We will be hosting an Official Fly-in alongside a group of community members (you!) on Twitch. This is an open event, free to all who would like to fly along with us and available to pilots of all skill levels. The goal is to have a great time, explore new locations of the world, and make new friends. This event is open to pilots on both sim versions (MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024) and both the PC and Xbox platforms.
Hosted by @SeedyL3205, @Pieter2427, and @FlightsWJoel
When: Friday, March 14 @ 1800Z for two hours.
2025-03-14T18:00:00Z
Where: The Official Twitch Channel of MSFS
There will also be a Discord event channel open for those who want to voice chat with other members of the community.
Please see below for details on the upcoming Fly-In Event:
FLIGHT DETAILS
Note: the start time of this Fly-In will be immediately following the Developer Livestream scheduled to start at 9:30am PDT (1630 UTC).
Earlier this week we released the long-awaited World Update XIX: Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana! To celebrate the launch, we polled our followers on our official Instagram account to ask for the community to pick from two flight plans over Brazil 
for our Fly-In this week. The first option was a flight along the Amazon River from Manaus to Santarém. The second option was a flight between Brazil’s two largest cities, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. By the absolute narrowest possible margin, the Amazon River flight won by a mere nine (9!!!) votes with over 5,000 total votes cast!
Given the extremely close voting in this poll, we have decided we will ALSO do the SĂŁo Paulo and Rio de Janeiro during one of our Fly-Ins next month!
For the best experience, all pilots should download the FREE World Update XIX: Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana from the in-sim Marketplace.
MSFS (2020) and MSFS 2024 Pilots on PC can download the .pln file here:
