Hi - Clicking the Discord link gives quite a blank screen with the message “No text channels - You find yourself in a strange place. You don’t have access to text channels, or there are none in this server”. I’m using the browser and not the Discord application.

I would like to join this flight event.

Just took a quick look: conditions are pretty awful at Tacoma Narrows with real weather right now: conditions are QBI and tower would not give me VFR taxi. Anybody else joining this?

And BTW I have never done multiplayer before: I do not see this flight in the planned events on Discord VIrtualFlight.online server?
