Before you play
Before you start playing you should know it is mandatory to have read the LFS Terms of Service. If you are breaking rules you will also be punished by staff, even if you haven't read the ToS. If you see someone breaking rules you can report them here.
The server is heavily focused on voice chat, you can turn this on in settings. To open the general menu, press F1. In there you can spawn planes, change your character, change frequencies. You should also know you can Noclip by pressing F2. You can see all keybinds here.
Spawning a plane
We have over 250 different custom planes on our server. To spawn a plane, Noclip (F2) to an available gate. Go to F1 Menu > Related Options > Vehicle Spawner > Addon Vehicles > Planes
. Then spawn the plane that you wish to fly. It is important that you are in Noclip (F2) when you are spawning the plane to not disturb others.
Then line the plane up on the gate. Press F2 to turn noclip off and you are almost ready to fly.
Contacting ATC
Before you can start taking to the skies you will have to contact ATC. ATC stands for Air Traffic Controller and is controlling all the traffic on the airport. ATC's are not always online and the procedures when ATC is online and offline are different. You can see if ATC is online on the airport you are at on the ATC status on the bottom left. We have a detailed document on how to contact ATC. You can find it here. When ATC is Offline it is called, Unicom. Then you will have to state what you are going to do in the ATC frequency, you don't need to request it.
