Hi! I mainly hang out in the Msfs discord, but there’s a cool initiative I wanted to share with you guys!
A Discord user had a great idea to consolidate the spread MSFS community, the idea being: Every 24 hours at 12pm GMT, the bot in discord, picks a new Airport of the Day and opens up a dedicated voice channel for the event in the discord server. This so every one has a fresh and random airport to fly to/from.
The idea:
Hop into the voice channel if you want, there is also a text channel for those who dont want to speak.
Align yourselves to the same multiplayer server (There is a how to guide in the discord channel)
Fly around the same airport
Meet other pilots who are flying there too
Don’t be shy! Jump into the voice channel, say hello, and see who else is flying in. You might discover a new favorite airport and make some new flight sim friends along the way.
In an effort to mitigate trolling one needs to be rank 3 to join a voice channel. You get points for each message, but only for 1 message per minute. If adhere by this, it takes 28 minutes to achieve rank 3
That’s enough yapping, here is how the daily posts look:
