Suggest the following FREE mod from Flightsim.to:
Also, you need to download the FREE Working Title G3000 for the above mod:

I have included a new Tutorial on flying the above recommended modified TBM930 in the Tutorials Channel, for your convenience.
Print this flight card out for your easy reference during the flight (Note: only available up to the date of the flight):
IMPORTANT: Due to my region commencing Daylight Savings Time, events will commence an hour earlier than previously zulu time, i.e., previously 8pm my time was 1000z now it’s 0900z.
Please consider this so you don’t turn up an hour late and miss half of the event.

Hi Paul, I am a newbie trying to join your flight this Friday. Your discord link takes me to your server, I seem to be accepted, but not fully, with a message saying " You do not have permission to view the message history of this application" Do I have to do something? Rgds, Saky
Try Now. You had to wait for me to promote you to Member.
Thanks, all good now… will be there on Friday night…
Just a reminder guys that we start at 0900z not 1000z on Friday. Don’t arrive late!
Event reminder …
As a result of two of the airports being difficult to perform a touch and go with the TBM, I’ve changed the instruction to overfly the airports. One is simply too short the other is non-existent and positions you in the middle of a lake when spawning at the airfield.
I’ve changed the instructions and re-produced the Flight Card for you to re-download if necessary.
Regards, Paul
Hey Guys, I got it wrong … The next event is Austria, then The Azores.
More to come soon.
