Air Hauler for X-Plane puts you in complete control of your own freight company – take charge of operations both in the boardroom and in the cockpit.
The limitless possibilities and flexibility of Air Hauler will let you immerse yourself totally in every operational detail of your freight company - each crucial flight will have an effect on the reputation and reach of your expanding freight empire.
The level of complexity is up to you - simply fly jobs between bases and buy or lease aircraft, or carve out a career in the air freight industry by hiring AI pilots, trading shares on the stock market with real-world prices, and even risking everything on loans to fill your ultimate freight hangar.
Air Hauler tracks all your financial activity, whether you're buying aircraft or air bases, fuel or repairs, or paying for landing fees or even loans and leases. Take out insurance if you think the part-time pilots you've hired might let you down when you can least afford it.
As the pilot charged with delivering the goods on time, you can decide to fly a job in multiple legs, or stop anywhere en route for refuelling or maintenance. Contend with real-world weather conditions if you want the extra challenge and keep a watchful eye on your fuel economy - the price of fuel in Air Hauler can vary with the real-world price of aviation fuel for added realism!
See where other online Air Hauler pilots are in the world and what they are hauling using the Air Hauler radar. Upload your stats to the leaderboard to find out who is king of the haulage world.
If your management skills are needed in the boardroom, then recruit other pilots to fly jobs for you and keep track of them all with the AI pilot system. Detailed Map views showing all the airports in X-Plane will help you keep tabs on available jobs and the locations of your bases and fleet.
Air Hauler puts you in charge every step of the way - from landings to leases, flight plans to finances, and repairs to recruitment.
