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.
- Saint Barthelemy TFFJ Landing Challenge
- 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.
