I recently got the Q4XP and discovered Widerøe flies nice domestic routes in Norway. Perfect for a short 50min flight for example. I found widerøevirtual.online - a phpVms based VA. I liked what it offers: an overview of real life flights which you can choose to fly, helps you in creating a simbrief OFP. It seems a bit quiet here though, small group of members (which is nice I think) and you’ll have to wait on manual pirep approval. The VA seems new-ish, lets hope it grows a bit and becomes somewhat more active.
I’m also a member of klm-va.nl which is much more free: you can choose to fly real life scheduled flights (get more points for that) but you can just fly any dep-arr you like in whatever plane - and still get points for it.
I’ve also tried several VA’s based on the vamSys software - the most modern and solid build va-system I think. They’ve got some very active communities, which is also a very nice part of flying with a VA.
I’m wondering what others experiences are with flying on the sim with a virtual airline?
I fly with Widerøe (as a passenger) a couple of times every month. Usually ~55minute flights. ENBL is my local airport.
My favorite route, though, is where I grew up: ENBN -> ENMS. I flew that whenever I was visiting my grandmother. I don’t remember how long that flight took, but it couldn’t have been much more than 20 minutes. Plus the beetween-mountain-approach to ENMS is spectacular.
