About the Flying Tigers Group
The Flying Tigers Group is the
world's most active and dynamic conglomerate of virtual airlines. We are
a group of semi-independent virtual airlines that share a common database,
operating procedures and resources. This provides our virtual airlines
with a proven and robust system for them to thrive and offers all
of our members huge benefits.
In
other virtual airlines when you become a pilot your only job is to complete
a flight for the same airline. Day after day, month after month, year after
year. For this reason many pilots choose to join several VAs or quit over
time. Who would want to fly the same planes and routes all the
time? Boring... but not with us!
This is where the Flying Tigers Group comes
in. You can fly for all of our virtual airlines representing some of the
best and most exotic airlines around the world. As a pilot you will be able
to fly short island hops to exotic locations or even trans-Atlantic flights
on the Concorde. This isn't a free for all operation like some other virtual
airline groups on the net. We carefully choose the airlines that are
represented in our group.
Because all of our virtual
airlines share our advanced
automation features, a pilot only needs to sign up once. Then with a single
pilot ID, a pilot can log in to all of our virtual airlines. What's really
cool is that you can file a PIREP at any of our virtual airlines and it will
always count towards your total flight hours and rank!
This concept has created one of the most
active and dynamic groups of Flight Simulator fanatics we've ever seen.
Some of our services:
-
Really cool
automated pilot services using ASP technology and a robust SQL database.
We use a high end dedicated Windows 2003
server with an SQL 2000 database. We don't
use the free/cheap stuff like everyone else.
-
Automated sign up process.
Pass the automated entrance exam, grab a pilot ID and you're good to go.
The only catch is that new members have to sign up with a valid email address.
Potential members will not be able to sign up with phony emails because
our system weeds them out automatically.
-
Advanced management portal
where our management team can manage members, review PIREPs, do content
management and everything else needed to run a virtual airline. Since it's all
online, our management team can do this anywhere they have internet
access.
-
Our very own free FTG-ACARS
program to automatically captures your flight information.
Includes flight crew
announcements and even shows your flight path in Google Earth, see
here
-
We get rid of inactive
pilots. You will never see 100 active pilots out of 2000 members on our
roster. Unlike other groups who keep inactive members on their roster, we
closely monitor our membership activity.
-
Flight schedules are
integrated with real world schedules from the
amadeus.net
& SkyGuide
databases. Our flight schedules will always be up to date thanks to real
time / real world data.
-
Advanced pilot logbook, with
all kinds of statistics and really cool dynamic maps that show your latest
flights. Our pilots can edit/delete their own flight reports.
-
Our rank system is based
partly on seniority, just like the real airlines.
-
A large community of active
flight simulation fanatics from all over the world!
-
We have one of the most
active message boards compared to any other virtual airline, providing a large
thriving flightsim community.
-
Full access to all of our
virtual airlines. Flights from all FTG virtual airlines are recorded in your pilot
logbook.
-
oneworld Alliance, Star
Alliance & skyTeam codeshare programs offering a huge number of real world
airline routes.
-
Classic & Cargo Divisions
featured at many of our virtual airlines.
-
Our websites come in
multiple language to cater to the local flightsim communities. (e.g.
Virtual Air France is in English and French)
-
A first class virtual
airline experience
simulating some of the best and most exotic airlines in the world.
