T-211
Thorp T-211 is a light sport aircraft designed in the United States by aircraft designer John Thorp. Its origins date back to 1944/1945 with first flight in 1946. When Thorp developed the aircraft as a small two-seat machine called the Sky Scooter. The T-211 features a low-wing monoplane configuration, fixed tricycle landing gear, no differential Brakes and a sliding canopy.

Thorp T-211 is a light sport aircraft designed in the United States by aircraft designer John Thorp. Its origins date back to 1944/1945 with first flight in 1946. When Thorp developed the aircraft as a small two-seat machine called the Sky Scooter. The T-211 features a low-wing monoplane configuration, fixed tricycle landing gear, no differential Brakes and a sliding canopy.
Development continued after World War II, and Thorp built eight prototypes. Early aircraft were powered by 65-horsepower Lycoming engines, while later versions used more powerful Continental O-200 engines. The T-211 featured a distinctive corrugated wing structure, which increased stiffness while reducing the number of internal ribs and rivets required.
The T-211 is 18 feet (5. 49 meters) long, with a wingspan of 25 feet (7. 62 meters) and a wing area of 105 square feet (9. 75 square meters). With a 100-horsepower Continental O-200 engine and two-bladed McCauley fixed pitch propeller, it has a maximum speed of approximately 155 mph (135 kts), a cruise speed of about 120 mph (100 kts), and a range of approximately 375 nm (694 km). These characteristics make the T-211 an interesting example of a compact American light aircraft whose design has remained relevant through several generations of homebuilt and light-sport aviation.

• FLIGHT MAP
Follow the aircraft in 2D or 3D, bring in your SimBrief route and check the next FIX. Move from an ocean crossing to an airport surface, with airport, navigation and ATC information close at hand.
• SATELLITE MAP
Switch to satellite imagery to explore the terrain around the airport. Use 2D for a broad overview or 3D for a different perspective. Imagery availability and detail vary by region.
• IFR APPROACH TRAINING
Choose the airport, runway, approach, STAR and transition, then select your starting FIX. Inspect the procedure on the map and adjust the training legs before you fly. Aircraft preparation features depend on the supported aircraft.
• VISUAL AND FLARE PRACTICE
Set up a visual intercept, downwind or flare practice position. Spend more of the session on the part you want to improve, rather than repeating the whole flight.
• REPOSITION AND PRESETS
Move to a runway, taxiway or gate, or choose custom coordinates and attitude. Save reusable session presets for your next practice. Repositioning prepares a starting point; it does not restore the complete aircraft or weather state.
• FOLLOW THE GREEN
Enter the taxiway sequence you want to follow and see it highlighted in green. Review the route in 2D or 3D before moving across the airport. The route follows your selection and is not an ATC clearance.
• PRECISION RECORDING
Record the approach for a closer review of flight path, airspeed, vertical speed, G force and pitch. Capture the moments around flare, throttle idle and touchdown, then open the session in Debrief or Replay.
• 3D DEBRIEF
See the measurements behind the result. Compare the planned approach with the recorded track, inspect touchdown and bounce, and find the observations behind each deduction. The colored trace helps locate the parts worth revisiting.
• SYNCHRONIZED REPLAY
Scrub through the timeline or select a graph point. The map, recorded PFD, aircraft attitude and graphs follow the same moment, making it easier to see when the approach changed. Replay moves the review cursor; it does not move the simulator aircraft.
• LOGBOOK AND REPORTS
Find previous sessions in Logbook and return to their reports. Keep detailed results as PDF, offline HTML or CSV, with approach guides, path maps and touchdown details. Reports can also be reviewed on a phone.
• PILOT TEST
Follow spoken and onscreen instructions, then review the measurements for each exercise. See where a climb or turn met the target and where it needs another try. Pilot Test is simulation practice, not a certified pilot assessment.
• CDU/MCDU AND MCP/FCU
View and operate the supported aircraft CDU or MCDU through the companion interface. Aircraft-specific preparation tools help with selected workflows; available controls vary by aircraft.
• PC, PHONE AND TABLET
Use a paired companion while the PC host runs beside MSFS 2024. Only the host requires a purchase key.
