[ZK-DWF]

We welcome anyone to join us for an evening of sim-flying adventure on Sunday 17 May, departing at 7:30 PM NZDT in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

NOTE : We are now using JoinFS which allows different flight simulator pilots to see each other planes in their own system.
This is a simple client application to setup and use. For simplicity, we will use the JoinFS Public Hub site called 'DigitalThemePark'.
For more information, and downloading of the relevant client, visit https://www.joinfs.net/ and/or https://github.com/tuduce/JoinFS/releases
