You may have seen recently that we are looking for new Guide Content Writers to join the SoFly team. That search continues, but we are also on the hunt for the X-Plane experts amongst you. Namely, those of you excited by the future of X-Plane and its next generation.

The future of X-Plane promises to be a HUGE advancement on anything we’ve seen before from the team at Laminar Research. As such, we are ready to be front and centre with creating a stunning, professional and easy-to-use guide.

So if you’re wanting to help us create a truly amazing guide for the flight simulation community (and get paid for it), check out our role for Guide Content Writers below.
