FDXvirtual / About

What sets us apart from other FedEx virtual airlines

We stand out in 4 ways: real schedules, real procedures, a modern platform and a community that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

01 Schedules

Accurate flight schedules

Our modern schedule matches real-world FedEx Express operations flight for flight and is updated regularly. We also run historic schedules, so you can keep flying the MD-11, the Mighty Dog, after FedEx retires it.

02 Procedures

Standard operating procedures

A growing library of standard operating procedures (SOPs), checklists and documentation, built on the real-world experience of the aviation professionals in our community.

03 Platform

Built on the modern vAMSYS platform

We run on vAMSYS, with SimBrief built in. You book a flight and get a full briefing package, and the Pegasus tracker records the flight and files your pilot report (PIREP) for you.

04 Community

A unique atmosphere

We have no CEO and no pretend job titles. We’re aviation enthusiasts building a virtual airline that’s realistic where it counts and relaxed where it doesn’t.

05 / Flying online

Flying online is optional

We encourage our pilots to fly online with VATSIM, PilotEdge or IVAO, the main online air traffic control (ATC) networks, but we do not require it.

Network / VATSIM

Free online ATC network, staffed by volunteer controllers

Network / PE

Subscription ATC service, run to real-world standards

Network / IVAO

International Virtual Aviation Organisation, a free online ATC network

06 / Disclaimer

FDXvirtual is not a real airline or a shipping company

We are a virtual airline

That means a group of aviation enthusiasts who simulate the real-world operations of an actual airline (in our case, FedEx Express) in flight simulators like Prepar3D, X-Plane 12 and Microsoft Flight Simulator.

We cannot ship boxes, envelopes, tubes or pallets. If you came here to send something, use your shipping company’s website.
