Christchurch Control: 2024 Edition

Kia Ora Koutou Katoa,

With the release of the long-awaited Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Tuesday, we have chucked in a special 2 for 1 special this week with an extra event on Friday, twice the flying and twice the fun. With control across the country, you can test the new simulator and your computer components. (I'll track the game crashes for you and announce it at the end of the event).

With that, make the most of the dual event week. Controllers can pick any positions they're rated to staff. Pilots can choose any flight or flights they want to take, any aircraft type, from anywhere around the country!

The goal is to cover as much of the country as possible with ATC service, and then the challenge is for our pilots to keep the controllers busy all evening.
