Have you flown with a group before? It's not as difficult as you might think.
Getting Started with Group Flights
If you’ve not taken part in a group flight with Microsoft Flight Simulator, you are missing out. What better way to spend an hour or two than in the company of fellow aviation enthusiasts - exchanging stories, knowledge, and tips about the various aircraft and routes you have flown.