• COMPATIBILITY
MSFS 2024 is supported; MSFS 2020 and PSX compatibility is not confirmed. Aircraft add-ons are sold separately. Aircraft-specific integrations include PMDG 737/777, default 747-8 and iFly 737 MAX 8. Fenix approach preparation is experimental. iniBuilds A350 supports selected FCU/KCCU controls, not full FMS preparation or MFD mirroring. Direct Navigraph integration is not supported. Map route import does not automatically load every aircraft FMC. Some demonstration images use simulated telemetry with simulator navigation data. For flight simulation only, not real-world navigation or certified training.
• Latest development highlights — 2026-10-07
Development update · 7 October 2026. These improvements have been implemented locally; inclusion in the public installer or update channel has not yet been confirmed. Availability depends on the installed build.
• In-game Control / Monitor modes: prepare an approach and access FMC / MCP, recording, Pilot Test and hold controls from the MSFS panel. Monitor mode keeps flight values and training status in a compact display with adjustable background opacity.
• PMDG 737-900 preparation: improved PERF / approach selection, both NAV radios and course settings, MCP target verification and AP / APP / FD reset handling. Checked in the RKSS runway 32R to 32L preparation scenario.
• ASOBO / Working Title 747-8 preparation: improved airport and approach selection, starting-FIX / LEGS sequencing, ILS frequency / course verification and FD / MCP setup. RKSI ILS34R automatic CDU entry was recorded and checked against actual aircraft values.
• Fenix A320 experimental preparation: verified landing configuration FULL, ZFW / CG, VLS / VAPP, route / ILS, FD / LS and selected FCU targets in the RKSI ILS34R scenario. Altitude input settling was corrected for the checked aircraft.
Verification covers the named aircraft and scenarios, not every model or procedure. Fenix weather / minima / AP engagement readiness remains unverified. A separate 747 RKSI ILS15LY course mismatch remains unresolved. These checks do not certify autoland, complete landing automation or captured LOC / GS reset. Optional FMC preparation failure does not block repositioning.
• More tools for reviewing and repeating a flight
Feature roundup through 7 October 2026. Availability and recorded instrument detail depend on the installed build and the data in each recording. Android guest features described below are in the local review candidate; Google Play public availability is not confirmed here.
• Recorded PFD: review Boeing-style rectangular or Airbus-style rounded instruments alongside the map and graphs. Auto/manual style, collapse and touch-friendly enlargement are available. IAS, GS, altitude, AGL height, V/S, attitude, heading, recorded targets and VREF follow the selected replay sample.
• Instrument data stays honest: recorded LOC / GS receiver indications appear only when valid data exists. Older recordings retain their available fields. AGL is not radio altitude, and unavailable FMA, FD commands, QNH, ILS identifier or DME are not invented. This is a recorded-data reconstruction, not a manufacturer display or certified instrument.
• Evidence-based debrief: inspect observed values, criteria, timing and duration behind deductions, including 1000 / 500 ft stabilization gates. ILS, LOC, RNAV / RNP and visual approaches use their applicable verified references. Coverage and unscored items distinguish missing data from poor flying.
• Synchronized review workspace: map, two configurable telemetry graphs and replay cursor share the same moment. Choose metrics, units, axis limits and time windows; inspect flare, throttle-idle and touchdown events. Significant scored deviation episodes receive an X marker at their worst point; missing data remains a gap.
• Review, then repeat: jump the review cursor to ten seconds before a problem or use Reposition here for a separate retraining action. Retraining requires the same aircraft, a valid airborne sample of at least 50 ft AGL, a fresh connection and no active recording. Supported position, attitude and settings are approximated; Freeze remains held.
• Compare like-for-like sessions: align graphs to touchdown and compare aircraft, runway, procedure, policy and available weight, flap, reference-speed and weather metadata. Review condition-filtered trends and daily / weekly / monthly bests. Unknown historical conditions are not silently treated as an exact match.
• Detailed approach and Pilot Test documents: retain flight-path maps, approach guides, touchdown close-ups, per-exercise targets, errors and deduction evidence as PDF, standalone offline HTML, full-measurement CSV and source JSON. Automatic generation, regeneration, job status / retry and Android save-location selection support keeping the result.
