How it works

Three pieces, one flight. Set up once, then just fly.

  1. 01

    Install the Bridge

    Extract the download and run flyrotate.exe on the PC you fly on. It finds MSFS by itself, connects through SimConnect and waits quietly in the tray.

    Windows 10/11 · MSFS 2020 & 2024
  2. 02

    Get hired

    Spend your starter credits on a type rating, apply to an airline that flies it, sign the offer, and your first roster is waiting.

    Starter credits · 30 days free
  3. 03

    Fly, and watch it land

    Start the leg in the Bridge. Every phase is scored as you fly, your phone follows live, and the debrief is ready at the gate.

Product tour

One account, two screens. Here is what they look like.

Pick a screen. The phone follows your flight anywhere; the Bridge on your PC has every feature on a bigger screen.

Features

Everything between pushback and your next promotion.

01 · Before you fly

Your next leg, ready when you are.

Your airline flies real routes. Open Dispatch and the next leg is there, with a SimBrief link already filled in. Pull the OFP back and the briefing shows the route, fuel plan, load sheet, METAR and TAF, and tells you whether the sim is ready to go.

  • Warns when the OFP is for another leg or aircraft
  • Runway picker from your scenery, with a crosswind and tailwind check
  • One Live Flight menu walks you through Dispatch, Brief and Live, in order
The career

From your first type rating to the left seat.

A career in Rotate works like one at an airline. Everything below is in the phone app and the Bridge, and it all moves with the flights you actually fly.

  1. 01

    Earn a type rating

    Spend credits in the Hangar on the type you want to fly. Bigger types open up as your rank grows, and some need a recurrent every few months to stay valid for airline work.

    Hangar · credits · recurrents
  2. 02

    Find an airline

    Browse the job market by tier, from flag carriers to feeders, by region and by type, or show only airlines you already qualify for. Each one lists its fleet, routes, open seats and requirements.

    Job market · up to 5 applications
  3. 03

    Sign the right offer

    Offers sit side by side: salary, weekly target, the bonus or cut for hitting or missing it, the early-exit penalty and an estimate of what you would earn a week at your pace.

    Open-ended or fixed-term
  4. 04

    Build your roster

    Generate a schedule from your base as a round trip, random or random continued, check its block time and pay, then accept it. Plans change? Swap a leg in the app up to two hours before departure.

    A leg missed by 6 h pays half
  5. 05

    Claim your weekly pay

    Every leg counts towards the weekly target in your contract. At the end of the week you claim the pay, with the bonus when you met the target and the cut when you did not.

    Salary · per-flight pay · credits
  6. 06

    Move up a seat

    Each rank asks for validated hours and a minimum rating over your last 20 flights, and some add a check ride to your roster. Make it and Rotate gives you a promotion moment worth sharing.

    Second Officer → Training Captain
Fair by design

A score you can argue with, and usually won't.

Every flight starts at 100 points, shared across the phases you actually fly. The rules are fixed, published and the same for everyone, and every penalty tells you exactly what it saw.

5 s

Held, not peaked

Speed and attitude limits are judged on what you hold for five seconds, not on a gust. The report still prints both: “250 kt held, 253 kt peak”.

Vmo

Limits follow your aircraft

Vref comes from the landing-configuration stall speed, Vmo is read from the sim, and six aircraft classes, from light pistons to wide bodies, set the bank, pitch, descent and taxi limits.

OFP

Transition altitude from your plan

Not a fixed 10,000 ft. New Zealand transitions at 13,000, parts of Europe at 5,000, and your OFP knows which one you are flying.

1,000 ft

Stabilised or not

At a thousand feet the approach should be done: gear down, landing flaps, speed near Vref, sinking no faster than 1,000 fpm.

Gate

Scored gate to gate

End flight unlocks only after you land, stop at a gate at your destination and shut the engines down. No score skips the taxi-in.

Slew

No shortcuts

Pausing or slewing once the flight is under way costs points, and the server checks every score sheet before it is recorded. The debrief also sets the fuel you burned against the plan.

Goals beyond the next leg.

Achievements

From your first butter landing to a thousand hours. Five tiers, a few secrets, and the share of pilots who earned each one.

Tours

Routes flown leg by leg for a badge. Fly each leg as a normal flight and it counts.

Events

Limited-time challenges with their own board. New ones are announced in your notifications.

Leaderboards

Weekly, monthly and all-time, by flight hours, XP, average score or butter landings. Worldwide, in your country or your airline.

