You join the virtual airline by giving your name and an E-Mail address. They then add your name to their list of Pilots. Each airline will have one or more Hubs (airports). You select which one you would like as your home base (eg Belfast UK) and then check the schedule of flights. The schedule will have a list of available flights, one line may look like this

Flight Number: SMOKE001
Destination: London City(EGLC)
Aircraft Type: B717-400
GMT Depart Time 06.45
Flight Time 1.20 Hours
Arrival Time 08.05

Return

Flight Number: SMOKE002
Destination: Belfast
Aircraft Type: B717-400
GMT Depart Time 08.45
Flight Time 1.20 Hours
Arrival Time 10.05

If you decide to do this flight you would go into create flight in FS2k2 and set the start time to 06.00 and fly an IFR flight Belfast to London City, possibly with real world weather. The return leg is usually necessary as well as you have to get back to your home airport somehow. On completion of the flight go to the airlines' web site and you will find somewhere a "PIREP" form, which is an acronym for PIlots REPort. Fill this in with the details they require and you will then be credited with the hours you logged for the flight. Many airlines have a promotions policy that means you cannot fly the big multi engined jets without first having logged a few hundred hours.

I hope this helps.

There are literally hundreds of VA's out there, but if you're interested in Hyperion Airways (mine), you're more than welcome to get more information by emailing us at operations@flyhyperion.tk

Good luck with whoever you choose!

Well it does matter if you crash, you would not have complete the flight. It wouldn't count.

Here is my VA, www.flygma.com

My VA is ran by Erick Ortiz and Chriss Trott and other staff members. The airline has 5 or more hubs. The hubs are KMCO, KBNA, Dallas *(forgot the code) KBOS and another one. Each with a lot of flights. You start with easy airplanes and work your way up the ladder. They can go from to the Jetstream 41 to the CRJ and A320. There is also training available for first timers directed by Tim Laswell. The classes teach how to correctly connect to VATSIM, how to correctly interact with ATC ( like who to contact first ) and other things like ILS. I enjoy flying a lot in it. It is for the US so if you are interested come on and join. www.flygma.com

NO, we weren't on the cover of FSInflight. We were front page of the Flight Simulator Internet News Network.

(They've got a sim-version of EVERYTHING don't they? lol)

Yes, being GA is always great. I am the kind of people who are vitually staying at a city. Right now I am in my Hub in Orlando after a flight from Panama City in my JS-41.....Now, i don't start FS at NY or JAX, only at MCO, like i was there. I fly to other places but always make sure to come back to MCO if i am going to be a pilot for my VA. I think its pretty cool. I can always sqeez in some flights to Atlanta or CLT

Just a suggestion, but is something preventing you from installing FS on the web-ready computer? (Work, computer specs, etc)

There are VA's that would allow you to fly offline, however, once I discovered flying with live, voice ATC, the game just isn't the same any other way. lol
