# Why didn’t I receive XP points for my flight?

There are several reasons why you may not have received XP for your flight.

XP is only awarded when flying in **Career Mode** using the MetaFlight Flight Tracker. If you flew in **Free Mode**, no XP is granted.

XP is also not awarded for flights performed with a **virtual airline** (such as AFR Virtuel) in Career Mode, as this is currently a temporary integration.

XP rewards linked to virtual airlines will be available once the **Airline Manager** module is fully developed in MetaFlight.
