Flight Gear Flying Club
Club & Activities
Flying flight simulation is all very well, but it soon gets boring if you're always alone; it's always more fun with a friend! That's why the Flight Gear Flying Club was formed. The Flying Club is a collection of FG enthusiasts who band together and fly impromptu flights, and organize more formal get-togethers such as our popular weekly three-to -four-hour tours in different parts of the world. Each week's flight is announced on the Flight Gear Multiplayer Forum***. 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!!

Requirements?
Interest and enthusiasm. To keep up in the weekly 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. Most members subscribe to, "Organize a flight with a friend, or a new friend, & helping each other learn by having fun." We have all levels of pilots flying with us from seasoned VA pilots with hundreds of hours to beginners who are still learning the ropes. There's usually someone around to lend a hand when needed.
