Crew Centre

Using our Crew Centre

Rex Virtual uses ATLAS as our Crew Centre.

Visit the invite link you received in your Welcome Email to set up your Rex Virtual Crew Centre account.

Afterwards, you can log in to the Crew Centre by visiting the following link: crewcenter-rexvirtual.com

The Crew Centre is where you can search for Route, view your Rank and total Flight Hours and file PIREPs. The Pilot Handbook will focus on the steps you should take to file a PIREP to ensure it will be accepted by our staff.

There are also more features within the Crew Centre, which you can find out about in our Crew Centre guide, available to download from our website.

Filing a PIREP

You can file a PIREP in the ATLAS Crew Centre in two ways. You can manually enter a PIREP by going to New PIREP in the Navigation side panel and entering your flight details.

Alternatively, you can file a PIREP directly from the Routes dashboard. This method will automatically fill in details such as Flight Number, Departure and Arrival. However, you will still be required to fill out some details.

Rex Virtual Pilot Handbook

Below is a guide of the essential details you will need to file a successful PIREP highlighted in orange:

- When filing a PIREP, ensure you use the flight number from our route database, not your in-game callsign** or flight number.

- Flights must be filed within 24 hours of being flown to be a successful PIREP.

* Multiplier Code is only used when filing a PIREP for a Rex Virtual event flight or Challenge/Route of the Week.

** In-game callsign should be Rex XXXVA, where XXX is your Rex Virtual assigned number.
