We also host virtual fly-ins, one-on-one help flights for newer pilots still learning, and other exciting events such as disaster simulations where you can go to the rescue!!
Our most regular event is the 'Saturday Night Scramble' - where all those on the #fgfc channel who are around on a Saturday evening (UTC) pick an aircraft, pick a destination, and all fly there. However, this does not mean that scheduled events are a rarity!
Requirements?
To keep up in flights, one should be a fairly competent simulation pilot, able to follow a flight plan and navigate in strange territory, though the Club won't knowingly leave anyone behind. If you're not sure, contact someone in the club and ask. It is also recommended that you are capable of flying various different types of aircraft, from warbirds like the Bf109 to light jets.
