Hi star pilots! Looks like May the fourth is quickly approaching, so lets assault the DeathStar again!
Please join us as we celebrate 40 years of Star Wars by visiting a few sites used in the filming of the saga. Filming locations that we will visit include: Hoth, Alderaan, Mustafar, Naboo, and more!
We will finish the evenings fun with an exciting attack on the DeathStar as we re-create the Battle of Yavin!
This flight will take place using JoinFS. See here for details:

Aircraft:
We have a lot of distance to cover, so we will be flying the Wonderful X-wing and Y-wing that our buddy Storm spent many hours fine-tuning for last years Star Wars flight.
You can download them from Storm's Hangar: https://is.gd/StormsHangar looking in the Spacecraft section. The download contains both the X-wing and the Y-wing, and you should install them at the same time, following the PDF installation manual.
There are separate User Guides for each vessel. Have a try at piloting them both. Then make a choice for our May The 4th flights (or fly them both on different legs).
Here's a quick comparison of the X-wing and Y-wing.
