Getting Started in 5 Minutes
VEconomy is a free virtual airline economy for MSFS 2020/2024 and X-Plane. No subscriptions. You fly jobs, earn money and XP, and grow from renting a Cessna to running a company fleet.
1. Create your account. Register on the main site. You start with cash (new pilots start with $1,000) and no aircraft — that is normal.
2. Pick a home base. Choose any open airport as your base (
base_icao). Your pilot must be at the job origin to fly, so start where you want to fly.3. Claim a job. Open Airports, pick your origin airport, claim 1–3 passengers. The copy is personal and expires in 7 days.
4. Pick a flying aircraft. Use “Use this aircraft for fly” on the Aircraft page. Low levels can use the free system rental fleet.
5. Fly with the desktop client. Download the connector (MSFS via SimConnect, X-Plane .exe), take off, land — payout and XP are logged automatically.
Moving around without flying
Your pilot moves only by ticket: $1,000 flat, pilot only, aircraft stays. Aircraft move only by flying (paid job or $0 ferry). There is no teleport.
Tip: start at a medium airport (more job variety) and keep your first legs under 300 NM while you learn the client.
What you need installed
- MSFS 2020/2024 + SimConnect client, or X-Plane 11 + X-Plane client.
- A VEconomy account and the connector logged in with the same user.
- Fuel bought on the website before loading the sim — loading extra fuel in-sim can refuse the start.
