VATPAC and QVirtual are teaming up to bring you a one-off event. Cue the welcoming of QVirtual 10th Birthday Bash!
Today we are celebrating 10 years of Qantas Virtual! If you like to fly IFR in a commercial jet or small turboprop, then this is the event for you. Enjoy the beautiful scenery that the QLD and NSW coast's offer within your simulators!
Information:
Today, we celebrate 10 Years since QVirtual was established, and invite members of both QVirtual and the VATSIM Community to fly between Brisbane International Airport (YBBN) and Sydney International Airport (YSSY).
Pilots can expect ATC to be online between the nominated airfields from 0600z - 1000z!
ATC can expect to apply their sequencing skills to generate a pleasant flow of traffic between the nominated airfields.
From QVirtual:
Our mission at QVirtual is to provide our pilots with the most accurate and realistic experience as possible. We achieve this by simulating the day-to-day operations of Qantas and its codeshare partners. Our schedule system contains over 36000+ schedules that gives pilots the opportunity to fly to all continents.
We also simulate a pilot training academy where numerous courses are available for those who are willing to extend their love or knowledge for aviation through a better understanding of it as a whole.
Keep your eye out for the QVirtual pilots flying out of YLRE the 'Spiritual' home of Qantas
Routes:
We recommend the following routes for you to fly during this event; however, you are more than welcome to fly to different aerodromes within the coverage area!

If not using live weather, please be mindful of others who are using live weather and will be taking off and landing into the wind.

GPS flight plan is available for FSX/P3D .pln, MFS2020 .pln, X-Plane .fms and Little Navmap.
Navigation: Pilots are encouraged to navigate visually. For those less familiar the GPS flight plan is the recommended method of navigation.
Communications
Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. During an event, Pilots are requested to broadcast intentions on the published CTAF. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM CoC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor UNICOM on 122.800. Pilots should ensure that at least one of their radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive UNICOM transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF.
Pilots also should read this post regarding the implications of using VATSIM UNICOM for CTAF. It provides some insight into potential pitfalls for the unwary when monitoring 122.80 in a CTAF environment.
Scenery
Due to the plethora of simulation platforms now being used, scenery is left to the discretion of each pilot.
