Hello AVSIM community,
I've just released v0.2.2 of Aviator Ledger, a browser-based airline career simulator currently in free beta. I'd welcome feedback from experienced simmers and anyone with real-world aviation knowledge.
Website: aviatorledger.com — no account required, runs in your browser.
This update focused on a complete overhaul of the private aviation charter business system:
— Operating certificate fees scaling with fleet size (Part 135 style, $2K-$50K/month)
— Crew management with annual raises, seniority bonuses, morale tracking, and attrition
— Type rating enforcement on crew aircraft assignments
— Reputation system (0-100) gating client categories — Corporate at 50+, Sports Teams at 70+, Government contracts at 85+
— Monthly fuel price fluctuation ±15%
— Maintenance events including random groundings and mandatory annual inspections
— Fleet Finances tab with revenue trends and expense breakdowns
— Maintenance tab with inspection scheduling and event log
Also added a career leave of absence system (seniority preserved) and one-click career stats sharing.
The core career system remains the most detailed in the market for this type of application:
— 61 real airlines across all tiers
— FAA Part 117 fatigue rules enforced server-side (9h/24h + 30h rolling 7-day)
— 66 tax bracket systems including all 50 US states and 32 international systems
— Per-airline 401(k) employer match policies
— Duty rig pay at half rate, overtime at 1.5x above 90h/month
— Flight briefings with pax count, cargo, fuel estimate, and TOW
— Native log import for MSFS 2020/2024, X-Plane 11/12, and Aerofly FS4
— SimBrief OFP integration
— Built-in glass cockpit flight view by aircraft type
I'm particularly interested in feedback from anyone with Part 135 charter operations experience who can tell me where the business modeling is wrong.
