This will answer the most questions

If you have time for a one-hour flight, then pick a one-hour flight. You may pause your simulator within reasonable limits when using our vmsACARS or smartCARS3 system. Our staff will check your PIREP.

If you send a correctly tracked flight, you will timely receive your logged hours after a staff member reviews your flight or if you own a higher rank, your PIREP will automatically processed. Please keep in mind that all PIREPs with a landing rate of more than -650 ft/min will automatically be rejected!

Depends, we provide a large network of flights. Change the routes nearly every 3 months and try to match the schedules of the real-world flights for our provided airline. We also offer charters, tours and much more to give you a bit more freedom to choose your flight.

Transferred hours from another virtual airline could be displayed on your public profile page. Notice though that transferred hours are not taken into account for rank progress. If you are a pilot at Virtual FIN or pther partner airline, you have the privilege that all hours will count toward your rank progress at Virtual Cargo International.

You have 14 days to complete your first flight and send your initial PIREP before your account will be deleted without further notification. After your first flight, you will have to file a PIREP once every 30 days to stay active. After 90 days of inactivity, your account will be deleted.

Virtual Cargo International uses vmsACARS in the first place to track your flight. We also provide smartCARS3(after the software reaches a usable state) developed by TFDi Design to automatically record your flight to make it easy.

You can secure your account from deleting by activating your Leave of Absence, when not able to do a flight within 30 to 90 days. The Leave of Absence is a period when the pilot is to be considered on leave. We have basically shop items to buy those LoA Vouchers.

We want to include as many people as possible in this great hobby, therefore we let you decide to fly online or offline. If you want to fly online though, we will support you to fly on VATSIM. IVAO, Poscon or PilotEdge.

We have created a Discord server, for people that want to get involved with our Virtual Airline and flight simmers. We invite you to join our Discord server, where helpful people are waiting to answer all your questions.

Relax and do not bid and block every flight we have in our schedule and be a nice pilot, every bid will be automatically deleted if your flights are not flown within 24 hours after bidding!
