Who's planning on being part of SimVenture 2020?

I'll be there on Xplane using a rented FSEconomy plane. Not sure if I will be using the REP C172, C210 or SF260.

Re: [May 18 1600-1900 PDT] "Light Up" featuring PHX TRACON

Great time yesterday. I was robbed due to Covid from being able to rent a plane and fly when I was out in Sedona at the beginning of the month.

Use of FSS

Pre Hours VFR Ops

What are the chances of PE offering for a small monthly fee, Gnd and Twr only services for the 3 or 4 hours before normal operation? Could be even weekends only. It would allow for pilots who live East of the coverage areas the chance to enjoy doing a morning flight in local time before the day star...

Re: MSFS 2020

Glad to read from the pilotedge Instagram page that PE is looking forward to supporting this new platform. A slight change it seems from when this post was made. Seems a lot of developers got the feedback and feel they needed to move forward on support for this platform. A good thing for all.