• Route briefing and LEG editing: inspect the next FIX, remaining distance, planned altitude, ETE / UTC ETA and turn information; edit FIX and altitude / speed restriction semantics. Optional geometric descent and deceleration references use disclosed assumptions. Imported plans and these estimates are not the aircraft active FMC leg or performance-based VNAV.
• Map control and information: north / track / heading views, look-ahead, free pan / return to aircraft and optional phase-based zoom memory. Airport, runway, FIX, ATC and traffic cards expose source and freshness; current local wind can be shown as runway headwind / crosswind components. Layer profiles and route-related ATC / traffic decluttering help keep the map readable.
• Connected taxi routes and sharing: enter a taxiway sequence, choose a start / end when needed, and draw only connected simulator facility segments. Explicit Share / Load lets PC and mobile use the route with revision conflict checks. Progress is manual; a green route is not an ATC clearance or automatic taxi command.
• Globe and map appearance: wide-area 3D uses a globe and close-up airport views return to a local projection; 2D remains available. Adjust trace / track thickness, trace opacity, FIX point / label size, restriction visibility and deviation-X size / visibility, with saved preferences and group reset.
• Pilot Test progression: move from single targets to paired targets and coordinated altitude / speed / heading changes, including steep turns. Spoken and onscreen instructions, target capture, stable hold, simultaneous onset and balanced progress feed per-exercise results and error graphs. This is simulator practice, not an official checkride.
• Android offline guest candidate: Explore without connection opens the actual bundled client screens with an isolated virtual Host, synthetic PHNL route, replay / PFD, local MCP / CDU, Pilot Test and sample documents. It is an interactive preview, not a simulator or live avionics session; real navigation, traffic, weather and aircraft functions still need the Windows Host.
Map references do not replace charts or real-world navigation. Replay reconstruction and retraining do not restore complete FMC, add-on internal state or weather. Online coverage varies; missing historical measurements are not fabricated. These features do not certify an aircraft or pilot, guarantee zero simulator performance cost or confirm Google Play release.
• Approach preparation and Settings improvements — 12 October 2026
These improvements are included in the Host 1. 3. 3 in-app update published on 12 October 2026. New installs start with the retained Host 1. 3. 1 Setup and update in the app. Aircraft-specific verification scope is described below.
• Settings and report management: Tablet pairing is the first Settings card. A compact report card further down opens the document-report library and options in a separate dialog with bounded scrolling, Escape dismissal and focus return. Saved reports no longer extend the Settings page ahead of connection setup.
• ASOBO / Working Title 747-8 MCP altitude: Selected-altitude input now addresses the aircraft's active MCP altitude slot. The RKSI rehearsal verified an actual 1,600 ft selection on the MCP and PFD rather than relying only on a generic simulator readback.
• PMDG route and instrument preparation: Route scanning now waits for fresh ACT LEGS data and checks page progress. PMDG 777 preparation waits for powered, current CDU and MCP data before applying commands. Aircraft-specific flight-director settings are preserved through automatic FMC/MCP preparation. The recorded RKSI runway 34R and 34L scenarios include actual FMC/MCP readback.
• Fenix A320 experimental approach preparation: The exact ENTER DEST DATA advisory is acknowledged once and the scratchpad is checked before selecting FULL on PERF APPR. FULL and computed VLS/VAPP are checked against MCDU data; unexpected scratchpad messages stop the affected step. Direct-route verification accepts a fresh T-P turning-point entry only when the requested FIX follows it, while retaining the full route scan. Weather, minima and autopilot readiness still require verification.
• Speed restoration when resuming: After an airborne approach or custom reposition, saved indicated airspeed and vertical speed are reapplied before unfreezing or resuming a full pause. Restoration is limited to the same aircraft and session; legacy TAS inputs remain separate. A PMDG 777 test restored a 185 kt request to approximately 184 kt immediately after release. This is speed restoration: it does not reset accumulated autopilot servo inputs or guarantee attitude stability after every freeze.
• Remote CDU controls: Updated mappings distinguish PMDG 737 Classic/FANS layouts and PMDG 777 FMC COMM controls, with aircraft-generation checks on input. Automated mapping and protocol checks passed; these checks do not establish every aircraft layout's simulator validation.
