You name the company, choose a home base, buy a light aircraft, and take real people — and freight — from A to B. How you fly matters: smoothness, weather, boarding, and the landing all feed passenger happiness, which feeds pay, reputation, and the next contract.\n\nIt is not a shared online airline. There is no monthly fee and no MMO economy. Your career lives on your PC. You fly whatever you load in the sim; Flight Horizon owns the jobs, the money, the hangar, and the story around the flight.\n\nA Windows companion is the ops desk. An in-sim toolbar panel keeps the loop in the cockpit. Mock Sim lets you learn the career with the sim closed; Live MSFS hooks SimConnect when you are ready to fly for real.\n\nThe career\n\nYou start as a Student Charter operator on local hops and short scenic loops. Reputation and hours unlock the ladder:\n\nStudent Charter (STU) — local hops and sightseeing (up to about 150 nm; scenic loops shorter)\n\nPrivate Charter (PPL) — longer range, Cargo Lite, challenge jobs, longer scenic work\n\nCommercial Light (CPL) — priority and medical charters\n\nSenior Charter (SEN) — six-seat aircraft on the market\n\nAirline Charter (ATPL) — multi-leg tour contracts\n\nEach rank is earned, not bought. Hour gates can be left at the defaults (10 / 40 / 100 / 250 hours) or set in Settings if you want a slower or faster career.\n\nCash, reputation, airborne hours, fleet condition, and the ledger persist between sessions.\n\nThe job board\n\nContracts are generated from real airport geography, not a fixed mission list. Refresh the board whenever you want a new day’s work.\n\nJob types (unlocked as you progress):\n\nAir taxi — the bread-and-butter passenger hop\n\nSightseeing — scenic loops with paying passengers\n\nCargo Lite — freight, no passengers\n\nChallenge — higher risk, danger money if you fly the required approach well\n\nPriority — time-sensitive charters, better pay\n\nMedical — patient transfer; the airframe has to be in decent condition\n\nMulti-leg — tour contracts once you hold Airline Charter\n\nEach contract shows estimated net pay, weather (VFR day, VFR night, IFR), urgency, required approach, and payload. Filter by this airport for continuous legs, or by approach: Any, VFR, non-precision, or ILS.\n\nOpen a full briefing before you accept: route, payload, scheduled depart time, origin and destination notes. Incoming charters also ring the company phone — unsolicited offers that land in the inbox and on the board.\n\nAccept a job and it locks to the hangar aircraft you took it on. You fly that type. Cancel if you must — it costs reputation.\n\nNight VFR is not flavour text. When you start the job flight, Flight Horizon can set the sim clock to the scheduled local departure.\n\nDispatch, cabin, and the flight\n\nA typical live sortie:\n\nAccept the contract\n\nOptional SimBrief OFP (username in Settings; SID/STAR can import into the plan)\n\nExterior walk-around — eight items; camera can jump outside or into the cockpit\n\nBoarding — timed, with a live seat map, personalities, and happiness\n\nFly the route in MSFS\n\nArrival auto-completes when you are at the destination with brake or door (optional)\n\nDebrief — happiness, touchdown, gross, tips, costs, danger money, reputation, cash\n\nPassengers are the product. Happiness is not a pass/fail landing flag. It moves with the flight, and it moves the payout: poor trips pay less, excellent trips pay more and can add tips. Challenge jobs can add danger money when the approach matches and the cabin is still smiling.\n\nGround ops from the companion (live sim): parking brake, cabin door, pushback (left / straight / right), jetway or stairs, GPU, fuel truck with a cash-capped top-up. Divert mid-flight to a new ICAO if the day goes sideways. Open a passenger manifest when you want names on paper.\n\nOptional cabin SFX and spoken crew PA follow boarding state. Career speed 1× / 2× / 4× shortens boarding, mock flights, and crew ETAs without touching the sim’s own rate.