General InformationPlease read this information carefully so you will be ready-to-go for your class. If you have a question prior to the class, please post it in this thread.1) Each of you will receive a SimHQ private message from me at approximately this same time tomorrow. The PM will contain 2 passwords. The first is your access to the special channel on the SimHQ TeamSpeak server. The second is your access to the SimHQ DCS: Black Shark server. These will be new passwords for the classes, and each class will have their own passwords.
2) We strongly suggest you log into the SimHQ DCS: Black Shark and TeamSpeak servers 10 minutes before your class starts. Anyone not logged-in and ready-to-go at the specified start time will miss their class.
3) For training, Shepski will do a demo while you watch in the "F2 external view" then you get to try it. He will create a special training mission for beginner and intermediate classes.
4) Please maintain quiet by muting your microphone during Shepski's training so everyone can get the most from the class.
5) If you have a question during the training, please type a "?" in the chat window and wait to be acknowledged.
6) Check this thread before your class for any late information.
