The Vaeroly app · ACARS

Every flight recorded, straight from the simulator

One app for every airline you fly for. It finds your booked flight, records it from the simulator and files the PIREP when you park.

  • Landing analysisFlight phases, landing rate, approach checks and the whole track, even if your connection drops.
  • Dispatch in the cockpitMessages from dispatch right in the app, and a Vaeroly panel in the MSFS toolbar so you can stay in the cockpit.
  • What changed for youAfter each update, the changes for your simulator and aircraft come first, so you know what's different before your next flight.
  • Sign in onceSign in once with your browser, or scan a code from the website with your phone: no password to type. Your next booking loads by itself, and the app keeps itself up to date.

For airline staff

Run it like a real operation

Everything your staff need in one place, and nothing for you to host.

  • Staff toolsReview queue, staff roles, PIREP comments, hub transfers, documents and an audit log.
  • Staff step in when a flight goes wrongCancel a pilot's booking with a reason they see, file a PIREP for a flight ACARS lost, and decide PIREPs, applications and transfers from the EFB's Staff tab, on a phone too.
  • Move your airline hereA guided move in five steps: fleet, routes and airports, pilots and their hours, flight history, then the invitation.
  • Company routesSave your standard routing on each route: dispatch fills it in and sends it to SimBrief.
  • Ranks & scoringRanks by hours, points or flights, with your own scoring rules.
  • Discord botPilots link in your server; nicknames become their pilot ID; flights and news posted for you.
More tools for staff
  • Fly from anywhere to anywhereLet pilots fly charters between any two airports, off your routes and hubs: a light aircraft flight, for example.
  • Charter tripsPilots plan a charter of several legs from anywhere to anywhere; each leg is booked for them when they file the leg before it.
  • ATC online at your airportsPilots see the VATSIM and IVAO controllers online at each flight's departure and arrival, and can list only flights with ATC.
  • VATSIM rating on applicationsApplicants can show you their VATSIM pilot rating and hours, only if they choose to.
  • Landing coachPilots see their landings as a trend, by aircraft type, with one tip to work on.
  • VATSIM group flightsThe event page shows who is connected on VATSIM, and an event's bonus can go only to flights seen there.
  • VATSIM events in one clickSee the VATSIM events at your hubs and routes, and add one as an airline event with its name, time and airports filled in.
  • Pilot inbox and notificationsSend a message to one pilot, a hub, a rank or everyone, and pilots reply in private. Pilots without the phone app get a notification in their browser too.
  • Mentor programmePair each new pilot with an experienced mentor who notes their first flights and signs them off. Pilots who fly for real can ask staff to verify it and get a badge.
  • VATSIM track on claimsWith the pilot's tick, a flight claim shows staff where VATSIM saw them, next to the screenshots.
  • Public route listShow your fleet and scheduled routes on a public page that search engines find. Off until you turn it on.
  • Our crew hereEach airport shows your crew's usual runway, average landing, go-arounds and tips you approve.

Built for online flying

Fly your airline's schedule on VATSIM and IVAO

Vaeroly is a crew centre, not a network: pilots connect to VATSIM or IVAO with the networks' own software, as always. We help them do it properly:

  • Correct ICAO callsigns and flight plans, prefiled from SimBrief to VATSIM and IVAO in one click.
  • A check that the callsign is free before you connect.
  • Flights confirmed as flown online from the networks' public data, so airlines can reward online flying.
  • The VATSIM CID is filled in and confirmed when a pilot signs in with VATSIM; IVAO IDs stay on the profile. We never connect to a network for them.

Vaeroly is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by VATSIM or IVAO. Pilots flying online follow each network's Code of Conduct and rules. See our Privacy Policy for the network data we use.

Everything a virtual airline needs

Built for pilots who fly seriously and staff who run it like a business.

Phone second screenFollow your own flight on a phone next to the simulator, with the landing rate in large text right after touchdown. Training sessionsInstructors offer time slots, pilots book them or ask for a topic, and after each session the instructor notes how it went and whether the pilot is ready for the checkride.
