Questions
Before you join.
Do I need to be on VATSIM?
No. You can fly offline or online. VATSIM adds live ATC and real traffic, and we run events for it. New to the network? Our guides walk you through signing up.
Which simulators can I use?
Simulator support depends on smartCARS 3 and the aircraft in the fleet. The supported list will be published with the fleet.
Does it cost anything?
No. Vector Airlines is free to join and always will be.
Is Vector a real airline?
No. Vector Airlines is a fictional virtual airline for flight simulation, and is not affiliated with any real-world airline.
