Vatsim's Australia/Pacific Division "VATPAC" runs a regular event called "Panic Stations". For this event an airport is selected, and all members are encouraged to either control, or fly with an intent to arrive at a specified time.
For the first such event of 2012, the Airport was Hobart YMHB. The time: 1030UTC.

The Hobart ATC tower is of historical significance in a national context as a rare and
representative surviving example of a post-World War II era control tower equipped to an
international standard following guidelines devised by the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO). It was one of eight Australian ATC towers built to the same operational specifications between 1952 and 1959 in the first major phase of control towers development in the post-WWII period...

It is one of the oldest operational towers in Australia. Its contemporaries are the Essendon ATC tower, commissioned on 4 October 1956, and Launceston, which is believed to have been commissioned in 1958. All three were designed by the Commonwealth of Australia Department of Works (Victoria & Tasmania Branch) for the Department of Civil Aviation...

The ATC tower was a central element of the new Hobart Airport at Llanhern, which replaced Cambridge Aerodrome as the city's primary airport in 1956...

The Hobart ATC tower is situated on a hill to the west of the runway, and north-west of the terminal buildings and is unusual and may be unique in Australia in that it serves two airfields: Cambridge Aerodrome, from 1936-56 Hobart's main airport and now a general aviation airfield; and Hobart International Airport, approximately two kilometres to the east.

*citation: Airservices Australia - ASA Heritage/Hobart Tower document; 23 July 2009

Odd spot:At some airports in the world there are 2 or more ATC Towers serving 1 airport. At Hobart there's 1 ATC tower serving 2 airports.

In acknowledgement of this unique factor, Landings at Cambridge were also accepted. Indeed VH-NOS won the event time in a landing at Cambridge.

As a special treat, a certain Vatpac member - Ben - who is a real life controller was scheduled onto the Melbourne Centre /Tasman sector. He works this sector in real life (although has probably never seen 30+ aircraft arriving at Hobart within the same hour in his life).

Although I was not able to make a repeat of my win during last year's Canberra Event, fun was still had.

For those wishing to learn more about FSX scenery for Tasmania, flightplans for common routes to Hobart, and other general information about operating into Hobart's Class D Procedural tower, then my post regarding the January 15 2012 Vatpac panic stations flyin can be found on the Vatsim Forum:

nice upload. I wonder why you use two GPS ? bcoz I am considering to buy RX 530, but did not get the merit why you need 2 gps..Cheers

[musicalaviator]

@AlpaslanTheRegnum One had the TCAD(tcas from ACARS) display and the other had terrain display. Also I used one for a direct-to distance (bottom one) without disturbing the route (top one). Finally if the real plane can have 2, why not... Also with crossfill you can use one to build a flightplan while the other keeps flying the old one, so you can swap quickly for re-routes, holds, directs etc.
