VFR Flight Plan and Closing

I have looked around to see about closing a VFR flight plan and I can't find it anywhere. I doubt anyone's going to go looking for me 30 minutes after I'm supposed to have landed, but where, if anywhere, should I go to close a VFR flight plan? I guess I could contact FSS from the air, but what if I don't and I'm ready to shut down?

Are you referring to flying on PilotEdge? If so, there is no flight service simulated on pilotedge therefore there is no need (or method) to close your flight plan while flying in the network. Just complete your flight, log off and that’ll all.

In case this extra detail helps....you never opened your VFR flight plan with FSS, therefore there is no need to close it. Filing and opening are different operation. In this case, you're filing, but not opening.
