Over the new year period a number of new pilots have joined the ranks at VirtualFlight.Online, so we thought it might be useful to re-cap the various facilities available - a “getting started” guide of sorts.
Best regards,

The Codex
The codex is our online reference guide to everything we do. It has getting started guides for joining Discord, taking part in group flights, and your first steps with the Virtual Airline.
Visit the codex and explore:
Discord
Discord is a free voice, video, and text chat app that's used by tens of millions of people to talk and hang out with their communities and friends online.
We use Discord for:
News
Conversation (about anything and everything to do with flight simulation)
Forums (to ask questions, get help, and share knowledge)
Live voice chat (both during flights, and just hanging out together)
Screen sharing (by far the best way of getting help with simulator or aircraft issues)
To find out more about Discord, and join the server, read more in the codex:
Some people prefer Discord - others prefer Facebook. We have a Facebook Group :)

Group Flights
The community regularly organise group flights. It’s important to note that anybody can organise a group flight - not just moderators or administrators.
Full instructions on how to take part in, and create group flights are in the Codex:
Virtual Airline
We run a virtual airline - where you can register for a callsign, download an ACARS flight logging application, and start flying tours, scheduled flights, and charters all over the world. We keep it relaxed and fun.
The airline caters for everything from a single engine Cessna, right up to the mighty 747 and A380.
