Becoming a Supporter
To fly on Tailstrike is free, and it stays free. Supporters are the pilots who pay for the operation of Tailstrike. They get perks that shape the shared world. The perks never give an advantage in flight. Flights, records and your logbook are never behind a payment.
What a Supporter gets
- Add permanent aircraft to the shared world: 2 add-aircraft credits at your subscription, then one more credit for each two paid months. An annual subscription gives its year of credits immediately: 8 in your first year. See Adding aircraft to the network.
- Intelligent Dispatch on each lease: an AI flight assignment when you want one. A free pilot gets 15 credits to try it. See Intelligent Dispatch.
- Patron an aircraft: put your name on an aircraft that you like. The first aircraft is included. More slots cost $3 each. See Patron an aircraft.
- One-click launch and sync from the plugin, directly into your leased aircraft. Launch operates on X-Plane today. On MSFS, the plugin aligns your aircraft when you are in a flight.
- Supporter status on your profile and in our Discord.
The price
- $7 for each month, or $69 for each year (the year price is two months less). The payment goes through Stripe. You can cancel at each moment, in your settings.
- While the founder offer is open, a new Supporter gets the founder price: $5 for each month, or $50 for each year. You keep this price while your subscription continues. Founders also get the Founder badge on their hangar.
- The Supporter page shows the current plans.
Note
Supporter perks add to the world. They do not close a part of it. Each aircraft that a Supporter adds is public, and each pilot can fly it. An aircraft with a patron stays in the shared fleet.
