NOTE : We are now using JoinFS which allows different flight simulator pilots to see each other planes in their own system.
This is a simple client application to setup and use. For simplicity, we will use the JoinFS 'Join Global' button.
For more information, and downloading of the relevant client, visit https://www.joinfs.net/ and/or https://github.com/tuduce/JoinFS/releases