Aircraft-specific preparation remains limited to supported workflows and the named tested scenarios. Optional FMC preparation failure does not block repositioning. The screenshots are actual simulator/application views under the recorded conditions; no complete aircraft-state restoration, autoland, complete Fenix readiness or universal freeze-attitude fix is claimed.
• Windows distribution update — 12 October 2026: Host 1. 3. 3 is published through the in-app update channel. New installations use the existing Host 1. 3. 1 Setup, then update within the app. Use the separate Windows Client 1. 3. 3 Setup when needed. The earlier Client 1. 3. 2 and 1. 3. 1 downloads are retained as previous versions. Host 1. 3. 3 improves signed-package verification compatibility for existing 1. 3. 1 installations. The preceding dated development notes describe aircraft verification scope.
• Actual instrument recording — 15 October 2026
Host 1. 3. 8 adds optional actual GPU instrument recording for PMDG 737, PMDG 777 and Asobo / Working Title 747 in MSFS 2024. Select PFD, ND and Engine / EICAS, arrange screens in one to three columns, and review the timestamp-linked video alongside the map and telemetry graphs. The existing data-reconstructed PFD remains separate.
Recording is off by default. Choose automatic approach / pilot-test recording or manual start and stop. Standard uses 512 pixels per screen; Clear text uses 768 pixels, targeting up to 15 fps depending on actual instrument updates. Hardware H. 264 is stored in fragmented MP4 with timestamp metadata. A compatible hardware encoder and the supplied capture setup are required. Source-built ReShade runtime and full third-party notices are included in the Windows update payload; simulator deployment is explicit with MSFS closed and preserves existing proxy installations.
Actual three-screen recordings and browser replay were checked for the three supported profiles. The illustrated PMDG 777 ILS approach shows actual recorded instruments, a map and graphs. The manual recording is raw and unscored; genuine aircraft messages remain visible. A bounded 777 run recorded 95. 23 seconds at 10. 43 fps with zero reported recording drops, including a separate OBS coexistence check. These checks do not establish zero performance overhead, guaranteed 15 fps, full-flight coverage or completion of a normal aircraft checklist.
Distribution: Host 1. 3. 8 is now available through the verified in-app update channel. Retain the existing Host installer and use the in-app update channel when 1. 3. 8 is offered. The separate Windows Client remains version 1. 3. 6. Older installer downloads and dated feature history are retained. No new Host 1. 3. 8 installer is supplied by this UpdateOnly build.
Screenshot note: the new PC, tablet and phone layouts show actual PMDG777 instrument replay during a stabilized ILS approach, synchronized with the map and graphs. These are responsive application captures of a manual, unscored recording. Genuine center fuel-pump and FMC messages are preserved.

FWX Heli Flight Dynamics & Rotor Effects: the flight dynamics add-on for every helicopter in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with rotor shadow and rotor blade haptics
The helicopter no longer holds itself in the hover. It comes alive under the pilot and wants to be flown.
What is this package? Three add-ons for helicopters in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with the flight dynamics at their heart. It does not move the camera, it moves the machine: every reaction is generated in the same moment from the simulator's flight data and your control inputs. The simulator's flight model is not replaced, it stays in force. The flight dynamics work on every helicopter, the rotor shadow on seven types, and the rotor blade haptics work through an audio device in your seat.
The flight dynamics: the hover and the flight becomes work again
Over the spot you are aiming for, the machine no longer holds itself there. It wants to be held, and it shows you that every second. Pitch, roll and climb follow the actual attitude of the aircraft, and your control inputs have an immediate effect on its behavior.
Seamlessly on into translational flight
The transition from the hover into translational flight is seamless, with no jump and no switching. Every direction is treated the same way: forward, sideways, backward. The aerodynamic influences and the pilot's influences become clearly noticeable.
Everything happens in the same moment
Airspeed, attitude, control deflection: every reaction is generated continuously from the simulator's flight data and your inputs, at every moment of the flight. Nothing is pre-calculated, nothing is played back.
The simulator's flight model stays in force
We do not replace it. It keeps calculating exactly as intended, our technology reads those values and adds extra motion on top. Everything is executed by the simulator itself. The original data is left untouched.
