The questions that decide the purchase.
Clear compatibility, honest console limits and a one-time licence. No hidden holding pattern.
Open the full support deskIs Pilot Journey a flight simulator?
No. Pilot Journey is a career companion that runs beside Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane 12. You keep flying in your simulator; Pilot Journey builds the assignments, messages, reputation, finances and career consequences around each flight.
Which simulator versions are supported?
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 support live tracking on a Windows simulator PC. X-Plane 12.1.1 or newer is supported on Windows and Mac, with a direct web-interface connection or Pilot Journey Bridge.
Can I use Pilot Journey with Xbox or PlayStation 5?
Not in the current version. Xbox and PlayStation 5 support is planned for a future update. Current supported setups are MSFS 2020/2024 on a Windows simulator PC, or X-Plane 12.1.1+ on Windows or Mac. Bridge supports both simulators.
Can the career console run on another computer?
Yes. A same-PC Windows setup connects directly through SimConnect. The Pilot Journey Bridge lets a second Windows PC or a macOS career console receive telemetry from the Windows simulator PC over your local network.
Is SimBrief required?
No. SimBrief is optional. Connecting it adds your OFP, filed route, schedule, cruise level, fuel figures and alternate to the operation briefing.
What happens if MSFS disconnects or crashes?
Live telemetry pauses while the simulator connection is unavailable. Reconnect from Sim & telemetry when possible. The active flight is stored on disk, so reopening Pilot Journey after a crash returns you to the same active-flight state; the full recovery flow is documented in Support.
Where is my career saved?
Your career is persistent on the career-console computer, so logbook, reputation, finances, ratings and contracts continue between simulator sessions. Pilot Journey also keeps rotating automatic backups; Settings lets you create or restore a career backup, while Logbook can export CSV or JSON.
Is Pilot Journey a subscription?
No. Pilot Journey is a one-time €30 licence with two personal-computer activations. There is no recurring subscription.
