Ok..
If i listened correctly, at 3,49 minutes he said he would expect to gain 1pax/usd per each minute? Wow, don’t know where he got that though or info, but if that would be true, that would be an average regular job payment, even with a timer limit, it would be a good incentive to lots of people without a job.. apart from that, his video made me thought about a lot regarding this “crypto use” by just installing a client. I mean, now it gives me a hint to investigate about all of the clients I used, or use by other add ons. In fact is there a reason why I shouldn’t doubt about, who knows, Onair, Fseconomy, Fshub, simbrief, IVAO, vatsim, etc. Or maybe also the flight simulator itself. Are we sure all these companies are not using my hardware to do some mining? To summarize my opinion on simfly, I can just say this, before simfly, to make an example, but is very close to reality, I used to fly with a simulator an average of 8 hours per week, and earned “0” of whatever credits. Just “sacrificing” my time for simple passion. Now with simfly installed, I fly the same 8 hours a week. The difference, is that now I earn “X” credit per each time I spend. More than this I can add that,I usually buy games, more than one, paying much more than 79usd (example of license cost) , and I pay these money without expecting nothing back than simple entertainment. I spend money for peripherals, computer hardware , and still without expecting nothing back. The point is, I think, what do you expect from simfly? A job, a second earnings money to pay you a dinner, a bike, a weekend off, etc.. also be aware that a lot of user buy assets at discount prices, 50% off and than could sell the same assets, why not just at the same market price and just gain those 50%.. the main fear what would be? Simfly makes you buy something in money that you won’t get back the same value? That always happens to me when I buy something for playing.

He accuses us to hid mining software in the client, which is a crime, defamatory. Too bad, as it started nicely, and ends up defaming us 
Greetings, friends. Honestly, I can’t understand how someone can publish whatever they believe without properly researching and first ensuring that what they intend to publish is reliable or verifiable information. Any follower of that channel who takes the time to investigate will quickly realize the YouTuber’s serious errors, and that undermines their credibility. It’s simply ridiculous.

Everybody is allowed to have an opinion.
- its internet everything there needs to be taken with a grain (or big rock) of salt
(Not to mention that if as I always kept repeating as long as I cared in the past - transparency and clarity in formulas behind earnings remove doubts… if one is willing to share those).
Hi shill,
As mentioned in this topic and in other earlier communications on Discord, the reason we have not yet published these formulas is very simple: to avoid releasing incomplete information, we were planning to publish them together with a proper calculator that clearly shows how PAX Tokens are allocated for each activity and for each asset type (pilot license, aircraft, airport). However, creating a well-built dynamic calculator — especially considering all the variables involved — requires time and would have slowed down other features that are already in advanced stages of development.
That said, due to the urgency expressed by some users, we will publish a static table on the Wiki in the coming days. This table will list all the percentages used in the gamification system to generate PAX Tokens for each asset type.
In the future, once the new scheduled features are completed, we will also add the dynamic calculator to make everything even clearer and easier to understand for all users.
Here is the link to the ongoing discussion:
https://forum.simfly.io/t/investigation-in-progress-on-pax-earnings-after-latest-deploy/12313/3
It could be useful for those who misinterpret the system and try to guess. I think most of those who have decent amount of hours here know quite well what to expect and do understand consequences (especially landing score has huge impact on potential pax gain).
But new users do not know - hence they are coming to own conclusions based on rather vague analysis of 2 or 3 flights.
Its not about time/distance that much - devil is in the details and landing score is major focal point that many users do not understand especially new ones.
Still this video is simply speaking consequence of lack of knowledge and jumping to assumptions prematurely. Still should we blame that person - I don’t think so - if you can not find details (and don’t have time to do 1000 hours flying to learn them yourself) - you will judge what you can see.
Only crypto mining was a bit thin foil hat conspiracy theory - mining crypto using GPU + flight simulator would not only put PC but maybe entire flat on fire. Certainly CTD and shut down of PC. You need GPU power for crypto mining = its not the case IMO.

Absolutely, and thank you for the advice. I agree with you, and we will work to make this public as soon as possible; your reasoning is spot-on, as we’ve already discussed in other topics, and it’s already planned. As for the crypto mining point: I believe, and I’d add, that some users were referring specifically to that in this topic and in the video in question, rather than to the lack of information or formulas on the Wiki, considering we have already addressed those points on several occasions.
Hi everyone,
We wanted to thank the community for the support and the constructive discussions over the past few days. We would like to inform you that the reported video has been removed from YouTube.
We reaffirm this with full transparency: we are always open to constructive criticism, as it helps us improve SimFly every day — and if SimFly is what it is today, it is thanks to all of you.
At the same time, we cannot accept serious accusations or claims made without any evidence, especially when they concern practices that do not belong to our ethics or our software.
SimFly is a platform that everyone is free to use or not, and we fully respect every opinion. Honest, fact-based feedback is always welcome; spreading unfounded assumptions, however, does not benefit anyone.
Thank you again to the entire community for the maturity shown throughout this situation,
and thank you to Kyndra for the prompt report.
Since the video has been removed, we will proceed to close this topic. We are leaving it visible for transparency.
