Massive updates to my free browser based airline career sim

Been flying sims for years and always felt like the career side was missing something real. VAs are great for community but the economics are usually seriously lacking or non-existent.

Aviator Ledger is my answer. It is a brower-based career simulator/efb. You pick one of 209 real airlines, a home base city, and start as a New Hire FO.

From there:

  • Pay calculated from real airline contract scales
  • FAA Part 117 fatigue with actual duty rig math, not just a rest timer
  • Tax by jurisdiction — a Dubai-based captain takes home dramatically more than the same captain based in London
  • 401(k), flight school debt, cost of living across 202 cities
  • Charter ops, aircraft ownership, and an IPO path
  • Virtual airlines — create your own, hire real pilots, revenue splits automatically on flight completion
  • AI ACARS with 7 Claude-powered radio messages per flight referenced to your actual route, aircraft, and weather

Works alongside any sim or none at all. Manual logging takes about 30 seconds. MSFS, X-Plane, Aerofly FS4, and Infinite Flight all have auto-import.

Currently in beta and totally free — no credit card, no download, just sign in with Google or your Email.

Looking for beta testers who'll actually poke at it and tell me what's broken or missing. aviatorledger.com

Built a free airline career tracker that works alongside Infinite Flight — looking for feedback from real sim pilots

Hey r/InfiniteFlight 👋

I've been building a browser-based airline career simulator called Aviator Ledger and I'd love feedback from people who actually fly serious sim hours.

It's not a replacement for IF — it's the career layer on top. You log your flights manually (takes about 10 seconds), and the app handles everything around it: pay scales, FAA Part 117 fatigue rules, duty rigs, taxes (109 real tax systems — Dubai 0%, London 45%), 401(k), seniority, rank progression, and 209 real airlines with 7,314 routes.

A few things I built specifically because I was tired of other career tools getting them wrong:

  • Real pay scales. Pulled from actual airline contracts, not made up
  • Iron Man mode. Real UTC clock, no time skipping, decisions are permanent
  • Charter empire path. Buy aircraft, hire crew, take your company public with a real IPO
  • Cost of living across 202 cities — your Dubai-based captain take-home is very different from your London-based one

Free during beta. No download, no install — works in browser, signs in with Google or Discord. Works with IF, MSFS, X-Plane, Aerofly, GeoFS or no sim at all if you just want the management side.

Site: aviatorledger.com

If you fly IF and try it, I genuinely want to know what feels off. The point of beta is to fix the stuff that doesn't match how real sim pilots think.

Cheers ✈️

Built a free browser-based career sim since MSFS 2024's built-in career mode fell short — here's where it's at

The built-in career mode in 2024 was supposed to be the thing that kept people playing long-term. Most people agree it didn't quite get there. I started building Aviator Ledger about 6 months ago for exactly that reason.

It runs in your browser, no install needed. Auto-imports your MSFS 2024 logbook — also supports SimToolkitPro and LittleNavMap CSV exports, and there's a drag and drop option if the auto-scan misses your install path.

Where it's at right now:

209 real airlines — every major carrier you'd have a livery for in 2024. Full cargo coverage (FedEx, DHL, Emirates SkyCargo).

Real pay scales with FAA Part 117 fatigue rules — 9h/24h and 30h rolling 7-day limits, enforced the same way they are for actual Part 121 pilots. The built-in career mode doesn't touch this.

109 tax systems — your home base city changes your actual take-home. Dubai pilot keeps significantly more than a London pilot on the same gross pay.

Private aviation — buy aircraft, hire crew, run charter flights, build a reputation system, and eventually take your company public with a full IPO system. Stock price updates weekly.

Director of Operations — once your charter fleet hits 15 aircraft you hire a DOps who auto-manages everything weekly. Three candidates with partially hidden stats, you pick one.

Two modes — Sandbox (skip time freely) and Iron Man (real UTC clock, no skipping, permanent decisions).

PWA - if you prefer app style playing instead of browser.
