When you join the server, you start with a Diamond Eclipse and a Piper Archer at rank 0. As you complete missions, you will unlock further aircraft.
To find where to pick up passengers from, you can type /destinations into the chat.
Once you arrive at the loading point, type /missions to get a list of 3 missions from that airport.
Some airports also have /routes which are more rewarding, but to set destinations.
To accept a mission, type the corresponding /number into chat, eg /1 for the first mission. The passengers will then be loaded up.
The chat will then indicate where to deliver them, along with the reward.
If you forget where you're going, or just want to check, you can type in /currentmission
It is important to note that passengers cannot be dumped on the runway, and must be loaded and unloaded at the terminal.
The server is now linked to live METAR, so the weather and time in-game will match real-life conditions (to some extent, at least for wind and visibility).
To check the weather, you can type in /metar in the chat.
Currently this feature is offline You can look at the real life metar for PHNL if you want to get an idea of the conditions: On METAR-TAF.com
Each airport has specific weather, so you may find as you're flying along that suddenly you enter a cloud bank.

How to get started

First, you need to download YSFLIGHT from YSFLIGHT.COM or YSFLIGHT.org (20150425 version).
Once you have downloaded YSFLIGHT, and installed it, you need to connect to the server. The address can be found on the forum:
https://forum.ysfhq.com/index.php under the server list, or see the server page at the bottom of this page.

Once you have connected to the server, you will be able to choose either a Diamond Eclipse or a Piper Archer.
You can also choosewhere you want to fly from under "Choose start position"
Once you have chosen your aircraft, and are sitting on the runway, you can type /destinations into the chat to see where you can pick up passengers from.
Once you're at your chosen destination (usually near a terminal building), you can type /missions to get a list of 3 missions from that airport.
To accept a mission, type the corresponding /number into chat, eg /1 for the first mission. The passengers will then be loaded up.
You'll see a notification in chat when you're in the right spot for loading, as long as you're stopped.
The chat will then indicate where to deliver them, along with the reward.
It is important to note that passengers cannot be dumped on the runway, and must be loaded and unloaded at the terminal.
Once you have delivered the passengers, you will be given a reward, and you can then get new passengers at that location, or fly to another
If you want to cancel a mission you've accepted, you can type /cancel.
Rewards are in ¥$, or SojiBucks, for Civilian rewards, these work towards your level progress, for combat rewards, these can be used to purchase aircraft and weapons.

Other Commands

Here are some additional commands you can use:

• /missions cargo - Shows only cargo missions
• /missions passenger - Shows only passenger missions
• /missions medical - Shows only rescue missions - Only available as a helicopter
• /missions icao 'ICAO code' - Fetches missions for a specific airport (replace 'ICAO code'' with the 4-digit ICAO code)

New for Rank 3+

There is now a metric on passenger comfort, so if you haul the aircraft around, pulling too much (or too little) G, you will receive penalties
For each incident, you will lose half of the reward. (And then half of the half if you do it again, and so on)
You will also be penalised for over banking/climbing, or stalling the aircraft. 45 degrees is the maximum angle.

How to get more aircraft

As you complete missions, and gain more money, you will unlock further aircraft.
The ranks and aircraft are likely to change in future as the server develops.

Mods

You don't have to have mods to fly here, but adding on the following mods will give you access to some more aircraft.

Able Jets Group Fleet Pack 8.0 Available here

NatComAir YS Virtual Airline Available here
Currently only using Ohana and YGL, will expand in future

This adds start positions to most airports and terminals.

Ranks

Currently there are 6 ranks, and they're dependant on the money you've made from missions.
To see how much money you've made in total (and current rank) type /money into the chat.
The ranks are:

Rank 0: ¥$0-¥$500
Rank 1: ¥$500-¥$1,000
Rank 2: ¥$1,000-¥$10,000
Rank 3: ¥$10,000-¥$50,000
Rank 4: ¥$50,000-¥$100,000
Rank 5: ¥$100,000-¥$200,000
Rank 6: ¥$200,000-¥$500,000
Rank 7: ¥$500,000-¥$1,000,000
Rank 8: ¥$1,000,000-¥$5,000,000
Rank 9: ¥$5,000,000-¥$10,000,000
Rank 10: ¥$10,000,000+

The more passengers you deliver, the more money you will make.
Rewards are based on the passenger numbers (each plane has a different capcaity), and the distance you fly.

Combat

As of YSRP2 (currently running on the server), there is air combat.
To prevent abuse, this is limited to users who have logged in with a discord account.
Go to "login" at the top to log in via discord. On the "Me" page, you will see a "Link Code" - this is your code to use in-game.
To get started, in YSFlight, log in with the username you want to link, and type /login linkcode (replace linkcode with your code)
You will then receive your aircraft. You start with WW2 aircraft, and if you have logged in and linked, you'll have access to the shop to purchase more aircraft.
Aircraft are purchasable with combat rewards, which are earned by shooting down other aircraft.

¥$500 for an AI kill

¥$1000 for a player kill

Combat is currently in beta, so there may be bugs!
Weapons are also purchasable. Guns are free, but any missiles, bombs etc, you need to purchase from the shop.
