Office gif and no ping???

This is very cool! I kinda thought it was going to be this, I guess Laura’s fleet thread can conclude?

So excited!

I mean, so fair! Quick question though. The blog didn’t say, or I didn’t see it, but how many background flights can we have? As in, if I start a flight from DFW to LHR, and then put it into the background, get on a TBM and go up to 10000 ft with a flight plan and all regular criteria, can I also put this into background? And so on, for other flights? Or is it just one background flight at a time?

You can have one flight using AutoPilot+, and one that isn’t. Only one will continue in the background.

Nope, the fleet is way more than this.

Yeah, I think there are still a lot of speculations to happen about the fleet. Besides, they haven’t announced any kind of parked feature yet, or the new mode, or new aircraft, or any of those goodies

Wait so you’re saying I can fly a long haul route and while that long haul route is going I can do like three short haul routes at the same time? Can I do this on every server (so two flights at once each on casual, training, and expert)?

This is a game changer. @Super_Landing is gonna start wilding.

Wait does this mean that we could potentially fly a formation with ourselves?

Can I intercept myself??

Yes. You could put a tanker up at fl290 and then have a fighter follow and fill up!

I’m not sure whether you’d be able to do two flights on the same server…
