Benefits of the Creators Program
Donation Pools
- Every month, Flightsim.to will allocate a certain amount of money into a fictitious Donation Pool. This pool will then be distributed among our most active and contributing creators each month. The amount set aside for this pool is determined by various factors including revenue from Premium Memberships, Store Purchases, total website traffic, and other operational expenses, as well as Flightsim.to's financial reserves. At the end of each month, the allocated funds are converted into Donation Points and added to each creator's balance. The monthly formula divides the total Donation Points in the pool by the total unique downloads from all participating mod creators. Users can also make contributions to this pool.
Free Premium Membership
- Creators Program Members with at least 100.000 Karma Points enjoy the benefits of Flightsim.to Premium for free, and for Creators Program Members with less than 100.000 Karma Points we offer a 50% discount on all Premium Membership plans.
Direct Creator Donations
- Users with Platform Credit can use their balance to donate to their favorite creators through the prominent Donation features available on their mod uploads. 100% of these donations go directly to the creators, with no fees or cuts taken by Flightsim.to.
Earnings from Downloads
- Creators earn Platform Credit for every 1,000 unique downloads of their mods.
Marketplace Services
- Creators can create Marketplace services to offer their skills and expertise to other users. Whether you specialize in designing custom liveries, developing detailed scenery, or crafting unique add-ons, the Marketplace allows you to showcase your talents and connect with other users.
Paid Requests
- Creators can accept paid requests on the Marketplace that are funded by Platform Credit. This system allows creators to be compensated for their work by fulfilling specific requests from users.
Creator Memberships
- Creators are able to set up individual Creator Memberships, similar to platforms like Patreon. This feature, coming soon to Flightsim.to, will allow creators to offer exclusive content, perks, and services to their dedicated supporters.
The Creators Program is still a Work in Progress, not all features outlined are yet available, and features are subject to change in the future.
