What is FSEconomy?

FSEconomy is a multi-player "persistent world" add-on for flight simulators, with an economical focus. It is "persistent" because the aspects of the game - aircraft location and fuel levels, etc. - are controlled by the players. Other players see changes in these items within the "game world".

FSEconomy is not a Virtual Airline. There is no schedule; there are no "levels"; there are no requirements to start from the bottom and work your way up. However, many VAs do use the FSEconomy system to operate their VA.

FSEconomy strives to be a framework within which players can decide what FSE is to them... their "style of play" is the phrase frequently used. It is an open-ended platform, allowing each member to tailor their experience to their individual liking. Some members choose to use FSEconomy completely on their own; others choose to work with a few other players; and still others choose to join one or more communities of made up of dozens of other players.

The basic concept of FSEconomy is that players use aircraft to move virtual passengers or cargo. Players can own their own aircraft, or rent them from other players or from "the system". Players must be aware of their aircraft's capabilities and fuel levels so that they can carry the cargo selected, or to not become stranded at an airport without fuel. There are many expenses associated with every flight - rental charges, fuel costs, etc.; as well as income from the virtual passengers or cargo. The goal is to make more income than associated operating expenses.

This thread will be used as an ongoing change log for updates to the FSE Airport Database. Admin staff will post a reply when the next round of changes have been determined, and what those changes will be. Intent is to provide a short lead time (several days) between the announcement and the implementation.

Terms of Service

Most websites have a user agreement or EULA of some sort. FSEconomy is no exception. However, unlike other sites where you "agree" without actually reading, the FSE ToS is very important to our game play. Many of our game world's rules are integrity based (not software enforced), and violating these rules (knowingly or unknowingly) can result in the loss of your account.

Please take a few minutes to read over our rules, and agree to play according to the "Spirit of FSE" before requesting an account.
