Necessities:
- Know how to make a flight plan. This helps a lot. XP is earned from landing, and it is very hard to get to an airport without a flight plan. You can see a flight planning tutorial here: http://www.infiniteflight.tk/p/flight-planning.html
- Know how to do a full flight: http://www.infiniteflight.tk/2014/10/full-flight-tutorial.html
- Infinite Flight uses a Unicom ATC system, where there is no air traffic controller but aircrafts announcing there positions. To work the system, there is an atc button, which pops up with many options to send to your current frequency. Further reading: http://www.infiniteflight.tk/2014/07/atc-tutorial.html
- There is usually crosswinds in Live, as it utilises real life weather. Learn how to deal with crosswinds here: http://www.infiniteflight.tk/p/basic-tutorials.html
- I recommend avoiding KHAF until you get your standing up. That airport is a mess, and is waiting for XP drop to happen. It is also one of the worst airport to start because of its location.
- There is almost always crosswinds. Crosswind Takeoff Tutorial Crosswind Landing
Infinite Flight Live uses a XP based system. XP can be raised through flight hours, or landings. Your XP determines your standing, which gives you access to airports and cuts out airspace violations. Your XP and standing can go down, by violations, which will be discussed later in this post.
People with a red name tag means they are complete nubs and don't fly properly. You can get a red name tag if you keep doing violations. People with yellow name tags mean they have a standing of less than 50%, which is the starting standing count. People with a white name tag has a standing from 50% to 99%. People with green name tags all have a standing of 100%.
Note: If you have a standing of more than 90%, it gives you access to advanced servers, which appears from time to time.
Server Selections
By default, you are selected to join a random server. You can view the servers by pressing the server list. You can switch servers by pressing on a server and pressing select server. This is very important if you want to do a formation flight.
Violations
Violations causes your standing to go down. The following can cause violations:
- Taxiing too fast. Do not taxi faster than 35 knots ground speed. (found in the HUD)
- Using an aircraft too big in an airport
- Crashing
- Overspeeding. Do not exceed 250 knots under 10,000 feet.
- Doing aerobatics in vicinity of an airport.
- Airspace violations
How to raise standings fast
The best way of doing this is by doing touch and goes. Hop in a Cessna 208 (or 172) and take off from one airport to another. Upon landing, take off immediately then circle around to land again. By doing this, you are earning XP and raising your standing. Smooth landings give more XP than rough landings. Make sure you do no violations.
Formation Flights
Formation flights is when you fly with another person (or people), with both your aircrafts being close. To do formation flights, arrange a meet up in an airport and server. Also state the cruising altitude, speed and arrival airport. You can copy flight plans, by going to the FPL+INFO page and tapping on the other's aircraft. Then press Copy FPL.
