Since this time it will be a C208 flight, here’s the most recent (still a month old) mod for the C208 that fixes some issues:

Exp232/C208-MSFS2020-Fix

And don’t forget the G1000 mod which has been updated to work with yesterday’s patch:

Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages

@simtom2: Are you forced to use vanilla game? Or wouldn’t the stream be a great opportunity to show the viewers what the community was able to create.
I’m sure there are many virtual pilots out there who don’t read the forums and thus miss out the great improvements that are free to use for everyone making some aircraft and the G1000 more enjoyable.
Also it would give more credit to those involved for their hard work to keep us flying with more realism that stock systems/aircraft are offering.

Would also love to see a Fly-In with the G36 some day

Looking forward to todays flight!

[PAGYIZO777]

Can’t wait!

[Jummivana]

The “stream” portion of this event is canceled but the fly-in is still happening today! @simtom2 will be streaming it in discord in the Event section and all are welcome. Same time same place.

[Dougiesy]

Just went there and no one was there. West Europe server at 14:55

[PAGYIZO777]

It’s live now!

[CopperNu]

The parking area at LRCV is full of people. Please check again and switch servers back and forth, sometimes that helps

[T0stey]

Same as @PAGYIZO777, airport is empty

[IngoPlane]

Give it some time, i sat on the runway for like 5 minutes then suddenly everyone appeared for me.

[FakePilot777]

Everyone just disappeared for me. Tried restarting but did not help.

[Jummivana]

We just switched to Southeast Asia as the other server wasn’t working well!

[PAGYIZO777]

Thx! Anybody a little form flying?

[PauL1eeeeeeeeee]

i took b787 to catch all and all of a sudden they popped front of me

[FakePilot777]

I was all for it but now I can’t find you?

[PAGYIZO777]

Me neither but I am still flying!

[FakePilot777]

So am I

[IngoPlane]

[CopperNu]

Well that was a bit different but still fun.
The Storm preset brought up some nice atmosphere especially on our landing at LPSB
Didn’t think I’d like the C208, but it behaved very nicely (except for the AP not liking to fly a VOR radial…)

Thanks everyone for joining!
