LET’S FLY

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

Had an interesting moment with this flight, I bought a few planes and chose one of them as it was within the specs that was required. Naturally I began to fly and was feeling rather sleepy and fell asleep, I guess autopilot fell asleep as well cause it certainly missed our runway

So today I decided to redo the flight, with a different plane. The odd thing was the plane I took in the previous video claimed that it was going to take three hours to complete the flight when the cruise speed was actually 130 knots rather than 120, made no sense to me, and you can see that at the start of this video. As I said, I redid the flight with a different plane today

so do i need to download something or log in at certain time to be a part of this fly in. I am new to community events.

Just apply the Server and Multiplayer settings in the original post, fire up the simulator with the flight plan loaded - or at least starting at the correct airport - and you’re good to go.

Hello @loveofflight,

If you watch the Twitch stream (link below) when the event starts, I’ll explain everything you need to do to join the group flight. Most participants like to have the Twitch broadcast on a second monitor or alternate display like a tablet while they’re flying with the group.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

Wonderful time flying with everybody today! I had just purchased the Flying Fries Hughes XF-11 only an hour before the stream so this was my first flight with her, wonderful flying experience and incredibly well detailed, flies like a dream!
