Please read this carefully to align expectations.
FrontierWings is already playable, but early access means you are joining while the platform is still maturing.
Before you register, it is important to understand what early access means here: you get the real live product, but some parts are still rough, some systems are intentionally limited, and the long-term vision is bigger than what is available today.
FrontierWings is built by a solo developer alongside family responsibilities and a full-time job (not at all related to FW), so issue responses and fixes cannot always come instantly and should not be expected within the hour; as the platform grows and generates a bit more income, more time can go into improving it and responding to support inquiries.
What early access means
- early access gives you access to the live platform as it improves
- the core bush pilot loop is already there, but likely needs some more balancing and polish
- roadmap items are direction, not promises or guaranteed delivery dates
- early access members help shape priorities through real usage and feedback
- even though FrontierWings is currently in early access, all pilot data will seamlessly carry over into the full release — so anything you achieve now will remain part of your permanent flight history
Current limitations
- FrontierWings currently supports Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 only
- the dedicated mission-tracking client is currently a Windows 10/11 desktop app
- it is unlikely that XBOX or PS5 will be supported in the future, because of their platform limitations
- FrontierWings is focused on the bush pilot loop of taking on missions and collecting rewards, it isn't and won't ever be a full airline or complex economy simulation
- content depth, mission variety, and supporting systems will continue to grow over time
- expect ongoing iteration on user experience, validation rules, rewards and presentation
What is included right now
- unlimited missions to fly all over the world
- up to six pilot personas for each account
- ability to found your own little flying companies to form communities and work towards shared goals
- career progression based on skill and effort
- leaderboards for all kinds of statistics
- monthly and special awards and milestones to chase
- support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- a dedicated Windows 10/11 client for mission tracking and upload
Early access pricing
- the current early access price is EUR 6.99 per month
- that support helps fund development, infrastructure, and the Windows tracking client
- early access payments are non-refundable once access has been granted
- please only sign up if you are comfortable joining a product that is still evolving
Roadmap direction
The early access phase is expected to last between 6 months and a year.
These are the kinds of improvements planned while the platform keeps maturing. They are ideas, not promises. And, of course, the end of early access will not mean that the platform stops evolving. But things will likely move more slowly after that because adding features to increasingly complex systems usually takes more time.
More career depth
- more mission variety and more specialized contract types, also depending on regions and seasons
- more awards, achievement tiers, and pilot milestones to chase
- richer career history and better public pilot pages
Wider platform support
- support for additional simulators in the future (I'd love to support X-Plane)
- support for VR users via EFB integration
- broader operating system support beyond the first Windows client release
General improvements
- smoother onboarding for new pilots
- improved mission briefings, weather context, and route guidance
- possibly integration with external tools and ATC systems (e.g. SimBrief)
- continued improvements to reliability, validation quality, and telemetry recording
