Getting Started

You can download our vaBase ACARS software from the downloads page when you log in to the website. The ACARS software supports all flight simulators and provides a seamless integration experience.

• Use your Email Address, Pilot ID, and Password to log in to the ACARS software. (*Remember to run the vaBase Acars software as an administrator, otherwise it will not work. You will also need FSUIPC or XPUIPC)
• The Operation Centre will have some suggested flights and aircrafts based on your location. More flights and aircrafts to fly can be found on the schedules page.

Suggested Flights and Live Departures

Suggested Flights are random flights from your current virtual airport, while Live Departures are real-world flights. Both tabs give you options to fly any flight you want. To do so, simply enter the flight number, departure, arrival and aircraft infrormation in Simbrief to generate a flight plan and loadsheet.

Scheduled & Charter Flights

Live Departures are considered as scheduled flights while all other flights are considered as charter flights. All flights are recorded and logged with the ACARS system including landing rate and performance score.

To find a flight, visit the schedule & charter flights page.

The Flight

There are different ways to start a flight;

1. Fastest: Pick a flight either from the Suggested Flights or Live Departures tab, then use the flight number and arrival airport to generate a flight on SimBrief. When you open acars software, import from SimBrief to load the flight data. This is fastest way to start a flight since it saves time on manual data entry.
2. Dispatch the flight from the website, generate the flight plan on SimBrief, open the acars software then fill out the missing information like alternative airport, altitude, payload and more from SimBrief. Dispatch is not really necessary. The ACARS software will record the flight regardless. However, when flying a Tour or Event, dispatching is required otherwise the flight will may not be recognized by the Tour/Event system.

Your flight simulator should be ready at this point. Make sure to Start Flight on the ACARS software before starting your engines.

If the ACARS software is not connecting to the simulator, it's because you are missing FSUIPC/XPUIPC, or the ACARS software wasn't opened in Administrator mode.

We are still working on flight schedules, so if we are missing a flight from somewhere, please let us know.
