AIRCRAFT
Recommended aircraft: we suggest the recently-released Local Legend II: Fokker F.VII “Southern Cross” for this flight. If you do not own this payware plane, any other aircraft of your choice with a cruise speed of 90-100 knots is fine.

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.
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.
LET’S FLY
This is meant to be a fun and informal flight. Everybody is welcome, no matter the amount of experience.
