The planned sequence of missions follows the order displayed on the mission screen. After the Unrestricted Flight, the next missions will include airplane rental, scheduled flight, pilot day, and a tour. This order may change based on the implementation logic, with some missions potentially released simultaneously. The goal is to continuously add new missions, ensuring a steady stream of content for players.

SimFly isn't setting a fixed limit on licenses. The price will increase from $58 to $79 when PAX tokens are introduced. SimFly will monitor user activity to balance license availability. They want to ensure that early supporters can resell licenses at a profit while maintaining steady demand. As the community grows, more licenses may be introduced to prevent excessive price increases. The goal is to maintain a balance where demand slightly exceeds supply, allowing for a healthy marketplace for both new and experienced users.

No, it is not possible to sell assets directly to the SimFly Bank. Instead, assets can only be sold to other users through the User Marketplace or via Blockchain, if they are NFTs. This system ensures a fair market-driven price for the assets, as prices are determined by supply and demand among users. Additionally, utilizing the User Marketplace and Blockchain adds a layer of security and transparency to each transaction. While selling directly to the SimFly Bank might seem convenient, the current model is designed to encourage user interaction and a dynamic trading environment.

Our goal is to avoid such errors, and we greatly appreciate your reports as they help us improve the system. In response to your question, in the future, there will likely be an option to open a dispute for a canceled mission so it can be reviewed with appropriate verifications. We are also recording flights with mission cancellations due to anomalies, so it may be possible to validate a canceled mission in the future. When such errors occur, pilots should report the issue with proof of their flight details, as you did. SimFly will review these reports and take necessary actions to ensure that valid flights are recognized. We are continuously working on refining the system to minimize these errors and to provide a seamless experience for our users.

Currently, it is not possible to delegate management of assets like airports or airplanes to other players. In the future, SimFly plans to introduce features allowing multiple owners to manage large assets collectively, with decisions made by majority vote. For now, renting an airplane comes with risks, such as poor landings requiring more maintenance or the plane being left in less trafficked airports. Similarly, only the owner can upgrade or maintain an airport. Insurance options for these risks may be introduced later.

A person can begin flying in SimFly without any assets, such as a license or airplane. Initially, players can participate in the Test Pilot Mission, which allows them to accumulate experience points (XP) without requiring a license. These experience points will be stored in their account and will contribute to the upgrade of their first license once purchased. Although flying without a license won't earn PAX tokens, the experience points gained will make the license more valuable when acquired, leading to higher earnings in the future. While you don't need to own an airplane or an airport to start earning, owning these assets provides additional income channels. SimFly will also provide free-to-use airplanes at major airports, so players without an airplane can still participate in missions and earn PAX.

An airport gains experience points and levels up based on the number of takeoffs and landings that occur there. While it's true that you can't control how many people choose to fly to your airport, SimFly's mission algorithm is designed to encourage flights to user-owned airports, which helps in leveling them up.
Even if your airport isn’t popular initially, it can still gain experience points and level up through missions that require flights to and from user-owned airports. Additionally, higher-level airports generate more PAX, so it's essential to focus on gradually leveling up your airport, even if it's small.
Ultimately, the more your airport is used, the more valuable it becomes, and even smaller, well-leveled airports can be highly profitable.

Currently, SimFly does not deduct any fees for airport usage or other expenses from the PACs you earn on a flight. Instead, the SimFly bank issues new PACs to cover all related costs. If you own the departure airport, airplane license, or arrival airport, you receive earnings from these assets. If not, these go to the respective owners.
The suggestion to have a more detailed report that breaks down PACs and experience points for each asset involved in the flight is noted. This would show, for example, how much the departure airport earned and the corresponding experience points generated. This enhancement could provide clearer insights into the benefits of owning specific assets within SimFly.

The 84-hour timer complements the 24-hour timer by giving players more flexibility. With just a 24-hour timer, players would be limited to flying for a short time each day, making it harder for those who only have weekends to play. The 84-hour timer allows people to spread their available flying time over several days. For example, someone who can only fly on the weekends could use all their available time during Saturday and Sunday, maximizing their flying hours. The two-timer system ensures that players who have different schedules can compete fairly, whether they fly every day or just a few days a week. It also helps players who own multiple licenses by allowing longer flights, which are often more rewarding than shorter ones. In short, the 84-hour timer makes the system more flexible and balanced, benefiting both casual and regular players.