Tuned to your machine and your taste
You decide how far it goes, and you decide it in flight. That applies to every helicopter in the simulator, including types from other developers.
- Strength infinitely variable from zero to full, at any second of the flight
- Each axis can be switched on individually
- Hover and forward flight can be adjusted separately
- Profiles you can save for each helicopter type
- Tested presets for the simulator's own types, your own values for helicopters from other developers
- The factory setting can be restored per helicopter at any time
Also in the package: the rotor shadow, the shadow add-on for seven types
This part brings the shadow of the turning rotor back to where the simulator drops it. On seven well-known types it is there at first and then disappears completely above a certain rotor speed. For exactly those seven the package brings it back, following the rotor speed: on the ground, on the fuselage and on the surroundings, tilting with the machine, main and tail rotor shown separately instead of one dark blob. Each of the seven types has been calibrated individually for it.
- Airbus H125
- Airbus H135 (EC135)
- Airbus H225
- Guimbal Cabri G2
- Robinson R66
- Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
- Boeing CH-47 Chinook, both rotors
Also in the package: the rotor blade haptics, which make the rotor felt in your seat
The haptics make the rotor felt in your own body. They send the rotor beats as deep pulses to an audio device that works in the seat or on the seat frame and that Windows recognizes as a playback device. So you do not just hear the rotor, you feel it, and every type feels different.
In detail: instead of a uniform hum that feels like a washing machine, you feel every single blade passage. The beat follows the real rotor speed, with two to eight pulses per revolution depending on the type, from the two-bladed R66 to the six-bladed S-64 Skycrane.
All of the simulator's stock helicopters are included automatically, you do not have to set anything up for that. On helicopters from other developers the haptics detect the rotor blades on their own, and anyone who still wants to do it themselves can set them by hand there. Without such an audio device, though, there is nothing to feel. If you do not want to use the haptics, you leave them off and still have the full package.
Based on our market overview, there is currently nothing for MSFS 2024 that makes helicopter flight behavior more immersive and adjustable in this form.
Reviewed by SimFlight, Threshold, MSFS Addons and MSFS Gateway.
What it cannot do
- It does not replace any flight model and does not rewrite any flight model files.
- The flight dynamics work on helicopters only, not on airplanes.
- The rotor shadow works on the seven types listed only, all others are left untouched.
- The UH-1 and the Bell 407 do not need it, they have their rotor shadow out of the box.
- For the haptics you need an audio device in the seat or on the seat frame that Windows recognizes as a playback device. Without such an audio device there is nothing to feel.
- The pulses go to that audio device as an audio signal, not to your speakers.
- This package changes nothing about the simulator's sound.
Works with your other add-ons
- Compatible with ChasePlane and FSRealistic: those two work on camera and sound, this package works on the flight behavior underneath. Camera tools apply their values on top, undisturbed.
- No changes to the aircraft files.
- Runs alongside your own liveries and other utilities.
- Requires Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Operated from the toolbar inside the simulator, in mid-flight
A full control panel sits in the simulator's toolbar, exactly where you open every other panel as well. One click and it is in the cockpit in front of you. In the FWX Manager each of the three add-ons has its own tab, each with a master switch and the sliders below it. Every slider takes effect immediately, without a restart. No second window, no switching to the desktop.
VR compatible
In virtual reality everything works exactly the same, because we move the machine and not the picture. And because the panel sits inside the simulator, it stays reachable with the headset on: adjust in flight without taking the headset off.
Installation and uninstallation
Installation runs through a click-through installer, and the package then starts automatically with the simulator. You can uninstall in two ways: through our own FWX application or through the Windows program list.
Updates
Free updates, new features included. If another helicopter without a rotor shadow appears in the simulator, it is added free of charge with an update.
Also available as a bundle
These three add-ons are also available together with our sound pack, and the sound pack is available on its own:
- FWX HELICOPTER ALL-IN-ONE BUNDLE MSFS24: everything from this package plus the EC135 Real Turbine Sound Mod.
- FWX EC135 REAL TURBINE SOUND MOD MSFS24: the turbine sound of the EC135, works on that type only.

Passenger-first charter career for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 / 2024 (PC)
Published by Integrate Systems

Give every flight a reason to exist.
