00-09:00 Free Flight
09:00–12:00 Combat Mission
12:00–13:00 Lunch
13:00–16:00 Combat Mission
16:00–17:00 Free Flight, if necessary: Dogfight Finals
17:00–20:00 Combat Mission, Dinner after briefing & before takeoff
20:00–01:00 Free Beer (5th Anniversary vJaBoG32)
Sunday, April 5th, 2009
08:00–10:00 Free Flight, if necessary: Dogfight Finals
10:00–14:00 Solo Aerobatic Displays, Lunch
14:00–15:00 Free Flight, Packing
15:00–17:00 Closing Ceremony
This preliminary schedule will most probably change after coordination to incorporate the time requirements of the Falcon4 and IL2 competitions regarding food and briefing room times.
If necessary, one of the combat missions will be dumped.
I am open to ideas and suggestions in this thread, via PM or E-Mail to woodstock@virtual-jabog32.de
Expect the LLTM2009 Homepage by Head Event Manager Jan "Ice" Hilt up and ready for participation sign-up in the next couple of weeks.
Expect the full LockOn Competition Manual including the finalized schedule available for download in the first weeks of March.
Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in April in Ahaus!
Best regards,
