VF090 IFR FABL Bloemfontein to FACT Cape Town, South Africa | VirtualFlight.Online Forum (boards.net)
Rules / Guidelines
If joining the Discord server for voice communications during the flight, conversation must remain family friendly, respectful, and not stray into any subjects that might offend such as adult jokes, sexuality, politics, religion, racism, or hate-speech.
Try to stay online until everybody has landed at the final airfield.
Repeated failure to follow the guidance will result in a ban from the Discord server.
Flightplan
There is no flight plan! Feel free to create your own flight plan using either the facilities available within the simulator, or any other tools available to you - such as LittleNavMap, Simbrief, or Navigraph. Remember to check the wind on the day of the event before deciding on your route (windy.com is very good - you can search for the airport ICAO codes).
A note for newcomers - this IFR flight has no ATC communication . Voice chat is recommended - but only to make friends, ask questions, and share knowledge about the aircraft and the simulator. We may do some flights at some stage with ATC if there is enough interest - and if we do, they will be clearly noted as such.