In real-life long-haul flights, there are always two or three pilots, ensuring that there is always at least one pilot monitoring the flight. Unfortunately, this cannot be replicated in a flight simulator where there is only one pilot. The purpose of the Sky Sentinel is not to prevent the pilot from engaging in other activities during the flight but to ensure that during long-haul flights, the pilot does not sleep or leave the controls for extended periods. The Sky Sentinel verifies the pilot's presence throughout the flight. Additionally, with SimFly, pilots are rewarded through PAX, which encourages them to remain at the controls. Of course, during the development process, we will always strive to calibrate the parameters to make them as non-intrusive and "user-friendly" as possible for pilots.

Upgrading a license requires both experience points and a fee in PAX tokens. Experience points are necessary to enable the upgrade option and are not spent in the process. Instead, they are a prerequisite to demonstrate the player's readiness for the upgrade. Once enough experience points are accumulated, the upgrade button is activated, and the player can pay the PAX fee to complete the upgrade. This applies to all assets, including airports and airplanes. Detailed information on this system can be found on the SimFly Wikipedia page.

The PAX token is not a stable coin and its value is tied to the circular economy within SimFly. The token is eliminated each time it is used to purchase assets within SimFly, ensuring a controlled supply. The value is pegged to $1 per PAX token for in-game purchases, making it impractical to sell for significantly more or less. The primary risk of failure comes from the potential abandonment of the platform by the community. Without active users, the economy would collapse, leading to the end of SimFly and the PAX token. The ongoing maintenance and development of SimFly are supported by community pre-purchases and transaction fees, which help sustain the platform.

Experience points are strictly connected to assets (licenses, airplanes, airports). Each asset has its own experience points that stay with the asset. Points are not transferable between assets. When you sell an asset, it retains its experience points. Currently, accumulated points are not connected to any license, but when you activate your first license, all points will be applied to it. As assets gain experience points, they can be upgraded to higher levels, increasing their value and productivity.

There is no direct relation between experience points and PAX tokens. Assets with more experience points and higher levels generate more PAX tokens when used. PAX tokens are generated by using assets, while experience points are accumulated by using assets and leveling them up. The amount of PAX tokens generated depends on the asset's level, not on a specific number of experience points.

A mission is considered failed if the sum of the score of all the activities results in a score lower than the required threshold. Each mission is divided into several activities, each with a potential maximum of five points. If you make a minor mistake, you may lose one point; more significant errors can result in a deduction of up to five points. The cumulative score from all activities determines the overall success of the mission. Even a small deduction in points can lead an activity to be considered failed, but the full mission can still be successful if the total score doesn't fall below the minimum required score.

Some activities in SimFly will require PAX, which could affect demand. When SimFly receives PAX as payment, the tokens are destroyed to maintain economic balance.

The first asset that will be activated is the pilot license, which is crucial for earning PAX and participating in higher-level missions. The activation of licenses is planned for September 9, 2024, alongside the release of the Unrestricted Flight Mission. Activating the license before this date would be ineffective, as it would prevent you from participating in the Test Pilot Mission. After the license activation, the system will also allow for the activation of airplanes and airports, but this will happen in a phased manner to ensure everything functions smoothly.

No, SimFly does not engage in any form of cryptocurrency mining on users computers. The concern about the potential high load on the video card due to mining is unfounded. Mining would not only be unethical but also counterproductive, as your graphic card’s primary role in SimFly is to ensure smooth and immersive flight simulation experiences. Additionally, SimFly is not involved in any cryptocurrency mining activities, so there's no connection to this in our system. While PAX will also be available as a blockchain token, this does not imply that any mining activities are happening. SimFly client installed on users computers is solely for connecting to the flight simulator and gathering data necessary for the functioning of SimFly. To summarize, there is no mining code in SimFly Web App (that runs in the browser), nor in the client, or anywhere else related to SimFly. Regarding your question about SimFly economic model, the token economy is thoroughly explained in this video:

Your concern about the long-term financial sustainability of SimFly is a valid concern, and I appreciate you bringing it up. The financial viability of our platform hinges on maintaining a balanced economy within SimFly. If we were to flood the system with too many PAX, it would devalue the tokens, making the game less challenging and engaging, which could lead to user abandonment. Conversely, if we are too restrictive, users might get frustrated and leave due to a lack of opportunities to use their PAX. SimFly’s revenue model is multifaceted. Yes, there will be certain aspects that require USD payments, such as a subscription to a Pro account that offers special boosts and features. However, maintaining a healthy balance between giving users enough PAX to remain engaged and active while ensuring that these PAX are also consumed through various in-game purchases and upgrades is crucial. For instance, PAX are burned whenever they are used for transactions like purchasing or upgrading licenses, maintaining airports, or participating in specific missions. This burning process reduces the overall supply of PAX, creating scarcity, which helps maintain their value within the ecosystem. Our goal is to ensure that SimFly remains sustainable by covering essential costs like server maintenance, development, and marketing, while also keeping the community active and engaged. In summary, the platform is designed to be self-sustaining through a careful balance of PAX distribution and consumption, along with strategic USD-based revenue streams. This approach ensures that SimFly can continue to thrive and grow, providing long-term value to its users.

Thank you for raising this issue regarding penalties for landing lights being on above 10,000 feet. You are correct that there are no aviation rules being broken by having the landing lights on above this altitude, and this is surely a valid point. SimFly’s penalty system is designed to ensure that flight quality is accurately assessed and rewarded. However, we recognize that there needs to be a balance between enforcing rules and allowing for reasonable margins of error. In cases where the lights are left on slightly longer than required, it might be more appropriate to simply note this in the flight report rather than imposing a penalty. At the same time, if the reward is given for the quality of a pilot behavior, there should be a penalty associated with things even if they are not related to aviation rules (take, for example the landing rate). The current system is automated, which means that penalties are applied as soon as the threshold is crossed, leaving little flexibility to a pilot to act out of the set margins. We are actively working on refining these rules to introduce more tolerance and flexibility, allowing pilots time to react without immediate penalties. As SimFly evolves, we will continue to adjust these rules based on user feedback and the growing complexity of our simulation environment. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will take it into account as we update our penalty system. The goal is to create a fair and realistic simulation experience that reflects both the needs of the community and the technical aspects of aviation.

Your suggestion to create training videos to help improve flight scores is excellent and aligns with our future plans for SimFly. We are already in the process of developing the SimFly Academy, which will feature tutorials specifically designed to enhance users' flight performance. The SimFly Academy will offer detailed guides on flying different types of aircraft, managing specific flight conditions, and mastering SimFly's unique operations. These tutorials will be available in multiple languages to ensure accessibility for all users. We are also translating existing tutorials into English and will expand our offerings as we approach 2025. It’s important to note that while experience points are primarily awarded based on the duration of your flights, the PAX you earn are influenced by how well you execute your flights. The SimFly Academy will help pilots maximize their performance, ensuring they can earn the highest possible rewards. Stay tuned, as the SimFly Academy will soon become an integral part of the platform, offering valuable resources to help all pilots refine their skills and achieve their best possible results in SimFly.

Experience points are not limited to September 9, 2024; they continue accumulating as long as you don't activate a license. Once you activate your first license, all accumulated points are assigned to that license and cannot be split among others. To maximize experience points, it's best to activate a license promptly and use additional licenses consecutively when each license's timer expires. This allows you to collect and distribute experience points across multiple licenses, enhancing their value and potentially enabling upgrades or sales.

Yes, with your current setup of a license, plane, and two airports, you can maximize your PAX earnings by flying between your two airports. This strategy is completely legitimate in SimFly, and not considered cheating. By repeatedly flying between your airports, you'll not only earn PAX but also accumulate experience points for your assets, which allows you to upgrade them.
Here’s how you can further increase your earnings:
- Asset Upgrades: As you gain experience points, use PAX tokens to upgrade your airports, plane, and license. Upgraded assets earn more PAX.
- Passive Income: If you own multiple planes, you can rent them out to other users and earn passive income.
- Event Hosting: Organize events at your airports, such as vintage airplane shows, to attract more pilots, increasing your PAX earnings.
- Longer Flights: The farther the flight to your airport, the more PAX you earn. Encourage pilots to fly longer distances to maximize income.
Finally, SimFly missions will often prioritize airports owned by users, which increases traffic to your airports, thus further boosting your earnings.

