[OFFICIAL] Community Fly-in Event: Kiribati + Landing Challenges

We will be hosting an Official Fly-in alongside a group of community members (you!) on Twitch. This is an open event, free to those who would like to fly along with us and available for all skill levels. The goal is to have a great time, explore new locations of the world, and make new friends.

Hosted by @Jummivana, @simtom2, and @Pieter1982NL.

When: Friday, 2000Z, for two hours.
Where: The Official Twitch Channel of MSFS

There will also be a Discord event channel open for those who want to voice chat.

Please see below for details on the upcoming Fly-In Event.

FLIGHT DETAILS

This week we are doing something a little different! We thought we’d kick off the first 30-40 minutes with a short community flight around the first inside joke the community came up with when MSFS released: Kiribati.

After that, we have two landing challenges for you! This will be in All Players mode and we will direct you where to spawn so we can watch everyone land.

  1. Saint Barthelemy TFFJ Landing Challenge
  2. SABA Landing Challenge

We will start with Kiribati. All flight plans are below.

PLANNING

Use any GA plane!

First load the Kiribati flight plan. Please load your aircraft 10 minutes prior to take off and taxi over to the taxiway or parking.

WEATHER

We will be using either Few Clouds or clear skies.

MULTIPLAYER SETTINGS

Please adhere to the following settings so you can see everyone / be seen by everyone.

Variable Setting
Server North Europe
Multiplayer All
Live traffic As desired
Weather Few Clouds

COMMUNICATION

To communicate with others, a voice channel on the "Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Discord” at https://discord.gg/msfs will be available to join.

It is advised in this flight to turn off both aircraft collisions and terrain collisions. If you do crash, you can use “slew” mode to join the pack. If the pack will be too scattered before the first stop, we will use slew on a defined point to regroup.

Is this for retirees? Right in the middle of the workday… blah.

Depends on Your location. I live in Europe, so this date is perfect for me. :slight_smile:

What a fun event, thank you for planning and hosting!
An embarassing landing on camera will bring me to the hall of shame, but well, there’s good company :smiley:

Didn’t get to fly with you but enjoyed watching the video. I see I’m not as bad a pilot as I thought.
