About this addon
Your last flight should still matter tomorrow.
You fly a beautiful approach into a difficult airport. You grease the landing. And then? Nothing remembers it. The next session starts from zero, in a different aircraft, going nowhere in particular.
Pilot Journey fixes that. It is a career add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 and X-Plane 12 that runs beside the simulator and turns every flight you make into part of one continuous career. You keep flying in your sim exactly as you do now. Pilot Journey builds everything around it.
EVERY FLIGHT LEAVES A MARK
• REAL WORK, NOT RANDOM MISSIONS. Take generated charter contracts anywhere in the world, or fly ordered airline rotations with assigned aircraft, deadlines, passengers and payouts.
• THE OPERATION GOES LIVE WITH YOU. Route progress, flight phase, fuel, weather and telemetry stay in front of you while you fly, read straight from the simulator.
• AN AUTOMATIC DEBRIEF THAT READS THE WHOLE FLIGHT. Your 0-100 score combines landing quality and on-time arrival, then applies any overspeed or stall-warning deduction recorded from the simulator.
• YOU EARN ACCESS, NOT POINTS. Money, miles, reputation and ratings decide which contracts and airline seats you actually qualify for. A bad month closes doors. A good one opens them.
• CLIMB FROM SINGLE PISTON TO SUPERSONIC. Nine licence tiers, class ratings, aircraft-specific type ratings, and new and used aircraft markets that make owning an aircraft a career decision instead of a dropdown.
• YOUR AIRLINE TALKS BACK. A career inbox delivers dispatch briefings, schedule changes, recognition, warnings and decisions that belong to your career and nobody else's.
• ONE PERMANENT RECORD. Logbook, finances, reputation, licences and airline history stay connected across every session.
START WHERE YOU WANT TO START
• FROM ZERO. A fresh single-engine licence and a little money. Charter work buys the hours, the hours buy the ratings, and the ratings are what an airline asks to see.
• AS AN AIRLINE PILOT. Type-rated from day one, with a logbook to match and training debt to clear. Airlines take your application straight away.
• FROM THE CAREER LIBRARY. Step into one of 50 ready-made careers: airline captains, business jet pilots, bush and island flyers, and a few famous faces. Each one comes with ratings, hours, a logbook of recent flights, an employer or an aircraft of its own, and a flight briefed and waiting. You keep your own name, photo and callsign. Filter the library by the kind of flying you like, or show only the careers your hangar can already fly.
UP TO THREE CAREERS, SIDE BY SIDE
• THREE SLOTS, THREE PILOTS. Run an airline captain in one slot and a bush pilot in the next. Each career has its own pilot, logbook, money, fleet, ratings and mail, and switching between them takes a second or two.
• ONE CAREER PER SIM, IF YOU LIKE. Each career remembers which simulator it is flown in, and your hangar is kept per simulator, so an MSFS career and an X-Plane career each see their own aircraft.
• SHARE A CAREER. Export any career as a single file and send it to another pilot. They load it into a free slot and fly on from exactly where you left off.
A WORLD BIG ENOUGH TO DISAPPEAR INTO
9,685 airports. 11,387 runways. 17,994 radio frequencies. 230 airline profiles. 164 aircraft types. The same reference data that lets you search the world also generates your routes, your contracts, your fleet requirements and your next opportunity.
PUT THE CAREER CONSOLE WHERE YOU WANT IT
• WINDOWS, SAME PC. Pilot Journey and MSFS on one machine, connected directly through SimConnect.
• X-PLANE 12, SAME COMPUTER. On Windows or macOS, Pilot Journey reads X-Plane through its own built-in web interface. Nothing extra to install (X-Plane 12.1.1 or newer).
• WINDOWS, DUAL PC. Run the career console on a second computer. Pilot Journey Bridge relays live MSFS telemetry over your local network, so nothing competes with the simulator for resources.
• MACOS CAREER CONSOLE. Run the console on your Mac while Bridge connects to MSFS on the Windows simulator PC, or fly X-Plane 12 on the Mac itself. Full live telemetry, on Apple hardware. Requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer.
SimBrief is optional. Connect it and your OFP, filed route, schedule, cruise level, fuel figures and alternate drop straight into the briefing.
ONE LICENCE. NOTHING HELD BACK.
No mission packs. No airline tiers. No telemetry sold separately. No subscription. One purchase unlocks the complete Pilot Journey v1 career experience, and every v1 update is included, X-Plane support and the career library among them.
