Aircraft: The C172 or similar would be good for this flight.
Note: Turn on Fauna markers to check out Geese and Gulls when they appear.
IMPORTANT: In the interest of keeping it REAL, please refrain from selecting inappropriate aircraft, like airliners. This only detracts from the immersion of the flight.
Seeing Aircraft Correctly: You need to do two things to ensure you can see the other pilots in the event and see them in the aircraft they selected.
Select the same server: To do this, proceed as follows:
From the Welcome Screen, click on your Username (top right)
From the list of servers, under Servers, select WEST USA
Turn off Generic Planes: To do this, proceed as follows:
From the Welcome Screen, click on OPTIONS
Click on GENERAL
With TRAFFIC selected, scroll down to the last option and set USE GENERIC PLANE MODELS to OFF
Turning off Crash/Damage:
Select Options/General/Flight Model
Select Legacy Model, so you can adjust the settings below
Move Crash Realism to 0
Select Modern Model, to reselect the appropriate flight model
Accept the settings
Next:
Select Options/Assistance
Expand Failure & Damage
Disable Crash Damage
Accept the changes
Voice Room: Discord for Official MSFS Community: Event #1 or Event #2 are the voice rooms available to us. I need to see which is available on the day and reserve it. I will be in the room and get it authorised for our use. Just look for my Userid: VHFIB to determine which room to enter. Until the room is open only one person can be in the room. In the past we have needed to use a PTT (push to talk) button. This is no longer required, so you can use voice activated comms. Some people prefer to use their phone or ipad etc for Discord comms.
Note: if you are new to the Discord Server for MSFS, you will need to “react” to get access to the voice rooms.
To “react”, once in the Discord for Official MSFS, click on the Important - Info option and at the very bottom, click on the button (last item at the bottom of the screen) to react and provide access. Note: clicking on the button accepts the conditions etc., which you can read via the available links.

Note: this link is only valid for 7 days from posting.
Weather/Time: We will set the time to 8am. This will allow us to fly in daylight and choose CLEAR Weather, so can enjoy the scenery:
From the World Map view, click on Flight Conditions (upper right of screen)
Click on All Players, Live Traffic, Custom
Under Weather and Time, select Clear Weather and move the time slide bar to show 8:00am.
Click Close and Fly from the World Map view.
We can start departing from 9:00z. There will be no need for official radio calls. Lets just have some fun taking in the scenery and the social aspects of the event.
Turning on Name Tags (This will assist you in following the group if you get disoriented):
Select Options/GeneralTraffic
Set Show Traffic Nameplates to On
Accept the settings
Still confused, check out the multiplayer video tutorial from SimHangar Flight Simulation: MSFS | MULTIPLAYER | How To Guide | Everything You Need To Know | Fly in events coming soon. - YouTube
Let me know if there’s anything else that I’ve missed that you need to know.,

Looking forward to the Adriatic flight.
Is it 10.00Z or 10.00 local UK time?
Thanks,
David
9.00z (we are still on daylight savings time) which is 8pm our local time (Sydney).
Event reminder …
You can disable crash damage much easier, without temporarily switching to the legacy flight model.
Please advise the process.
Sorry, am currently not able to launch FS2020 (away from computer), but it is in the same menu structure where you also disable engine overstress etc. - I think it is in the “Flight Assistance” menu structure, a sibling menu perhaps of where you also enable/disable POI labels, taxi markers etc.
Just go through all the menu items - you’ll find it 
It’s called “Ground Collision” or similar…
Thanks for the great flight. Unfortunately had two CTDs, first around Split and the second just before the final destination… 
But it was fun again nevertheless 
Hi,
Haven’t forgotten your question Collision damage with the ground (and other objects) can be disabled / enabled as follows, with the modern flight model (which is default):
You’ll also find here other options such as “Aircraft Stress Damage” and “Engine Stress Damage” - turn them off and go “full throttle”
Yeah, I know, the “Assistance” menu might not be the first place to look for aircraft damage options… but they are there since day 1 - have fun!
