What are events ?

Events are group flights for the community to take part in.

Prerequisites

Configure your multi-player settings

• If you want to see other people within the simulator (instructions here are for 2020 and 2024):

  • Online settings will need to have multiplayer set to ON

  • Online settings will need multiplayer server to match everybody you want to see (check event details)

  • Flight Conditions will need to be set to "All Players"

Join Discord to talk to each other

• If you want to listen to and talk to others in flight, you will need to join the Discord server. Discord is an application you can run alongside Microsoft Flight Simulator, and provides excellent live voice-chat and screen-sharing facilities for free.

• Within Discord you will find an Events Forum, and an Events Voice Chat channel.

Where are events advertised?

Events are listed in the  Discord server in the following locations:

• The main place to find upcoming events is the "Events" section of the discord server - at the top of the left margin.

• The "Events Forum" channel lists further information about each event - such as flight plans, and any helpful guidance.

How do I take part in an event?

• All you need to do is arrive in the right place, at the right time, on the right multi-player server.

• PLEASE read the event information to find out about the flight. Having 30 people ask "which server are we on?" gets really old, really quickly.

Rules

• If joining the Discord server for voice communications during the flight, conversation must remain family friendly, respectful, and not stray into any subjects that may offend such as adult jokes, politics, religion, racism, drugs, or hate-speech.

• Try to stay with the group if you're doing a group flight. If you find yourself 20 miles ahead of everybody else, it's no longer really a group flight.
