FAQs

We all fly on Microsoft Flight Simulator for PC. We started flying on 2020 version and transitioning to 2024 version and a good running computer to run the games. Come join the Discord and ask around.

•  PC if you want to fly with a majority of us, but if you want to fly on Xbox that' fine too. 

• MSFS 2020 or 2024

• Discord - For communications with members and admin. Headset if you wish to talk. Not everyone talks and just chooses to text in the group chats

• Volanta is a good tool to track distance flown and times as well

• Preferred Flight Controller - If you're new to the group or flight sim flying ask in the Crew Chat channel. Anything from HOTAS to Xbox Controller

• Submit a Flight Log to add more depth to your sim and climb the ranks.

• Positive Fun Attitude. 

We will virtual chat (vc) in Discord. We have different rooms established for the different style flying and chatter you may encounter with those. They are not strictly enforced. If you have a lot of background noise. Avoid breathing and yelling at other people in your own home when on the mic, if you must enable Push-to-Talk.

Flight Logs are not required to participate in the KMFS Flying Group. They are an optional feature designed for members who wish to engage with our internal ranking system and add a layer of progression to their Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) experience. While external tools like Volanta are excellent for tracking distances and real-time locations, our logs are a custom-built, community-focused alternative.

Registration and Usage

Recording Flight Times

The Flight Log page features an integrated clock and a Gray "Lock" Button to assist with accurate timekeeping:

• Log Entry: Once the time is captured, it is automatically copied to your clipboard. Simply select the appropriate field in the form and press CTRL+V (or right-click and paste) to enter the data.

• Updates: You can click the Gray Button again at any point during your flight to update the captured time for subsequent entries.
