Pilot Profile – Patreon

Similar to donations, becoming a Patreon is not mandatory nor expected for Walker pilots. However, it’s an option for one to make a recurring financial contribution to support Airline operations (servers and service providers), enhancements and improvements (modules, functionality, liveries, etc.) – or in any other way the Business Office determines is appropriate and necessary for support of the airline and its pilots.

The Walker Patreon program is another way for pilots to financially support the company. There are 2 tiers of support that you may choose from.

If you wish to support the company but do not want a recurring charge, you may do so with a donation.

Tiers
Tier Cost (excl. VAT) Benefits
Supporter $3.00
  • Access to Patreon-only Discord channel
  • Learn about new and upcoming services before other pilots, as well as access to services under testing prior to release  
  • Take part in conversations about future services
  • 10% off the Walker Store
Freedom of Livery $5.00
  • All the Supporter-tier benefits, plus
  • Freedom to fly any aircraft livery (excluding Walker Events)
  • Freedom to fly as any callsign when flying online (excluding Walker Events)
  • Freedom to fly as any other real-world airline (excluding Walker Events)
  • Freedom to fly an aircraft before the livery is released on the platform (excluding Walker Events)
Freedom of Livery - Walker Events

Failure to follow below will result in PIREP rejection and forfeiture of all hours and points earned, not just the double multiplier from the event.

As noted above, Freedom of Livery benefits (use of any livery/callsign) does not apply when flying Walker Events. This is to continue to represent the company in these events, particularly during large scale ones such as Cross the Pond.
