At Infinite Flight, we believe that community engagement is key to creating an enjoyable and immersive flight simulation experience for all users. We value the input and feedback of our users, and we believe that getting involved with the Infinite Flight community can significantly enhance your overall experience.
By participating in the community, you can connect with other Infinite Flight users, share your experiences and knowledge, and learn from others. You can join discussions on our forum, follow us on social media, attend our events, and join a virtual airline or organization. There are so many ways to get involved, and we encourage all users to take advantage of these opportunities!
Infinite Flight Community Forum
The Infinite Flight Community Forum is a free online platform where Infinite Flight users can connect, learn, and engage with each other. The forum serves as a central hub where users can discuss a wide range of topics related to the app, share their experiences, and get help from fellow users. Not only can you get help with your flights and share your screenshots, but you can also create events, request new features, and participate in discussions on everything from aircraft to ATC operations. With thousands of active users from around the world, the forum is a vibrant and welcoming community that is open to all Infinite Flight users. Allow us to briefly touch on some areas of the IFC…
Screenshots and Videos
Sharing your screenshots and videos is a great way to showcase your skills and creativity as an Infinite Flight user. Whether you've captured a stunning moon shot or created a cinematic or timelapse video, sharing your content with the community is easy and fun. To share your screenshots or videos, simply take a screenshot or record your video within the app and save it to your device. Then, you can upload your content to the Infinite Flight Community Forum.
Create your own events
Creating your own events on the Infinite Flight servers is a great way to bring the community together and enjoy some fun and challenging flights. Whether you want to organize a group flight, airshow, or a fly-in event, the process is simple and straightforward. To find out more, the #live:events category is the place to go!
In addition to creating your very own events, each month we hand-select some of our favorites to feature on our social media channels and on the in-app home screen. Now that would be something to brag about…
Feature requests
If you have an idea for a new feature or improvement in Infinite Flight, you can create a feature request on the Infinite Flight Community Forum. Simply navigate to the #Features category and click on the "Create New Topic" button. When making a feature request, ensure that you include a clear and detailed description of your idea, as well as any supporting images or videos. It’s also important to double-check if anybody else has already created a request for the feature you want to see before creating your own topic.
Once you've created your feature request, other users can vote for it if they like the idea. The more votes a feature request receives, the higher the chances of it being implemented in the simulator. So, if you have an idea that you think would make Infinite Flight even better, don't hesitate to create a feature request and share it with the community!
Note: only TL2 members and above can create a feature request. Anyone can vote.If you’d like to find out more about forum trust levels, click here.
Official Events
We love hosting weekly official events for our community, including flash flights, group flights, fly-ins/outs, world tours, and racing events which we like to call “whacky racing”. These events are listed on the Infinite Flight Community Forum and shared in advance on our social media platforms. There’s never a quiet week at Infinite Flight! These events are a fantastic way to get involved and enjoy our multiplayer experience across all three servers.
Here are a few examples of official events:
Community Meetups
We also love to connect with our community in person by hosting meetups around the world. In the past, we've organized successful meetups in different locations, bringing together pilots and aviation enthusiasts to share their passion for aviation. These meetups are commonly held at an airport so that we can plane spot and share our passion for aviation as a group. Stay tuned for announcements across our social media about future meetups, and don't miss the chance to meet other Infinite Flight users and the team behind the simulator!
Infinite Flight ATC (IFATC)
Yes… We’re a flight simulator. However, what many people don't realize is that we also offer an exciting Air Traffic Control feature. In fact, players have the ability to take on the role of an air traffic controller and work their way up to become an expert server controller. Our expert server features realistic air traffic control, strict rules and regulations, and live weather conditions, providing a challenging and immersive aviation experience, making it one of our most popular servers amongst some of the best Infinite Flight pilots and controllers!
If you’d like to take your ATC skills to the next level, you can apply to become an IFATC member today! After a successful onboarding process, you’ll gain access to the Expert Server and an exclusive Discord community with over 500 controllers!
If becoming an expert controller doesn't appeal to you, that's absolutely fine! We also allow our users to control the virtual skies on our training server, which is a server with fewer rules enforced so that pilots and ATC can practice their skills at ease before transitioning to the expert server. Are you ready to hop into the tower?
Virtual Airlines & Organizations
Another brilliant way to get involved with the community is by joining a VA or VO. Virtual Airlines and Organizations are groups within the community who come together to simulate real-world operations and activities. These organizations offer a more immersive experience than just flying solo, as members can participate in group flights, share resources and knowledge, and build a community of like-minded individuals.
Virtual Airlines often have specific routes and aircraft types that mimic those of real-world airlines, while Virtual Organizations can offer a range of activities including air shows, competitions, and special events. Overall, these Virtual Airlines and Organizations offer a fun and social way for you to expand your Infinite Flight experience and engage with other players from around the world!
In addition to joining a VA or VO, you can also take it one step further by creating your own! If you would like to find out more information about joining these organizations, click here!
Third-Party Applications
Infinite Flight provides a range of APIs for developers to control and access data related to the simulator. The Connect API allows for local control of all aspects of the simulator, while the Live API provides real-time flight data for players on multiplayer servers. These APIs have been used to develop a variety of add-ons such as flight trackers, voice announcements, and remote controls. However, there are many other potential uses for the APIs that have yet to be explored.

Additionally, the Third Party forum category is a great resource for finding add-ons and connecting with the third-party developer community. We look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Airport Editing
We've built an in-app Scenery Editor that allows users to bring airports to life by transforming 2D airport layouts into fully-realized 3D environments for everyone to enjoy. With this powerful tool, users can voluntarily customize and design any airport around the world, adding a level of realism and detail that is unmatched in the mobile flight simulator industry. The scenery editor is a great way to take your Infinite Flight experience to the next level, especially if you have a creative mindset.
Airport editing is a time-consuming process that requires a lot of focus to ensure that the airports being developed reach the requirements to be shipped in a future update. For this reason, we have an application process that every editor must go through before being granted access to the editor. Not only is creating airports a time-consuming process, the onboarding process can also be quite lengthy due to the high volume of applications and the complexity of the editor. We onboard editors in groups to ensure that their first time as an editor is a streamlined process with all the help they need, whenever they may need it. Once we’re happy with the outcome of the latest group, we begin the onboarding process for the next group of editors. So with that in mind, if you’ve applied to be an editor and haven't heard back yet, it’s a part of the process and nothing to be worried about.
If editing airports is something that appeals to you, you can apply to become a scenery editor today!

At Infinite Flight, we know how important it is to stay connected with our community, and that's why we maintain an active presence on a variety of social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok!
