Fly UK's new FSD server and inaugural event
Posted 21 Apr 2017
Many of you may have noted discussion around the updated facility and pop-up controller sessions over the past weeks, and now were ready to share our first online event. The FSD server is a place dedicated to Fly UK members and has seen significant update thanks to the support of Ian Beswick and Gray Brett. Tied in with our TeamSpeak server we can offer full ATC simulation within our own supportive and friendly community atmosphere. With survey results earlier this year suggesting a large percentage of members avoid online flying due to lack of skill or confidence, this is ideal opportunity to join fellow members in a private virtual sky and learn without the pressure of being on VATSIM or IVAO.
More details about the FSD server and how to join can be found in the pilots handbook and also in the dedicated FSD Server support forum.
April 28th event details
For the first FSD event, our team will be providing ATC coverage between Heathrow, Liverpool and Edinburgh plus Scottish and London Area control.
