Can anyone offer an opinion on SimFly - what it might be?

Very intriguing and mysterious, as I suppose these things are supposed to be.

As long as it's actually something big and not like when LM and some devs spoke of something big and it turned out to be... I don't remember what it was.

Haha I remember this - and also have forgotten what the final offer was.. something like a jointly announced discount on a few things? That was a real fail.

Probably some sort of virtual airline / careers thing.

It was the Flight Sim Association. Not a member yet?

Kind regards, Michael

That Matt guy? From Sim Tweaks if I remember correctly? Shader utility for P3D.

Do you mean Matt Davies and PTA? If so that's not related to Simfly

SimFly is an organization similar to VATSIM or IVAO that tracks your flights and experience, awarding NFT tokens that can be exchanged for money. While the complete system is still in development, they upload weekly updates on their YouTube channel. Experience points are currently available to help you rank up your licenses, but the passenger (PAX) tokens for earning money are still being processed. As the development of SimFly progresses, the team is focusing on enhancing user engagement through various interactive features. Pilots will soon have the ability to participate in community events and challenges, which will not only boost their experience points but also foster a sense of camaraderie among users. These events will be designed to simulate real-world flying conditions, allowing pilots to hone their skills while competing for exclusive rewards.
 

It sounds like a Ponzi scheme....

At the very least a greater-fool one but ponzi seem likely.

More a traditional crypto scam than a Ponzi scheme (because they're not promising returns) but yeah.

That doesn't sound like Vatsim at all

First post on an almost two-year old thread.

Sounds fishy,
