Join us as we take off from Mariscal Secre Intl, an airport high in the Mountains in Ecuador, overfly a beautiful crater lake before descending to land as one of many airports on our way to the coast. Then we follow the coast to Puna Island and follow the very scenic inlet to Guayaquil and the Jose Joaquin De Olmedo Intl airport for a full stop landing.
Details to follow. Hope you can join us.
Regards, Paul
Hi Paul, here is a possible event worth a look at:
“The Rogue River in Southern Oregon runs from Crater Lake to the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach. This trip starts about half way down the river at Grants Pass (3S8) and goes to the end at Gold Beach (4S1). The river geography starts narrow and steep then opens up with a great view of the river entering the ocean. There are a few airstrips tucked away to land at as well!”
Cold start closer to Crater Lake. Lots of trees, but some nice bush landing “touch and go” sites and a few bridges to fly under

Thanks for the input. I will work the route into a future event.

Aircraft: The following planes are recommended:

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.

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 10:00z. 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