\n\nHangar and the market\n\nOwnership is economic. You buy catalog types — C172-class, DA40-class, and six-seat airframes once you are Senior — or optionally pull in aircraft installed in your Community and Official folders.\n\nThe hangar tracks:\n\nPhotos, seats, hours, condition\n\nAssigned crew\n\nWear bands and “service soon / required”\n\nA maintenance reserve that accrues in the air and is spent when you pay for a service quote\n\nSell price that follows condition\n\nRentals are available too: deposit, prepaid days, then daily rent. Return the aircraft and the deposit can take a hit if you brought it back tired.\n\nMedical work will not go out on a wreck. If condition is too low, that contract stays on the ground.\n\nDaily hangar, insurance, and crew wages come off automatically. The ledger is a proper cash book: credits in green, debits in red — payouts, fuel, landing, hangar, insurance, wages, hire fees, rent, cargo, sales.\n\nCrew\n\nHiring unlocks at reputation 10. The board shows adverts with skill, wage, hire fee, and a generated resume — hours, types, employers, incident record, portrait.\n\nHire them, assign them to a rated hangar aircraft, or release them. Dispatch a hired pilot onto a board contract instead of flying it yourself. They appear on the Home live ops map, spawn as AI traffic in MSFS (or in Mock Sim), fly the route, and come home with payout, hours, and sometimes a license upgrade.\n\nCargo\n\nPrivate Charter opens Cargo Lite jobs and the freight desk. Refresh standalone lots from home base, taxi into the pickup zone (~20 m, brake set), load, pay handling, and deliver at the destination for cash and reputation. Cargo Lite on a booked job can auto-load when boarding starts. In live MSFS, ramp cargo can spawn as world objects.\n\nHome and the phone\n\nThe companion Home page is the ops snapshot: license ladder with aircraft glyphs, cash, reputation, hours, active aircraft and condition, maintenance reserve, flights logged, fleet value, and the live map of you and crew.\n\nThe phone is incoming charters only — unread badge, open to brief, mark one or all read. Toasts cover unlocks, walk-around complete, flight complete, daily costs, crew arrivals, wear, and live SimConnect.\n\nIn-sim panel\n\nWith the companion running, install the Community toolbar package and open Flight Horizon from the MSFS 2020 in-flight toolbar. The same loop is available in a browser at the local panel URL.\n\nPanel pages: Home, Jobs, Dispatch, Cabin, Phone, Crew, Debrief, Status.\n\nFrom the cockpit you can accept work, start the job flight, walk around, board, load the flight plan, trigger SimBrief, hire from adverts, take a rental, and read the debrief. Full hangar service, cargo desk, market, ledger, and settings stay in the companion — the panel is for flying the day, not running the company accounts.\n\nMock Sim and Live MSFS\n\nMock Sim — no simulator required. Scripted taxi, climb, cruise, and land so you can learn jobs, boarding, money, and crew without waiting on weather.\n\nLive MSFS — SimConnect. Real telemetry (IAS, VS, altitude, fuel), plan load, clock set, cameras, ground ops, fuel quantity, cargo props, AI crew. If live fails, the companion can fall back to mock.\n\nSwitch from the sidebar whenever you want.\n\nSettings and a new career\n\nPilot name and male / female portraits\n\nCompany name and home base\n\nLicense hour gates (or reset to defaults)\n\nAirport coverage: global, continents, or Pacific Northwest\n\nAuto-start boarding after walk-around\n\nSimBrief username and OFP preferences\n\nAuto-request SimBrief on accept\n\nDetect MSFS Community and Official folders\n\nInclude installed aircraft on the Market\n\nCabin SFX and spoken announcements\n\nCareer speed 1× / 2× / 4×\n\nFullscreen (F", "summary": "Flight Horizon Passenger-first charter career for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 / 2024 (PC) Published by Integrate Systems Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/flighthorizon Give every flight a reason to exist.