Rotate Bridge for Windows

Your PC reads the sim. Your phone rides along.

A small app that connects to MSFS through SimConnect, waits for the sim on its own and streams your flight to the Rotate server. It only reads the simulator; it never changes or injects anything.

Phone and PC

What each screen does.

The Bridge is the one that reads the sim, so a flight is always recorded on your PC. Almost everything else is on both, so you can run your career from whichever screen is closer.

FAQ

Questions pilots ask first

Which simulators are supported?

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 on Windows, Steam or Microsoft Store edition, through SimConnect. Rotate only reads the simulator. It never changes or injects anything into it.

Do I need the PC app if I have the phone app?

Yes. The Bridge on your PC reads the simulator and sends the flight to the Rotate server, and your phone follows it from there. That is why the phone works on any network, not only your home Wi-Fi.

Is there a free plan?

There is no permanent free plan, but every new account gets 30 days of Pro from the day it signs up, with no card needed. After that, starting and recording new flights needs Pro. Your logbook, career, credits and achievements stay open either way.

What happens if my internet drops mid-flight?

The Bridge keeps recording on your PC. Live data waits in a local buffer and is sent the moment you reconnect, and the finished flight is saved on your PC before it uploads, so nothing is lost if you close the app or lose Wi-Fi at the gate.

How is the score calculated?

Every flight has 100 points, shared across the phases you actually fly. Penalties come off for things like missed lights, speed limits, gear left down, pausing or slewing, unstable approaches and hard landings, each explained in the debrief. Speed, attitude and taxi limits are judged on what you hold for five seconds and follow your aircraft. The rules are fixed and the same for everyone, and our server checks every score sheet before it is recorded.

Can I fly without an airline contract?

No. Every Rotate flight is a leg on an airline roster. Buy a type rating, apply to an airline that flies it and sign the contract; your roster is waiting in Dispatch, and its SimBrief briefing is one click away. The one exception is tours and events: their legs are flown from your own SimBrief OFP, with or without a contract.

What happens if I miss a rostered leg?

A leg you accepted stays on your roster until you fly it. If it has not been flown six hours after its scheduled arrival, it is marked missed and costs half its pay. If your plans change, swap the leg in the phone app up to two hours before departure; each week has a limited number of swaps.

How do I get the Android app?

The Android app is in closed testing on Google Play, which only installs a test app for its testers. With the Google account on your phone, join the Rotate beta group, then open the tester link in the Download section, tap Become a tester and install from Google Play. It can take a few minutes after you join before Google lets you in.

Is Rotate available in Bahasa Indonesia?

The phone app is in English and Bahasa Indonesia; switch between them in your profile. The Windows Bridge is in English for now.

Which aircraft can I fly?

Any aircraft in MSFS; the scoring limits adapt to it. Flying for an airline needs a type rating on one of the types in its fleet, and there are more than 110 types in the hangar.

Where do the Rotate EFB's data and charts come from?

Airports, runways, frequencies and navaids from OurAirports; METAR, TAF and SIGMETs from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center; airport diagrams from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors); charts for US airports from the FAA; and links to each country's official AIP site. Takeoff and landing performance is worked out by Rotate from public figures for each type. All of it is for flight simulation only, never for a real flight.

Monthly or Lifetime — what is the difference?

Features are identical. Monthly is Rp49.000 in Indonesia or $2.99 elsewhere; Lifetime is a single payment of Rp499.000 or $29.99 and never expires.

How do I pay in Indonesia?

By Virtual Account, QRIS or card, in rupiah. Virtual Account and QRIS never charge you automatically: we remind you before a month ends and you pay the next one yourself. Outside Indonesia, you pay by card in US dollars.

Can I use more than one PC or phone?

Yes. Sign in on any PC or phone with the same account; a new device asks for a one-time code from your email, then a 6-digit PIN of its own. One PC can be paired with several phones, and you can see and remove every trusted device in Settings → Security.

Where can I get help or meet other pilots?

On the Rotate Discord: the link is in the header and the footer of this page, in the phone app under Community & help, and in the Bridge's Settings and Connection pages. Ask questions, share landings and hear about events first. For anything about your account or a payment, email us instead so it stays private.

Is Rotate real flight training?

No. Rotate is a game for simulator pilots. Scores, ranks, briefings and weather are not certified, must never be used for real-world flying, and do not count towards any pilot licence.

Something else? Ask on the Rotate Discord, or write to [email protected] and a person will answer.
