A virtual airline simulates a real-world airline, flying its own aircraft & routes in the virtual world of Flight Simulator. Pilots join the airline and choose flights which they then fly in Flight Simulator. After the flight, pilots report their flight in a Pilot Report (PIREP) on the Lufthansa VA website, and the hours of the flight are automatically added to their logbook. As flight hours accumulate, pilots consequently progress through the ranks at the airline.  Joining and flying with Hawaiian VA is absolutely free and involves no monetary exchange.

Instead of flying aimlessly in your FS world, virtual airlines aim to bring together a community of FS pilots, and provide them with a fun and educational environment in which to fly.

Lufthansa VA strives to be the benchmark for European based virtual airlines. Our objective is simple: To be the best virtual airline in Europe whose pilots are highly recognized by the virtual airline industry.

Our website uses the latest technology for a virtual airline. We provide our pilots with a fully automated system allowing our pilots to log flights instantly. Our pilots have access to an automated Roster, pilot submitted flight reports and individual pilot flight logs. We also provide on-line pilot type rating exams and check flights to ensure that our pilots are the best trained in the VA world.

Joining and flying with Lufthansa VA is absolutely free and involves no monetary exchange. The first step is to read our requirements. The second step is to take our automated entrance exam. To maintain our high standards we feel that applicants should have a basic knowledge about flying airliners. We feel that most dedicated flight simmers should have no problem with the exam and it should only take a few minutes.  You will need to achieve 70% or better on our entrance exam. The link to our entrance exam is on the upper left side of this page, or you can click here.

The Flying Tigers Group operates a conglomerate of virtual airlines. We recommend that you sign up with your favorite airline in our group. Once you sign up there is no need to sign up again with any of our other virtual airlines. You will be able to login and fly for all of our VA's with one pilot ID. All flights, no matter which VA will be in your pilot logbook! It really makes no difference with which VA you sign up, since you can login to all of them. Our virtual airlines:

Choose your favorite airline, website or whatever criteria you choose and sign up.  We're all part of the same group!

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 VA's or quit over time.  Who would want to fly the same planes and routes all the time?  Boring.....not us!

This is where the Flying Tigers Group comes in.  You can fly for all of our VA's 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.

Because all of our VA's share our advanced automation features, a pilot only needs to sign up once.  Then with one pilot ID, a pilot can login to each VA's Operations Center.  What's really cool is that you can file a PIREP at any VA and it will count towards your total flight hours & rank!

This concept has created one of the most diverse groups of Flight Simulator fanatics we've ever seen!
