When the schedule
is not a generator.
The operations side of Eurostarling. StarlingPulse as the ACARS tracker, a full Operations Control Center, SimBrief-native dispatch with a real loadsheet, and full compatibility with MSFS, X-Plane, Prepar3D, VATSIM and IVAO. This is how the machine works.
From briefing to shutdown.
Four building blocks that together form a real line operation. Each one is built in-house — designed for sim pilots, not borrowed from them.
Scheduled operation, not a bid race
Summer and winter schedules with fixed slot windows. You pick your flight from the active plan — no race to grab the last good slots.
SimBrief-native dispatch
OFP generation straight from the Crew Center. Routing, fuel, weight & balance, performance — all based on the live schedule.
Disruptions & OCC
Weather changes, aircraft go U/S, slots shift. The OCC manages diversions and recovery — you get the current operational picture.
Per-flight performance review
Touchdown rate, on-time performance, block time, fuel burn. Every flight gets a factual debrief — career grows from logged block time, not promotion petitions.
More than just flying.
Your pilot life at Eurostarling: curated route series, group fly-ins, a loyalty program and real rank progression — all in the Crew Center, all optional.
Tours
Curated multi-leg route series — sequential or free. Fly them at your own pace and earn bonus miles plus a tour badge.
2 tours available
Fly-Ins
Scheduled group flights — sign up, fly the route with StarlingPulse in the event window, and get credited as an attendee automatically.
Starling Miles
A loyalty program for crew: miles for block time, missions, tours and events. Status tiers with multipliers — rolling over 12 months.
Ranks & progression
From First Officer upward — ranks grow with logged block time and progressively unlock the fleet (A319 → A320 family → A321 → A330 → A350).
StarlingPulse – ACARS für MSFS
StarlingPulse is our in-house ACARS and telemetry suite – the tracker for Eurostarling virtual airline. Streams hundreds of data points per flight in real time — from the exact touchdown rate via weight and balance to fuel burn. Live tracking on the flight monitor map, recovery logic on CTD, and web-cockpit instruments in the browser. Native MSFS 2024 support, tested with Fenix, FlyByWire and Inibuilds. SimBrief OFP integration built in.
Live position
Per-second telemetry on the flight map. Other pilots see you, you see them.
Touchdown rate
Vertical speed at touchdown, evaluated per landing. Counts toward your performance stats.
Recovery on CTD
Sim crash? StarlingPulse detects it and offers resume or abort. No lost flight.
Web cockpit
Live instruments (speed, altitude, V/S, heading, fuel) in the browser on a second screen.
The brain of the airline.
The OCC watches every flight in the network and responds to disruptions — automatically or via the ops team. Slot shifts, diversions, crew swaps, aircraft swaps, passenger rebooking. You do not fly alone, you fly inside a system.
- Dynamic slot & crew management
- Diversion suggestions on weather / tech
- Automated passenger rebooking flows
- Cascading delay tracking across the network
Every flight carries real load.
Behind every flight number sits a fully loaded aircraft — named passengers, their bags in the belly, freight alongside. None of it is a flat estimate: the operation counts passenger by passenger, bag by bag. The result is a loadsheet whose figures flow straight into your SimBrief OFP.
Named passengers
No anonymous "180 PAX". A real mix of adults, children and infants — each with a title, cabin class and frequent-flyer status. Plus special requests: special meals, wheelchair and PRM assistance, unaccompanied minors.
Physical baggage
Bags are dropped at the counter, tagged with an IATA licence plate, weighed and loaded into the hold. Through-checked on connections — one bag, one journey, one weight.
Belly cargo
Alongside the suitcases rides real air freight: consignments with an air waybill and a realistic commodity mix, from express parcels to perishables. It takes up space and weight in the belly just like the real world.
Loadsheet & weight balance
DOW → ZFW → TOW, checked against MZFW, MTOW and MLW. That exact zero-fuel weight goes into your SimBrief OFP — your Fenix or FlyByWire loads the same number into the FMS.
Pick your sim and network.
StarlingPulse runs on the three major simulators. ACARS feeds all data regardless of platform. Online networks are optional — offline flights count the same toward your career.

Three steps to the cockpit.
Application → setup → first flight. No wait lists, no interviews, no hidden requirements. You should want to fly.
Apply in the Crew Center
Create account, indicate sim experience, pick your favorite Airbus. We usually approve within a few hours.
Install StarlingPulse
Download the tracker, link it once to your account. Runs headless in the background, no cockpit overlay.
First line flight
In Dispatch, pick a free flight from the active plan, generate the OFP, start engines. Block time counts from off-block.
Career grows
With block time you progress through the type-rating ladder: A319 → A320 family → A321 family → A330 → A350.
