About United Virtual
We are a community-driven virtual airline built for serious flight simulation enthusiasts. Our goal is simple: provide the most authentic United Airlines virtual flying experience available.
Built by Simmers, For Simmers
United Virtual Airlines was founded by a group of flight simulation enthusiasts who wanted more than what the existing virtual airline landscape offered — a platform with real-world route accuracy, modern ACARS technology, and a community that takes the hobby seriously.
Built from day one to support every major desktop simulator — Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, MSFS 2024, X-Plane 11, X-Plane 12, and Prepar3D — so pilots can fly the airline on whatever rig they already love.
Every feature we build, every route we add, and every event we run is guided by one principle: give virtual pilots the most immersive and realistic experience possible.

Uncompromising Authenticity
Every route, procedure, and aircraft assignment mirrors real-world United Airlines operations as closely as simulation allows.
Community First
We are a people-first organization. Our Discord is active around the clock, our staff are approachable, and no question goes unanswered.
Modern Technology
Our custom ACARS platform, pilot hub, and tracking systems are purpose-built — not cobbled together from outdated VA software.
Continuous Growth
We never stop improving. New routes, new aircraft liveries, new events, and new features ship regularly based on pilot feedback.
