FrontierWings is an Early Access platform for virtual bush pilots, built around a simple idea: flying should matter.
It’s a mission and progression layer for Microsoft Flight Simulator that adds purpose to your flights.
Instead of focusing on money, aircraft ownership, or management systems, FrontierWings keeps the experience centered on flying itself.
- Take on missions all over the world, wherever you want to fly
- Fly any aircraft you like — no ownership, no restrictions
- No in-game economy or artificial progression systems
- Progress is based on how you fly, not how much money you make
- Experience a mix of handcrafted tours and dynamically generated missions
- A public pilot profile where your flights and achievements become part of a visible career
FrontierWings runs alongside the simulator and does not modify core files. It tracks your flights and builds a persistent pilot career over time.
Missions are primarily designed with small to medium regional aircraft in mind — if you enjoy flying Cessnas, Kodiaks, Beavers, and similar aircraft, this is where FrontierWings really shines.
You’re still free to fly any aircraft you like, but the experience is built around operations where smaller aircraft feel at home. Trying to land a Triple Seven on an unimproved strip in PNG is… a special kind of challenge.
If you’re in this for the flying rather than managing spreadsheets, FrontierWings might be what you’re looking for.
Sign up for a 7-day-trial, no strings attached (no payment details necessary for the trial!).
Here’s a Youtube video showing how the platform basically works (I’ll need to update the video soon because it does not anymore entirely reflect the latest features).
A couple of screenshots to give you an idea what it looks and feels like.
I expect there will be some valid questions about FrontierWings, so I’ll try to address a few of them upfront.
1. Q: This looks like an indie project. How can I be sure it will still be around in 6 months?
A: That’s a fair question.
Flight simulation has been a big part of my life for over 30 years, and FrontierWings is built as a long-term project — not something I plan to drop after a few months.
If you’re looking for a track record, I’ve been running https://www.flightsimsafaris.com for over a year now, a platform for group flights that I actively maintain alongside FrontierWings.
2. Q: Why should I pay for this when there are free virtual airlines and career systems?
A: Also a fair point — and ultimately, it comes down to what kind of experience you’re looking for.
FrontierWings takes a different approach compared to most VAs or career tools. It doesn’t focus on money, fleets, or company management. Instead, it’s built around bush flying and purpose-driven missions, without an economy or excessive grind loop.
The idea is simple: you fly because you want to fly — and the platform gives that structure and continuity.
It won’t replace existing VAs for everyone, and it’s not meant to. But for pilots who prefer a more focused, flying-first experience, it offers something different. And I’m genuinely putting in a lot of (enjoyable) work to make it happen, along with friendly support as quickly as I am able. I believe that’s worth something.
3. Q: Why isn’t this an in-simulator addon? What about VR users?
A: FrontierWings was designed from the start as a platform that runs alongside the simulator rather than modifying it. This keeps the simulator setup clean and avoids compatibility issues.
It also allows for flexibility in the long term, including potential support for other simulators.
That said, I’m aware that especially VR users prefer to stay inside the cockpit as much as possible. I’ve been exploring options like an EFB-style interface, but that comes with technical challenges and wasn’t something I wanted to delay the initial release for.
It’s definitely something I’d like to improve over time.
4. Q: I’m sick of companies collecting as much data as possible to sell it. Your product is a cloud platform — I don’t like that.
A: That’s another completely valid concern.
FrontierWings is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. The only required personal information is your email address and name — there is no need to provide any other additional personal details.
Flight data is limited to what’s necessary to track and validate missions (such as position, altitude, and flight state), and is used solely to build your pilot record within the platform.
Payments are handled externally via Stripe, so FrontierWings itself does not store any payment details.
There is no selling of user data, no advertising tracking, and no third-party analytics used to profile users.
FrontierWings operates under EU data protection standards (GDPR), which means data is handled with strict limitations and user rights in mind.
I’ve also worked as a data protection officer myself for several years, so this is something I take seriously by default.
I’m building this as a platform I would want to use myself — and that includes being careful about what data is collected in the first place.
In short: only what’s necessary to make the platform work, and nothing beyond that.
