FLIGHT DETAILS

Senior Community Manager @Jummivana recently returned from a business trip to Cologne, Germany where she attended gamescom. As part of this trip, she met up with several MSFS players, including our long-time Friday Fly-In co-host @Pieter2427. Later, they flew a real plane in Pieter’s home town of Rotterdam. For this week’s Community Fly-In Friday, we will visit several locations from Jayne’s recent trip, including both Cologne and Rotterdam. Additional destinations on this flight plan will showcase some of the new scenery from City Update 1: Dortmund and Dusseldorf. We will also be making a touch & go landing at Bielefeld – if it even exists. :wink:

Can the community fly in Friday button be updated on the websites main nav, please? It still goes to the Ireland fly in post. flightsimulator.com > community > community fly in friday

I am not quite sure what you mean but, whilst i am doing that, i am here at the field as are others, and prepped and ready for flight. I agree if others do not see the feed, then it just might need to be upgraded, but, what i am saying is, i came across this fly-in by accident really, but i am here
FS 2000 FS9 Fs2004 FS10 P3D XP11 XP12 FS2020 and possibly now XP12?

first time ever I joined a flyin and it was actually fun, rather crowded still in SU10 beta, had a tough time to keep up with the crowd in my TBM, so switched to the Hornet for the last minutes until I quit at Rotterdam

I participated in the community fly-in after a long time. As much as I love to fly with the community, the SE Server drops down the ping speed from 50 ms to 190+ ms.

Below is an example of what I see then:

Is there something that can be done about the speed or photogrammetry?
