1A.1 Discord Communication #
Tip
: Infinite Flight app related issues can be discussed within the Airport Editing Discord Channels for advice; however, for official support, the IFC Forum must{.red} be used
General #
1A.1.1 #
Discord is a messenger app for teams to make work simpler, more pleasant and more productive. More information on how this app works can be found here.
1A.1.2 #
The channels and their use is outlined in the table below:
Channel | Purpose |
---|---|
#airport-assignment | For Editors of the rank Apprentice to request airport assignments. An Airport Moderator or Reviewer will then assign an airport to the Editor |
#announcements | Day to day posts (such as housekeeping) to be made in this channel by Staff and Moderators only |
#general | This is a channel for active Editors to engage in discussion regarding Scenery Editing, Infinite Flight, and aviation |
#help | If Editors require support that cannot be found elsewhere, they can ask for it in this channel. Other Editors must{.red} only comment if they are 100% sure of the answer. If they are in doubt, they must{.red} leave this for Airport Moderators or Reviewers to respond to instead |
#offtopic | This is a channel to discuss things unrelated to Airport Editing or Infinite Flight. All conversations should{.red} remain appropriate. #offtopic is a privilege and all members are subject to removal at any time if misused. This is for active members only |
#request-peer-review | For Editors to be able to review each other’s airports before it is submitted for Official Review. Editors must{.red} ensure that their airport is nearing completion before requesting a peer review and must{.red} provide the airport ICAO when making a request. Peer reviews are optional but highly recommended (see 11.1.3 below) |
#sas | Request satellite imagery of your airport here |
#server-rules | Highlights the rules of the Airport Editing Discord server |
Voice Channels #
1A.1.3 #
Voice Channels (VCs) must{.red} only be used in accordance with the Discord Rules (see 1A.2.1 below).
1A.1.4 #
The use of VCs is not required{.red} and is at the sole discretion of the Editors seeking help or that want to have a conversation with fellow Editors about airport editing. Editors who wish to observe others in a VC for educational purposes may ONLY do so if ALL operational Editors in the VC have given consent. Observers must not{.red} distract from the active conversation and should{.red} remain muted.
1A.1.5 #
To open a VC, the following steps are to be followed:
Step 1
: Open the Airport Editing Discord and using the navigation bar on the left side of the screen, find the “Editing” tab
Step 2
: Under this, click the “help” or “general” VC* (represented with a speaker symbol next to it)
*Coordination with other Editors should{.red} be done in the respective Discord channel (i.e. #help or #general) before entering a VC
1A.1.6 #
Below are some useful tips for VCs:
- You can see how many members currently occupy a VC at any time by noting the [00/10] channel count
- Selecting “Mute” (microphone symbol) means no one can hear you
- Selecting “Deafen” (headphones symbol) means you don’t hear anyone else
- Always double check your sound settings (i.e. Input = Mic and Output = Speaker)
- Connecting to a VC will act much like a phone call and can run in the background whilst editing