Flight Horizon is a career companion that sits beside MSFS 2020 / 2024 and turns free flight into an owner-pilot charter operation. You name the company, choose a home base, buy a light aircraft, and take real people — and freight — from A to B. How you fly matters: smoothness, weather, boarding, and the landing all feed passenger happiness, which feeds pay, reputation, and the next contract.
It is not a shared online airline and there is no monthly fee or MMO economy. Your career lives on your PC. You fly whatever you load in the sim; Flight Horizon owns the jobs, the money, the hangar, and the story around the flight. When you want company, Flight Lounge lets friends join for a light co-op hop or a shared cockpit — optional, session-based, not a persistent multiplayer world.
A Windows companion is the ops desk. An in-sim toolbar panel keeps the loop in the cockpit. Mock Sim lets you learn the career with the sim closed; Live MSFS hooks SimConnect when you are ready to fly for real.
The career
You start as a Student Charter operator on local hops and short scenic loops. Reputation and hours unlock the ladder:
- Student Charter (STU) — local hops and sightseeing (up to about 150 nm; scenic loops shorter)
- Private Charter (PPL) — longer range, Cargo Lite, challenge jobs, longer scenic work
- Commercial Light (CPL) — priority and medical charters
- Senior Charter (SEN) — six-seat aircraft on the market
- Airline Charter (ATPL) — multi-leg tour contracts
Each rank is earned, not bought. Hour gates can be left at the defaults (10 / 40 / 100 / 250 hours) or set in Settings if you want a slower or faster career.
Cash, reputation, airborne hours, fleet condition, and the ledger persist between sessions.
The job board
Contracts are generated from real airport geography, not a fixed mission list. Refresh the board whenever you want a new day’s work.
Job types (unlocked as you progress):
- Air taxi — the bread-and-butter passenger hop
- Sightseeing — scenic loops with paying passengers
- Cargo Lite — freight, no passengers
- Challenge — higher risk, danger money if you fly the required approach well
- Priority — time-sensitive charters, better pay
- Medical — patient transfer; the airframe has to be in decent condition
- Multi-leg — tour contracts once you hold Airline Charter
Each contract shows estimated net pay, weather (VFR day, VFR night, IFR), urgency, required approach, and payload. Filter by this airport for continuous legs, or by approach: Any, VFR, non-precision, or ILS.
Open a full briefing before you accept: route, payload, scheduled depart time, origin and destination notes. Incoming charters also ring the company phone — unsolicited offers that land in the inbox and on the board.
Accept a job and it locks to the hangar aircraft you took it on. You fly that type. Cancel if you must — it costs reputation.
Night VFR is not flavour text. When you start the job flight, Flight Horizon can set the sim clock to the scheduled local departure.
Dispatch, cabin, and the flight
A typical live sortie:
- Accept the contract
- Optional SimBrief OFP (username in Settings; SID/STAR can import into the plan)
- Exterior walk-around — eight items; camera can jump outside or into the cockpit
- Boarding — timed, with a live seat map, personalities, and happiness
- Fly the route in MSFS
- Arrival auto-completes when you are at the destination with brake or door (optional)
- Debrief — happiness, touchdown, gross, tips, costs, danger money, reputation, cash
Passengers are the product. Happiness is not a pass/fail landing flag. It moves with the flight, and it moves the payout: poor trips pay less, excellent trips pay more and can add tips. Challenge jobs can add danger money when the approach matches and the cabin is still smiling.
Ground ops from the companion (live sim): parking brake, cabin door, pushback (left / straight / right), jetway or stairs, GPU, fuel truck with a cash-capped top-up. Divert mid-flight to a new ICAO if the day goes sideways. Open a passenger manifest when you want names on paper.
Optional cabin SFX and spoken crew PA follow boarding state. Career speed 1× / 2× / 4× shortens boarding, mock flights, and crew ETAs without touching the sim’s own rate.
Flight Lounge (fly with friends)
Open Co-op from the companion sidenav when you want another pilot in the day — not a shared persistent world, just your charter and your crew for this flight.
