Thank you. Jetcard looks very cool. I’d like to build my own little charter or cargo flights using GA aircraft, my own plans, and fly them cleanly using IFR. Still recommend?
Tough say if you’re still the Target Audience. This is a full OFP Model, with Dispatch, FBO, Broker, itinerary, pax list, and a Live Weather route. At a tactical level, you show up prepared fly the client as a professional biz jet/turboprop pilot. I daresay the proper flight planning is at least a 45 minute task alone, working your way across the charter’s various tabs. All before you even get to engine start.
There’s a higher level meta game where you can run your own company and fleet.
It’s what Career could have been, if it was nurtured properly.
I’m totally down for a full OFP Model. I’ve spent many hours in Simbrief. Do plans integrate as well into the sim as they do from Simbrief?
They do indeed.
Honestly, I like the Meta Game as an individual pilot. There are hundreds of charters based on real world routes, and reasons to do so. Corporate exec team travel, well heeled folks going to a major sporting or entertainment event, medevacs.
Heck I had to learn the filters in a hurry to get past all the charters related to the World Cup. It’s really great.

@Quatzu5974 I moved our sub thread here so we’re not Off Topic on the ATC thread.
Yeah I recently got this product and I recommend, that kind of private jet “flying with an objective” is pretty cool imho, it could get a bit more elaborated I guess but maybe in the future ?
I agree that it’s a great program. Unfortunately, the developer did announce that other than small maintenance updates, he does not plan to further develop Jetcard. He did not expect it to get as popular as it did, and never planned a lengthy roadmap for longterm development.
I for one appreciate the up-front transparency and honesty. For the price of the product, I feel like it accomplishes what it sets out to do.
