I see these posts all the time but don’t really understand them or how to access them. or how they proceed. Is there an in-depth explanation somewhere about these group tours?
Thanks.
G’day and thanks for your interest in the events. Each week I post and “announcement” of what event is coming up and follow up with more information about the event, e.g., route details, altitude, aircraft to use, time we are departing. I also supply flightplans in Little NavMap and MSFS format to simplify the entry of flight details. In addition I supply suggestions about settings to turn on/off in the sim to support the event.
If there are any free sceneries to enhance the flight, I will often post links to flightsim.to to download them.
All you need to do is click on the link I supply to my Discord server, so you can automatically join the server for voice during the event. In Discord there are a number of facilities you can make use of:
If you have any issues attempting to join the events, please send me a private message and I’ll hand hold you through the process.
Hope you can join us in future events. All the best.