While some users may earn more PAX by flying often and purchasing assets early, SimFly is designed to prevent monopolization. Even if someone buys multiple assets, those assets must be actively used to generate PAX and maintain value. If an asset, like an airplane or airport, isn’t used, it won't gain experience points and could become costly due to maintenance.
For example, owning many airports isn’t beneficial if no one flies to them. This system naturally balances the game, as maintaining a large number of underutilized assets is not sustainable. In essence, users are incentivized to grow their assets gradually and actively, rather than hoarding them. Early investors might have an advantage, but only if they manage their assets wisely.

Airport costs and income are generally balanced, making it highly unlikely for maintenance fees to exceed income. The only scenario where an airport might face recurring maintenance costs without sufficient income is if there are absolutely no landings. Even a few landings can cover the basic maintenance costs, which vary depending on the airport's category and level. Any movement at the airport—whether landings or takeoffs—generates income, ensuring that income is always positive, though it may vary. Airports essentially only generate income, so with even minimal activity, costs are covered.

Hi PandorOne. Sometimes, when we do system maintenances, updates, or new deployments, we disable some of the triggers that cancel users' missions, to avoid issues to the users currently flying. You must have met with such condition!

Currently, you can simulate this by completing each leg of your journey as a separate mission. For instance, if you’re flying a Cessna from England to Southern Italy, you can land at various airports along the way, end each mission upon landing, and start a new mission for the next leg. This approach not only simulates multi-stop flights but also maximizes earnings. In contrast, SimFly’s "A Pilot Day" mission type is pre-planned by our system, requiring specific stops, though these are set by the SimFly Brain and not user-driven.

To combat this misconception, we have decided to distance ourselves from blockchain, NFTs, and cryptocurrency integration for now. Although we originally planned to make these features a core part of SimFly, we'll only introduce them once the community has full trust in us. We aim to educate users gradually, ensuring that they understand the true value and potential benefits of these technologies. Until then, our focus will be on non-blockchain elements to avoid any confusion or negative associations.

The distance measured for PAX payouts in SimFly is based on the actual distance flown. It doesn't matter if you take off and land at the same airport or fly extra miles. As long as your timer is active, you will earn PAX based on the total distance traveled, even if you return to the same airport. Various factors, like wind resistance and your license rank, may affect the final amount of PAX you earn.

The PAX tokens are integrated with SimFly in a unique way. We have restructured the platform to operate independently of the blockchain. All transactions and assets are managed within SimFly, and only if a user chooses, they can transfer assets to the blockchain. Once transferred, these assets will no longer be available in SimFly until they are brought back. This design was adopted due to misconceptions and skepticism surrounding blockchain technology. We will share the smart contract address once the community fully embraces and trusts the blockchain aspects of SimFly.

Currently, SimFly has a system in place where flights are saved for a few minutes even after a crash or disconnection, allowing users to restart their system and rejoin the flight. This grace period has been extended to account for minor connectivity issues that previously caused missions to be canceled. However, the time is intentionally kept short to prevent potential exploitation, such as avoiding consequences when critical events occur (e.g., Sky Sentinel encounters).
Expanding this feature is challenging, as a longer recovery window could be misused to manipulate outcomes. For now, the best advice is to act swiftly if your system crashes. SimFly aims to refine this mechanism further as the platform evolves, especially considering future updates planned for 2050, where real-time interactions with other players and aircraft visibility will be crucial.

As of now, users need to log in to SimFly and manually import flight data from SimBrief. Future plans include a more integrated experience where the SimFly client will have a comprehensive interface, not just a basic icon. This would allow users to access all necessary information, start missions, and monitor progress directly from the client.
Automated tracking of take-offs and landings was considered but posed challenges for complex missions that require multiple stops. Hence, it's currently preferred that users manually start and end their missions to ensure accuracy. This feature might be revisited in future updates, potentially as early as 2025, to streamline user experience further.

SimFly is working towards this goal. The user interface already displays information about nearby flights and aircraft at airports. The plan is to enhance this system to show real-time aircraft movements and parking status within flight simulators. This feature will allow users to see and interact with other SimFlyers, making the experience more immersive.
For users with VR setups, the upcoming release of a new client will support this functionality, offering an even more engaging virtual experience.