- Light co-op — same route, each of you in your own aircraft; shared briefing and voice; co-pilot can earn a crew share when the host completes
- Shared cockpit — one aircraft, dual MSFS; captain hosts physics; co-pilot flies the right seat; mid-flight Offer / Request / Reclaim
- Open lobbies — browse public rooms, or join a private room with a squawk code
- Passengers — up to four ride-along seats in shared mode (voice and chat, no controls)
- Crew voice and lobby chat built in; view the mission plan on the same map style as Dispatch
- Optional license-restricted seats so the FO matches the contract aircraft
Hangar and the market
Ownership is economic. You buy catalog types — C172-class, DA40-class, and six-seat airframes once you are Senior — or optionally pull in aircraft installed in your Community and Official folders.
The hangar tracks:
- Photos, seats, hours, condition
- Assigned crew
- Wear bands and “service soon / required”
- A maintenance reserve that accrues in the air and is spent when you pay for a service quote
- Sell price that follows condition
Rentals are available too: deposit, prepaid days, then daily rent. Return the aircraft and the deposit can take a hit if you brought it back tired.
Medical work will not go out on a wreck. If condition is too low, that contract stays on the ground.
Daily hangar, insurance, and crew wages come off automatically. The ledger is a proper cash book: credits in green, debits in red — payouts, fuel, landing, hangar, insurance, wages, hire fees, rent, cargo, sales.
Crew
Hiring unlocks at reputation 10. The board shows adverts with skill, wage, hire fee, and a generated resume — hours, types, employers, incident record, portrait.
Hire them, assign them to a rated hangar aircraft, or release them. Dispatch a hired pilot onto a board contract instead of flying it yourself. They appear on the Home live ops map, spawn as AI traffic in MSFS (or in Mock Sim), fly the route, and come home with payout, hours, and sometimes a license upgrade.
Cargo
Private Charter opens Cargo Lite jobs and the freight desk. Refresh standalone lots from home base, taxi into the pickup zone (~20 m, brake set), load, pay handling, and deliver at the destination for cash and reputation. Cargo Lite on a booked job can auto-load when boarding starts. In live MSFS, ramp cargo can spawn as world objects.
Home and the phone
The companion Home page is the ops snapshot: license ladder with aircraft glyphs, cash, reputation, hours, active aircraft and condition, maintenance reserve, flights logged, fleet value, and the live map of you and crew.
The phone is incoming charters only — unread badge, open to brief, mark one or all read. Toasts cover unlocks, walk-around complete, flight complete, daily costs, crew arrivals, wear, and live SimConnect.
In-sim panel
With the companion running, install the Community toolbar package and open Flight Horizon from the MSFS 2020 in-flight toolbar. The same loop is available in a browser at the local panel URL.
Panel pages: Home, Jobs, Dispatch, Cabin, Phone, Crew, Debrief, Status.
From the cockpit you can accept work, start the job flight, walk around, board, load the flight plan, trigger SimBrief, hire from adverts, take a rental, and read the debrief. Full hangar service, cargo desk, market, ledger, and settings stay in the companion — the panel is for flying the day, not running the company accounts.
Mock Sim and Live MSFS
Mock Sim — no simulator required. Scripted taxi, climb, cruise, and land so you can learn jobs, boarding, money, and crew without waiting on weather.
Live MSFS — SimConnect. Real telemetry (IAS, VS, altitude, fuel), plan load, clock set, cameras, ground ops, fuel quantity, cargo props, AI crew. If live fails, the companion can fall back to mock.
Switch from the sidebar whenever you want.

What’s included
- Flight Horizon Companion (Windows desktop ops hub)
- MSFS 2020 in-sim toolbar panel (Community package)
- Browser / tablet panel served by the companion
- Flight Lounge co-op (light co-op and shared cockpit; optional)
- Local career save (no account, no always-online requirement for solo play; co-op needs a short online session)
Who it is for
Pilots who want a charter company of their own: a job on the board, passengers who care how you fly, a hangar that wears out, crew you can send while you fly something else, a panel in the cockpit so you are not alt-tabbing for every decision — and, when you want, a friend in the right seat or on the same route.
If you want a persistent shared world with strangers and a global MMO economy, this is not that. If you want a reason to start the Cessna this evening, still have a company in the morning, and sometimes open the Lounge for a mate — this is.
