ChasePlane™ Cloud Backups & Community run on the //42 Cloud, but ChasePlane itself works with or without a subscription, you won’t lose functionality!
With Flow, we hosted settings on the Xbox Cloud, but it just wasn't reliable; too many users lost or reset data. Also, the amount of ChasePlane data generated with a typical MSFS install is massive in comparison to Flow settings.
So, we built our own system as an optional convenience. Now you can back up your settings, groups, and views for quick restores when switching PCs, plus browse and share custom views with the Community.
Cloud storage isn't free, but this isn't about forcing a subscription; it's about giving you options. We're covering the first year so everyone can experience the community features without strings attached. And when we say optional, we mean it.
By making these costs optional, we keep the core product price lower instead of inflating it to cover ever-growing infrastructure expenses.
COMMUNITY ACCESS OPTIONS
Your ChasePlane purchase includes a full year of Cloud Backup & Community access. After that, IT WILL AUTO EXPIRE and you have three options, including a one-time purchase for lifetime access.:
- $0 - Enjoy ChasePlane without the //42 Cloud.
- $5/year – Extend your access for another year.
- $20 one-time – Get lifetime access, no renewals needed.
Simple, flexible, and optional.
Your data is yours, always. We only back it up if you choose to enable it during onboarding. Your views and content stay local and are never automatically made public.
Additionally, we've built in powerful export/import features. This means you can export, send to a friend, share on a discord, upload to a site, and have them import your views at your convenience and outside our community ecosystem. So, If you want to share your views, it's entirely up to you; no subscription is needed.
