JoinFS

One of the biggest problems encountered by people taking part in group flights is being able to see each other within the simulator. JoinFS provides a free solution for that. It transmits your position to the internet, and allows others running JoinFS to then see you within their simulator too. It works across many of the popular simulators, meaning people can fly together in different simulators, and see each other's aircraft.
