iBase2Go 3.0 and Virtual EWG
Written by Thorsten Sass Staff
Hey Pilots,
you know me, I am a big aviation fan, private and occupational. Now I have two big announcements my friends.
A few month ago, I got the opportunity to build a new airline from scratch which was founded by Charly Teapoint back in May 2015. And now is the day, you guys are one of the first who can check out my new project.
## Virtual EWG | A Eurowings, Eurowings Discover and airBaltic virtual airline ##
If you love to fly passengers in europe and around the world, like the new A320 Neo, the fabulous new A220 from airBaltic or the classic A319/A320/A321 and finally the fashion of the B738 Max, you will love to fly with us! For our long haul fans, Eurowings Discover have the beautiful A330 where you can take place and fly to your next lovely destination.
You want everything as real as it gets? We provide the current and complete summer schedule bonded with their original fleet with registrations. With daily changing schedules you'll find the right flight. If not, try one of our fabulous tours or charter your own personal flight. Every VCI Pilot will get his hours transferred, that includes rank progress!
But enough written text, please visit the new homepage and discord, so you can make your own opinion about us and join at will.

The second announcement I want to tell you guys is, from know on I start working on iBase2Go 3.0! This will be a complete overhaul including frontend, backend and of course schedules for all known airlines we do currently support! And yes, I'll not give you any release date. But I've plans for summer 2024.
As this is a big step, for Virtual Cargo International and for me, I hope you guys will further support me and my projects.
Thank you all very much, kind regards

Written by Thorsten Sass Staff
Hey Pilots, it is time to reach the next step. All Virtual Cargo International pilots are now be able to install and use smartCARS 3! But please be aware that smartCARS 3 is still in beta so there might be some bugs and issues you will find and maybe run into. But of course, if you have any questions, feel free to ask us on our discord server! I've published a new page in iBase2Go where you can find all the information you need to start the new journey.
- You can find this page and all the download options here: https://ibase2go.virtualcargo.international/index.php/helpCARS3
- Or of course you can use the top menu: Pilot -> smartCARS 3
- Alternative go to our Download Center -> Flight Essentials where you can find the smartCARS 3 installer
Again, please be aware this is a beta. The implementation was straight forward, but to use all the new features and test them needs a bit of time and help. So if you notice any issue please let me know in our ?vci-support channel.
Best Regards
