Air Hauler 2 (MSFS)

Air Hauler 2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator puts you in complete control of your own freight and passenger company!

Air Hauler 2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator expands on the immersive and addictive Air Hauler by putting you in complete control of your own freight and passenger company—take command of operations both in the boardroom and in the cockpit. You can also 'go global' by launching your own Virtual Airline and recruiting other AH2 pilots to fly for you with attractive pay, or you can join another pilot's thriving airline and fly for it alongside your own.

Air Hauler 2's limitless possibilities and flexibility will allow you to immerse yourself completely in every operational detail of your company; each critical flight will have an impact on the reputation and reach of your expanding empire.

The level of complexity is entirely up to you: you can fly jobs between bases and buy or lease aircraft, or carve out a career in the air freight or airline industries by hiring AI pilots and risking everything on loans to fill up your dream hangar.

Air Hauler 2 keeps track of all your financial transactions, whether you are purchasing aircraft or air bases, purchasing fuel or repairs, paying for landing fees, or even taking out loans and leases. Take out insurance if you believe your part-time pilots will let you down when you can least afford it.

As the pilot in charge of delivering goods or passengers on time, you have the option of flying a job in multiple legs or stopping anywhere along the way for refueling or maintenance. Make regular passenger routes and keep an eye out for special humanitarian missions.

Build your reputation with clients you meet as you travel between airports with your crews and fleet, take on increasingly lucrative missions, and pick up cargo jobs from local bulletin boards or the global online job board system to build your empire.

Trade commodities for delivery on your cargo routes, and set up manufacturing plants and factories at your bases to produce parts for the production of more valuable commodities. Travel the world meeting new people and flying missions for them individually to help your company's reputation and income!

If your management skills are required in the boardroom, hire other pilots to fly jobs for you and use the AI pilot system to keep track of them all. Detailed map views of all airports in Flight Simulator will help you keep track of available jobs, bases, and fleet locations, and you can also view the live locations of other online Air Hauler 2 pilots.

Expand your business into an online Virtual Airline where other pilots can fly passenger routes and cargo jobs for your new venture—choose jobs from a global shared job board and allow users to assist you in managing your virtual airline, flying, expanding, and maintaining your fleet!

Air Hauler 2 puts you in charge of everything, from landings to leases, flight plans to finances, repairs to recruitment!

FEATURES
 
Cargo jobs – more variety, better paid jobs, and much, much faster generation than in Air Hauler, including access to an online global shared job board.
 
Passenger operations – fly single passenger jobs between any airport you choose, or set up a schedule and routes for your airline to fly. You can let your AI pilots fly these routes or you can fly any of them at any time.

Missions - take missions from new contacts you meet as you travel to new airports and destinations.

Virtual Airlines – create your own Virtual Airline and recruit other AH2 pilots from around the world to fly passenger and cargo jobs!  Advertise your airline on the Air Hauler 2 Hiring Bulletin Board. Accept and fly jobs from the Global Job Board and compete with other airlines for the best hauls.

Humanitarian missions - respond to real-world disasters by manufacturing and delivering relief supplies to local airports.
 
New AI pilot skills tree system – AI pilots can now be ‘trained’ in over 18 different skills which bring benefits to your company. As the AI pilots improve, they ‘level up’ in rank which gives them more skill points to spend. There is a skill tree which has five different tracks with individual skills in each and these can be unlocked by spending points. So, for example, an AI pilot who has five points in ‘Bungee Warrior’ will be subject to less in-flight cargo damage as a result of rough handling than one who has less (or no) points in that skill. Other examples are ‘Rocketman’, which provides a more efficient cruise (lower fuel costs), and ‘Short Stripper’ which lowers the runway landing requirements for AI pilots.
 
Take missions from clients at airports – supply them with rare commodities or perform photo recon flights or private charter flights.
 
Commodity trading – buy and sell commodities rather than just move them for clients. Make your own fortune trading between airports!
 
Upgrade your bases – upgrade them with fuel depots and commodity storage facilities, allowing you to hedge fuel prices and store commodities long term.
 
Factories and production – build factories at your bases and use them to produce desirable commodities which can’t be bought on the open market.
 
Find aircraft parts from vendors – find these at larger airports and use them to repair your fleet or build new aircraft yourself rather than buying them!
 
New type rating system – get qualified on aircraft before you or your AI pilots can fly them.
 
Buy and fly aircraft in your personal fleet – you can also transfer money from your company into your own personal account.
 
Buy new aircraft direct from the manufacturer, or buy second hand – have the aircraft shipped to you or go and collect them yourself and fly them home.
 
All-new Map views with great circle routes – several map tile choices are available.
 
Create ‘custom airports’ – create custom landing locations in scenic hotspots, or for new airports which haven’t been added to MFS yet.
 
Included database of common aircraft – designed to populate the stats while importing – no more searching for fuel burn figures!
