Just Flight has released Fly the Line – Airline Edition, an updated and expanded version of its airline career add-on introducing long-haul operations and several new features. Existing owners of Fly the Line – Short Haul Edition can upgrade free of charge.
The headline feature is support for long-haul airline flying, allowing virtual pilots to progress from regional routes to international operations while continuing their careers through a structured ranking system. The add-on tracks pilot performance, airline reputation and career progression throughout each flight.
Also included is a new Schedule Manager, enabling users to create, edit and share custom airline schedules. This allows the community to build and distribute both real-world and fictional airline operations.
Fly the Line – Airline Edition remains compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 11 and 12, Prepar3D and FSX.
Fly the Line – Airline Edition is available now from Just Flight for £27.99. Existing Short Haul Edition owners can download the update at no extra cost through their Just Flight account.
