A Virtual Airline for MSFS, X-Plane and P3D – Powered by FsHub
 
​
What is it?
FireFly Air is the virtual airline of the twotonemurphy community.
It uses the amazing free infrastructure of FsHub which is a simple, free to use website and is designed to work alongside the freeware Landing Rate Monitor (LRM) on your PC or let you generate manual entries via a PIREP for Xbox.
​
​
What can it do?

Track, record and review your flights
View landing rates 
Generate virtual experience points with the new economy mode. 
Upload screenshots of your flight which can include geo-tagging. 
​
LRM?
​
LRM monitors your flight progress, it can display your takeoff/landing data right onto your screen and sends this data to FsHub for your FireFly Air career!
​
LRM features an EFB tab via a browser, a "Radar" to see where others are flying and some custom audio announcements like clapping in the cabin, when you butter those landings or, well, not so butter them.
​
 For Xbox Pilots, we also have your covered! You can manually submit a PIREP (pilots report) to Firefly Air and we can add this data to your profile. 
​
With the new Economy Mode, you can now generate experience points by flying special events and some scheduled Company Routes. 
​
There are no restrictions on aircraft types and with a number of events and routes already created, you are sure to have fun flying with FireFly Air.
​
Step 1 
Click button to register with FShub

Once registered apply to Firefly Air , you should be accepted fairly quickly
Murph will get an email and will activate your account as soon as possible. If there are any delays, you can send him a message on Discord

​​
​Step 2
Download the Landing Rate Monitor (LRM).

There are 2 LRM clients, one using FSUIPC which is a legacy way to install it, or a Beta version of the a new SimConnect based LRM client.

Steps for both are listed below, FSUIPC (2a) and Simconnect (2b).

Step 2a USING FSUIPC:

Once installed, link LRM to FsHub via the Preferences Menu, located under Edit in the top menu ribbon, your setting should look like the below. Once you have been excepted by FFA re-sync your profile. 
To SYNC/ RE- SYNC 
In the second screenshot below press the SYNC button, this will add any airlines you are part to the dropdown (where  Firefly Air is in the screenshot)  
You should then be able to select FFA using the drop down.

If you have selected the airline correctly it will look like this. Connected at the bottom will only appear after you have installed FSUIPC
​
​

LRM requires you to have FSUIPC or XPUIPC installed which you can get from below links, it will directly download to your computer.

​
​Once downloaded run it and LRM and you should see connected in the main LRM window if it worked correctly.​
​
​​Or Step 2b USING SIMCONNECT:
A short tutorial video was created to walk through the steps involved in setting up LRM using the beta SimConnect client here:

Every completed flight report will be sent to the FireFly-Air channel on the TTM Discord so we can also keep track of things there.
 
This concept is to encourage our community members to fly together, have fun and compete for achievements, the smoothest landings and the most virtual miles flown!

We have a number of hubs located throughout the world which are available to view on our airline map linked below

​
 Step 3 XBOX PILOTS ONLY
​
Once you have signed up to Firefly Air, you can now access the Crew Portal. From here, select PIREP and submit the information into the fields and submit - we look after the rest!
