Thought you couldn’t join from a console? Think again!
Packet Virtual Airline welcomes pilots on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 flying Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with no extra software required and full access to our routes, tours and community – entirely free to join, of course.
Microsoft Flight Simulator on Playstation 5
New for December 2025, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Playstation 5 is bringing a whole new generation of Flight Simmers to the world.
Packet Virtual Airline – for the community
We are community focused and we do things differently. We offer a much more unique approach than being just another virtual airline.
Xbox Series S and Series X
Not so new to the Flight Simulator community. When introduced, the Xbox Series S and Series X users brought a whole new dynamic to the Flight Simulator world.
Bringing the community together, one console at a time
We are here to build an enthusiastic community to enjoy what we do. Yet at the same time give all the support needed for those that want to take simming as seriously as possible, without any judgement. No toxic environments here.
How do I get involved on console when I can’t run extra programs?
How do I get involved on console when I can’t run extra programs?
We have a manual PIREP function built in to our Crew Centre, specifically for console users like you. Just a few small bits of information from your SimBrief flight plan and you’ll be away!
Can I download the liveries on Xbox or Playstation 5?
Currently no, which is a massive shame! Microsoft and Asobo restrict what can be added to a console simulator. Only items within the Marketplace can be downloaded. The process for getting our liveries on to the marketplace includes proving there is demand for them, so once we have a few regular console users we can work to push our liveries on to there for you.
We are one of the original airlines offering console users a virtual home
We’ve been an active Virtual Airline since 2021 and we were one of the first to welcome Xbox users in to our community, using our manual PIREP functionality. We want everyone to feel like they are part of the Flight Simulation community, regardless of the method they come to fly with us!
