Technical briefing
Before you install.
Does Pilot Journey support third-party aircraft?
Pilot Journey reads standard simulator telemetry and lets you select the installed aircraft used for the operation. Aircraft-specific automation can vary when an add-on does not expose standard SimConnect values.
Does the career console need permanent internet?
Internet is required for activation, updates and online services such as SimBrief. Live flight tracking itself uses the local connection between the Windows simulator PC, Pilot Journey Bridge when needed, and the career console.
What happens after a disconnect?
Live telemetry pauses until the connection returns. 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; Support documents the full recovery flow.
Can I back up my career?
Yes. The career persists on the career-console computer and Pilot Journey keeps rotating automatic backups. Use Settings to create or restore a career backup, or export the logbook as CSV or JSON from Logbook.
