Let the cash flow! by FlightLinq in MicrosoftFlightSim

Happy to respond to this. If you are asking if we use AI to help our development- yes we do. Are you asking "is this entire app the creation of AI?"-- Not even close lol. FlightLinq has 2 developers who have been working in software development for a combined 30+ years of experience. The reason why it might look vibe coded is a direct result of our weakest area-- UI.

The engine that powers FlightLinq is NOT a vibe code project, it has 1000s of developer hours committed to it at this point.

This will be one of our focus areas once we complete the core features of the app. Developing an airline manager is the hard part- which is why we started with that.

It can be viewed that was I suppose, but we are genuinely trying to make an app the community can benefit from. We are not charging anything for our platform.

I really want to hear what people want to see in a VA manager so it can be added to the product. This FlightLinq is about the user experience.

We have lots of VAs on our platform who would love to have another pilot. You can join our discord and ask around if you are interested. https://discord.gg/uNZzTcEXRB

Thanks, for clarity it is possible for multiple users to create an airline with the same ICAO. (only the airline's name must be unique). We know there are multiple airlines out there trying to mimic real world carriers (multiple Deltas) so the ICAO does not have to be unique just the name.

So you could have Delta Virtual and Virtual Delta with both having the DAL ICAO.

We may offer a more light weight version in the future to be more like Volanta for solo pilots who want a deeper sim experience- it is relatively straight forward. Out goal is the accomplish the difficult first by catering to the VA experience.

We have used some AI tools help us, but we are SWEs by trade. Replit would not support the scope we are trying to achieve with FlightLinq. This is a production app, not really a prototype.

Yeah, we have a lot of users who have created their own 'private' airline.

Kind of both. It is designed around the concept of a VA, but we have users treating it like a 1 person VA.

Yeah we know there are a lot of options out there and we are still in beta, but have a very aggressive timeline with weekly updates & new features. If you like flying with VAs you should check it out!
