We are hosting another long haul, from Boston, East USA to Incheon, South Korea. This is a very long duration flight, and may be too long for some simmers. There will also be another flightplan posted in the same topic for a shorter journey. follow this link for more details.

I got to give praise where it's due, Alderney rocks. Its just one cracking bit of scenery, in just about every way. I've heard mumblings that its too expensive, and that you don't get much real estate. But truth be told,
it is worth every penny of the 17 odd quid asking price. You pay more than that for a few 3D models scattered around an
Airport with a few autogen trees thrown in for good measure. With Alderney, you get a glorious rendition of the airfield, including all airside 'clutter'. Hop over the fence and the attention to detail follows through with a busy carpark and a whole island to explore beyond that.
As for the rest of Alderney, some of the buildings have been done as bespoke 3D buildings, including the church of St Annes, while others are autogen. But this isn't run of the mill autogen, this is "Channel Islands" autogen with each building looking more like its real world counter part from that part of the world. It makes all the difference. As you make your way down the hill towards the port, you'll notice many boats rocking in the bay. Taking a trip into the town, you'll pass the play ground with children on the swings and roundabout. Passing the fields, and theres everychance you'll see a scare crow, or a farmer ploughing his field. With the changing of the season, comes a change in the photo graphic scenery, a first! Not only is there a summer set, but also a spring and an autumn. That leaves winter, and for january, hard winter! With each season comes a change to the fields and the farms. Choose the right season and you'll catch young calves or lambs chewing on the grass. Watch the building site progress through the year as you whale watch and find other ways to enjoy your stay on this wonderfull bit of scenery. With 5 seasons of photographic splendor, bought to you at 30cm per pixel on a 5m terrain mesh. Add some bespoke 3D buildings and autogen specially made for the area, and you are set for a pretty immersive experience! So hats off to both Darren & Vikki for getting this out to us avid simmers, and heres to many more!

Installing and setting up Multiplayer sessions can be very frustrating, especially for less technically experienced flight simmers. Therefore, we have designed Come Fly With Me to eliminate the numerous technical considerations and just let you and your buddies hit the sky and have fun!
It's Your Plane Presents …. “Come Fly With Me"
A perfectly natural extension of the IYP experience
Come Fly With Me is the IYP Fully-Integrated Multiplayer Solution for FS9 and FSX!
Yes, we know that many of you are already flying together in the Multiplayer Mode...
So, what's so special about Come Fly With Me?
Come Fly With Me dramatically simplifies the set up requirements for
Multiplayer flying, participation and enjoyment!
* Come Fly With Me is an integration of IYP and FSHost (developed by Russell Gilbert) and is permanently located on one of our IYP Servers. The result? The usual FS Hosting problems that you encounter with home-based multiplayer sessions are gone!
- § No more hosting set up struggles - Come Fly With Me-FSHost runs 24/7 on our server
- § No more e-mails with your latest IP address - the “static" Host IP address never changes
- § No more difficulties for FS9 and FSX simmers to fly together – it's now easier than ever
* Come Fly With Me supports 16 Session Channels with up to 16 pilots in any given session. A Session Chart on the IYP Home page shows (in yellow) who are flying together and on what channel they are communicating.
* Come Fly With Me integrates with IYP's TeamSpeak server, permitting pilots to talk with each other while flying in a session.
* Come Fly With Me also integrates with the IYP Flight Tracker permitting users to see the latitude and longitude of each pilot flying with IYP, making it easy to know where to join up with an existing session.
Whether you set up specific times with your friends to fly together or just do it “on the fly", multiplayer flying is great fun!
Have you longingly watched formation flying? Now's the time for you to do it!
If none of your flying buddies are around in the middle of the night, head out anyway and see who joins you from the other side of the world - your flight and communication channel will be displayed in the Session Chart on the IYP Home Page.
Don't wait - Extend your IYP flying horizons
So….. Come Fly With Me
The sky's the limit!