Yes, experience points continue to accumulate even after an asset (license, aircraft, or airport) reaches its maximum level. This ongoing accumulation serves several purposes:
- Ranking and Recognition: It helps identify which assets have the highest experience points, making it easier to rank assets and users.
- Advanced Missions: Some missions may require assets with a minimum amount of accumulated experience points to participate, ensuring that only the most seasoned assets can be involved.
- Future Functionalities: SimFly may introduce new levels or functionalities in the future, allowing highly experienced assets to unlock additional benefits or features.
Experience points in SimFly are an ongoing metric and do not stop accumulating, ensuring that assets remain valuable and capable of taking on new challenges even after reaching their current maximum level.

PAX tokens in SimFly are earned based on the performance and usage of various assets owned by the user, such as airports, airplanes, and licenses. The calculation of PAX tokens depends on several factors:
1) Asset Type and Level: Each asset, whether an airport, airplane, or license, earns PAX tokens based on its level and grade. New assets start at a base earning rate and increase as they level up.
2) Usage Metrics:
- Licenses: Earnings depend on flight characteristics, such as flight duration, landing quality, and overall performance during the flight.
- Airplanes: Key factors include flight distance, rental status, and how well the airplane is piloted (e.g., landing quality).
- Airports: Earnings are influenced by the number of landings, quality of flights landing there, and the level and category of both the airplane and airport involved.
To maximize PAX earnings, users should focus on improving the levels and grades of their assets and maintaining high standards in flight operations. For more detailed information, refer to the comprehensive wiki available on SimFly's platform.

SimFly is designed to accommodate users with varying schedules and flight availability. For those who cannot commit to long flights, several strategies can help grow their virtual career:
1) Asset Management: Users can focus on owning and managing assets such as airports and airplanes. By strategically placing and renting out these assets, users can earn experience points and PAX tokens without actively flying.
2) Community Engagement: Engaging with the SimFly community by promoting their airport or encouraging others to use their airplanes can generate passive income and contribute to the growth of their assets.
3) Renting Out Assets: When users rent out their airplanes, both the owner and the renter benefit from additional PAX earnings, making it a viable option for those with limited flight time.
These strategies allow users to build a profitable and growing asset base without the need for extensive flight hours.

Question (decoded): Does enabling crash detection in the simulator cause issues when flying in multiplayer networks?
Answer: Enabling crash detection in SimFly is essential for evaluating landing quality and other flight metrics. However, concerns have been raised about its impact on multiplayer networks or when flying with third-party add-ons.
Clarification: Crash detection in SimFly only registers incidents where an aircraft crashes into the environment (e.g., mountains, ground objects). It does not register collisions with other aircraft in the multiplayer network, whether in SimFly or other flight simulation platforms. This prevents accidental mission cancellations due to network-related incidents, ensuring a smooth experience while still maintaining the integrity of flight evaluations.
Users can safely enable crash detection in their simulator settings without worrying about unintended consequences from multiplayer interactions.

The earning of PAX in the beginning with just a license is very slow. Since you are limited to 1hr in 24hr and 2hr in 84hr and each flight regardless of length earns max 1PAX. It can take several weeks in real life to earn 14.90 PAX to do your first upgrade.
Is this intended to slow the game play down? Once the ability to use USD and PAX (not sure if this will be possible for upgrades) becomes available it would seem you would be using more USD to do your initial upgrades if you didn't want to wait weeks or even months for just one upgrade.

Yes, this is intentional. The limitation on Pax earnings is designed to ensure a balanced experience. With just one license at the lowest level, earning is slower to encourage strategic planning. You have several options to upgrade faster:
1. Multiple Licenses: If you hold multiple licenses, you can switch between them as each license's time limit is reached. This allows you to accumulate Pax faster from multiple licenses.
2. Marketplace: Once the marketplace is live, you'll be able to buy Pax from other users who have accumulated more than they need. This option allows you to speed up your upgrades without waiting for a long time.
This system creates a healthy balance between those who prefer to take their time and earn Pax through flying and those who want to speed up the process by buying Pax from others. It fosters an economy where supply and demand for Pax balance out, giving users flexibility based on their goals.

To maximize your rental income, you might consider moving your plane to busy airports where more users are likely to rent it. You can also promote your aircraft on Discord or among friends to increase its usage. Our system will prioritize airports and airplanes owned by users, ensuring a high rate of activity for rented aircraft.

