Birdwatching · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:26 pm

Guys, it's a great day:

I'm sitting in Freiburg, Germany, and in a couple of minutes the big event will start!

I even flunked out of University for this!

Let's add to this thread LIVE, as the action unfolds. I can't wait for the rollout!

If you're in Austria, Switzerland or germany, you can watch it on ZDF.

It is starting NOW!!!

macc · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:31 pm

n-tv seems to feature it too, but zdf is surely the best

Birdwatching · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:33 pm

Yeah, Niki Lauda is there (on ZDF), plus some Lufthansa people.

707CMF · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:35 pm

ChrisH · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:38 pm

The stream on the airbus site isnt working. Anyone got any other good livefeed links?

Birdwatching · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:39 pm

Cool historical footage now.

FLVILLA · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:40 pm

Hahaha! The Lufthansa Boss Mayerhuber just said that LH will fly the A380 to "every" continent!

Haha, they will be flying to Antarctica! Smile/happy/getting dizzy

agill · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:45 pm

Birdwatching: Well there is at least lots of room for landing Smile

mdsh00 · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:46 pm

As posted in another topic, for those outside Europe, here´s the adress of german newschannel n-tv which are broadcasting a live stream at 11.a.m

What time is it there? I see regular headline footage right now.

macc · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:47 pm

for an austrian, mayrhuber has a pretty german accent... Smile/happy/getting dizzy

but which customer will offer casinos on board the a380?

geizistgeil · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:47 pm

Haha, "Wolfi" hided his austrian accent very well Smile/happy/getting dizzy

SK A340 · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:48 pm

I'm in school right now and our computers doesn't always have the right software for live TV. I think Airbus.com will send it with Macromedisa Flash. Anyone who knows of a live webcast with Windows Media Player?

/SK A340

geizistgeil · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:53 pm

Can you see what picture german ZDF shows in the background of their studio?
Not very up-to-date to have a 3XX tail HAHA!

schreiner · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:54 pm

Is the airbus-webcast already open? it doesnt work over here... Sad

Birdwatching · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:54 pm

The Lufthansa captain himself, he didn't do great advertising for his own service. He said Economy class will be horrible.

ConcordeBoy · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:54 pm

...cant seem to get Airbus.com's video to load

Andreas · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:54 pm

Hello everybody!!

Greetings from Frankfurt, one of the cities that will definitely be host to the A 380 in operations!

I'm watching ZDF...and they've totally misplaced Toulouse on the map *LOLOL*,!!! Big grin

SK A340 · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:55 pm

The Airbus.com isn't working here either...

vr-hkg · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:56 pm

The A380 webcast from Airbus doesn't seem to be working for anybody. AFAICT there may be a problem with the SWF file. I note that if you decompile the SWF file, the URL the video streams from is:

rtmp://flash.zonepro.com/arirbus/live

Note the typo "arirbus".

Birdwatching · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:57 pm

DO NOT use the airbus.com feed, use the N-TV feed, as pointed out by geizistgeil in this thread. He also provided the direct link You need Real player though. But you probably have it on your PC.

SK A340 · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:59 pm

No I don't have Real, can I see it anywhere else?

vr-hkg · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:59 pm

Birdwatching: Unfortunately I refuse to use RealPlayer as it installs spyware on your PC, and the spyware-free BBC version is no longer available.

Anybody know of a Media Player feed?

Birdwatching · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:59 pm

Now they are showing a report about the apple farmer whiners in HAM. Give me a break.

macc · Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:59 pm

will they improve their logistics? cant imagine that they continue to transport wings and body with such expensive special transportation.

FLVILLA · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:00 pm

I'am also at school and none of these computers have RealPlayer, is there any version on media player ?????

macc · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:01 pm

great MD-11 landing!!

ah, the FRA whiners...

macc · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:03 pm

its also shown on CNN guys!

mdsh00 · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:04 pm

the n-tv first kept crashing my computer and now the stream wont come...overloaded?

lhrstu · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:04 pm

Sky news have been running a poll. "Is Bigger better when it comes to air travel?" Currently at 55% say yes.

BBC news 24 coverage has just started.

geizistgeil · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:04 pm

Unfortunately the n-tv stream doesn´t work on any other player than the real-player, I tried it several times at home....

planecrazy2 · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:05 pm

n-tv.de suddenly stopped working

vr-hkg · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:05 pm

Here's a Media Player feed in French that is currently covering the A380 launch:

Birdwatching · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:06 pm

Haha! Good Joke!

When a frenchman sees an Airbus flying over his house he calls "vive la France", when a german sees an Airbus flying over his house, he calls the court.

Smile/happy/getting dizzy

syncmaster · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:06 pm

It's working for me, but I can't understand German. Or enough of it anyways.

photolppt · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:07 pm

I've taken the morning off work just for this, wouldn't wanna miss it for anything.
Currently zapping between Sky News and EuroNews.

The hangar filled in blue light is just wonderfull

xtristarx · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:07 pm

hahaha, this was great, a joke in german (maybe someone can translate this better):

"wenn ein airbus über das grundstück eines franzosen fliegt ruft der franzose "vive la france!", wenn ein airbus über das grundstück eines deutschen fliegt ruft der deutsche das gericht"

geizistgeil · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:08 pm

and another german live stream:

Birdwatching · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:09 pm

NOW!!! The Politicians!!!

bill142 · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:09 pm

Will the presentation be in english? I have the n-tv stream showing, but I havn't had the time to do that german course I have always wanted to do.

ConcordeBoy · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:09 pm

...wish they'd hurry the f^ck up, tryin' to stay up for this crap

SK A340 · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:09 pm

Thanks a lot Vr-hkg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lhrstu · Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:10 pm

Sky, ITN and BBC are all showing it but not continuous coverage. BBC say the unveiling is just after 10:30. BBC also has some knowledgable commentators.
