What Is Delta ACARS?
Meet Delta Virtual's own flight-tracking application and its beta status.
Delta ACARS at a glance
Delta ACARS is flight-tracking software being developed for Delta Virtual. It connects to your flight simulator, captures flight information, and supports submitting flights to the virtual airline.
Delta ACARS is currently classified as an early-beta client. Features and availability may change between builds, and technical problems are possible while testing continues.
Supported environment
The current Delta ACARS project is a Windows application developed for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane. Compatibility depends on the specific simulator version, aircraft, and beta build.
Other approved options
Delta Virtual also approves smartCARS, vmsACARS, and Stratos (early beta). You are not required to use Delta ACARS in order to participate in Delta Virtual.
How do I get access?
Follow the current release instructions from Delta Virtual staff or the official Crew Center Downloads area. Do not install an unverified copy or assume an old installer is the latest supported version.
Found a problem?
Capture what happened, your simulator and aircraft, the app version, and any logs. Then send a report through the Delta Virtual Discord or another official support channel.
Policy reference: Delta Virtual SOP v4.0, sections 7.1-7.2 and 9.