This is a feature we’ve definitely considered, but it poses significant challenges. The PAX token is a commodity that can be monetized and converted into US dollars, which means enabling user-to-user transfers could potentially open SimFly up to misuse, such as money laundering. For instance, a user could buy PAX with illicit funds, transfer them to another user, and have them cash out clean money.
Due to these risks and the legal responsibilities we have, we can’t enable this feature. We're committed to following financial regulations, not just in the countries where SimFly is incorporated but also where our users are operating. While the idea is technically feasible, the legal constraints prevent us from implementing it. We hope this clarifies why such a feature won’t be included under current conditions.

Thanks for your suggestions, Haider. Regarding your first request for a sound alert, we’ve deliberately chosen not to implement this. We want players to remain fully engaged in their flights, as earning PAX tokens is a reward for active participation. It’s important to maintain a balance where users work for the rewards they receive. If the flight isn’t your main focus, it might be better to schedule shorter flights or have someone else manage the flight remotely if you're occupied with other tasks.
As for your second suggestion, a timer for Sky Essentials or Sky Sentinel quests, the current system already provides enough information. You can note the time when the quest pop-up appears and calculate how much time you have left based on that. Adding a timer seems straightforward, but in reality, it’s complicated due to the involvement of multiple servers and potential synchronization issues. To avoid confusion or discrepancies, we prefer to keep it simple without introducing an explicit timer.

This way, we can verify that it matches and download the necessary data to evaluate your flight.

At present, you can check the benefits each license grade offers by visiting the marketplace, selecting a license, and clicking on “How It Works.” This section details the XP and PAX boosts each level provides. While we already have the XP and PAX requirements in place, they’re not publicly available yet because we’re fine-tuning them. We aim to ensure a balanced experience for all, so players aren’t progressing too slowly or too quickly. Once we finalize these values, they’ll be published on the Wiki and relevant asset descriptions, covering licenses, aircraft, and even airports when those features become available.

Hello,
is flying countless holdings for hours on end just to maximize flight time and gain as much XP considered cheating?
I sure wouldn't want to end as a passenger on one of these pilots flights, turning a 1hr30min flight into an 8 hr long holding ordeal 🙂 Because I might have accidentally bumped into some user doing just that and I am curious about it. Thank you.

Flying in circles to extend a flight is allowed within SimFly, as we don’t base earnings solely on the direct distance between departure and arrival points. So whether a pilot chooses a straightforward route or a scenic, extended loop, both are permitted. While this isn’t technically cheating, it might not be the most exciting way to fly. Players are still required to respond to Sky Sentinel prompts to keep the mission active, ensuring engagement during the extended flight time.

We can see there is a distance category in the PAX scoring section, where does distance come into play with earning Pax? It seems like current earnings are flight time plus landing modifier, without flight distance taken into account. You've said distance can affect airport earnings for the destination airport in the past, does it affect the departure airport as well? Will distance affect plane earnings too or will it be based on flight time and some other modifier?

In SimFly, we distinguish between “distance” (direct line from point A to B) and “route” (actual flight path, which may include detours). For aircraft earnings, only the route covered impacts calculations, allowing flexibility for flights with detours or scenic loops. For airports, however, the distance a plane travels before landing directly affects earnings. For example, an airport will earn more when an aircraft lands after a long journey from a distant departure point compared to a local return flight.

No, experience points (XP) and PAX earnings work a bit differently in SimFly. While XP accumulates based on your assets, like licenses, airplanes, and airports, PAX earnings focus on flight quality. For example, XP is earned over time through the use of these assets, often regulated by timers. Higher-grade assets mean longer timers, allowing you to earn more XP overall.
On the other hand, PAX reflects the quality of your flights. The better you fly, the more PAX you’ll earn, which can be used within SimFly to purchase or upgrade assets. So, while XP levels up your assets, PAX offers spending power. Your progress in both areas enhances the value of your assets for future upgrades or resale!

Yes, helicopters are definitely in our future plans! Initially, we focused on airports to ensure compatibility with various flight simulators. Managing helipads adds a unique challenge due to their small size and diverse locations, sometimes even on private property or remote areas. But we’re committed to making helicopters a part of SimFly. When they’re added, we’ll introduce exclusive missions designed for helicopter pilots.
While it may take some time, we’re listening closely to user requests, and helicopter missions will likely arrive in 2025 if demand continues to grow. Stay tuned as we work to make this a reality!

