Good Morning Pilots,

Update on my MSFS2024 status. I'm pretty much in a holding pattern - sticking with MSFS2020 for now so that I can fly Larry's Wednesday night group flights. The MSFS2024 doesn't allow group flying with other sims, so those flying MSFS2020, P3D, Xplane, etc. cannot see the MSFS2024 aircraft through JoinFS. Also, I can't remember all the changed keyboard shortcuts to run things in 2024.

Today I updated the current Joomla Content Management System for our website and a number of extensions that were needing updates, so our site is running the most current software as of today.

I haven't had lots of time for adding new flight offerings for pilots due to real life stuff going on, but will add things as time allows. I'm trying to balance real world activities with site maintenance and flying some flights myself and that doesn't leave much time left for developing and adding new flight offerings. That said, there's still plenty of fun flying around here at SPA. For example, you might try the Econ Module - particularly the MSP Hub listing there. It provides random flight and passenger and cargo assignments you can select. There are instructions for how to do it in the Instructions area of our Main Menu. Also, you can try the Lower 48 States Tours. You will see a map of the United States on that page, and each state is "clickable" and opens to a flight plan tour for you to fly.

Happy flying,

John
