Our goal

FlightDeck was built to enhance the virtual flying experience for everyone, without putting up a paywall.
We believe in a community-first approach: the more pilots can access our tools, the stronger the community becomes.

How We Fund the Platform

We collaborate with scenery developers, aircraft creators, and other flight simulation service providers.

• These partners may offer discounts or exclusive deals for our users.

• In return, we feature their products in our platform and events.

When you purchase certain products through our partner links, FlightDeck receives a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

• This helps cover server costs, development, and future features.

• Look for the “Affiliate Link” badge in our recommendations / promoted sections

We may offer a way for users to voluntarily support the project. This is entirely optional — no features will be locked behind donations.

What we will never do

• ❌ No mandatory subscriptions

• ❌ No selling your personal data

• ❌ No removing features to force payment

Why this matters to us

By keeping FlightDeck free:

• More pilots can join without financial barriers.

• The community grows stronger and more diverse.

• We can focus on innovation rather than restricting access.

Note: Supporting our partners through affiliate links or deals is the best way to help keep FlightDeck free while getting something in return.