Absolutely! We’re excited to bring military jets into SimFly. We’ll be designing specific missions where high-speed maneuvers, tight turns, and high G-force moments are part of the thrill rather than penalized. We’re also open to suggestions on which military jets to prioritize, so let us know your favorites.
To ensure an authentic experience, we’ll need help from the community to test the limits and settings of these missions. Keep an eye out for announcements as we add these adrenaline-pumping challenges to SimFly’s mission lineup!

Yes, the airplanes and airports will continue to generate PAX tokens and XP independently, even if your license timer is at zero. Each asset (airplane, airport, etc.) operates individually and is unaffected by the status of your license. For instance, if you rent an airplane or land at another user’s airport, their earnings remain unaffected by your license timer. However, earnings can vary based on flight distance, airport traffic, and other specific conditions. Each asset has its own earnings parameters: airports depend on the turnaround rate of flights, while airplanes have maintenance requirements. So, even if you’re not earning through the license, the assets themselves can still generate income independently.

Yes, in unrestricted flight mode, you can start a flight from any airport using any airplane. However, certain mission types will later require you to start from the specific airport where your airplane is parked. If you choose to fly from where the airplane is parked, you physically move the airplane between airports. For more control, you can use the “Move” function to relocate your airplane or license to the airport of your choice. Note that while airplanes and licenses are movable, airports remain fixed. For some missions, it’s essential to align the starting location of your license and airplane to avoid incurring additional costs.

Both the renter and the airplane owner benefit financially. When you rent another player’s airplane, both you (the renter) and the owner earn a portion of the income generated by the flight. If you’re using your own airplane, you retain both portions, but with rentals, the income is shared. The specific split between owner and renter is still under consideration, with a likely division around 50-50 or 70-30, which will be clarified in the official documentation. This shared earnings structure incentivizes renting and provides revenue for both parties.

Yes, you can collect PAX tokens by completing test pilot missions on SimFly. Test pilot missions are accessible to users who do not have an activated license or do not have a license at all. These missions allow you to earn a small amount of PAX tokens without any initial investment.
By creating an account and participating in test pilot missions, you can start earning PAX tokens immediately. We've observed that some users without activated licenses are actively flying numerous test pilot missions and accumulating a significant number of PAX tokens. If you consistently complete many of these missions, you might even earn enough PAX tokens to purchase your own license.
When purchasing a license on SimFly, you have the option to use a combination of PAX tokens and dollars at checkout. This means you can reduce the amount of money you need to spend by applying the PAX tokens you've earned from test pilot missions.
In summary, test pilot missions are a great way to try out SimFly, start earning PAX tokens, and potentially obtain a license at a reduced cost.

Thank you for your inquiry. We are actively working to activate all planes and airports in SimFly to enhance your flight simulation experience. Regarding the fiat wallet—which will allow users to withdraw earnings in US dollars—it is scheduled to be activated in early 2025.
The activation of the fiat wallet is dependent on the launch of the user marketplace. Since the fiat wallet's primary function is to facilitate financial transactions within the marketplace, it makes sense to introduce it alongside or after the marketplace is operational. Implementing the fiat wallet also requires us to address important security and regulatory considerations, including robust Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures to verify users' identities.
While we understand the desire to have all features operational as soon as possible, developing and securing the fiat wallet is a complex task that takes time. Rest assured, it is a priority on our roadmap, and we are committed to delivering it as soon as it's ready.
We appreciate your patience and continued support as we work towards fully launching all features of SimFly.

Thank you for your question. When aircraft become available in SimFly, you will have control over when to activate them. Purchasing an aircraft does not automatically activate it; activation is a separate step where you assign specific details to the aircraft, such as the tail number, and integrate it into your fleet.
You can choose to keep aircraft unactivated for as long as you like. This means you can own additional aircraft and decide when to activate them based on your strategic needs. Unactivated aircraft will not consume resources or earn experience points until they are activated.
However, please note that only activated aircraft can participate in missions and earn PAX tokens. Additionally, when the user marketplace becomes active, if you wish to sell an aircraft asset to another user, the aircraft needs to be activated first.
Having multiple activated aircraft can be advantageous. For example, while one aircraft is undergoing maintenance after a mission, you can use another activated aircraft to continue flying missions without delay, thereby maximizing your earning potential.
In summary, you have the flexibility to manage your aircraft assets according to your preferences. Whether you choose to activate them immediately or wait until a later time is entirely up to you.
