# What is this TFDi Design Login about?

The very first screen that you see upon launching smartCARS 3 is a login screen for a TFDi Design account.

<p class="callout success">**This is entirely optional and not required for your Canada Air Virtual flights!**</p>

Here are some potential benefits to creating a TFDi Design account:

- It's the only way to not be asked to log into a TFDi Design account on each launch of smartCARS 3
- Your flight will appear on the integrated map
- You then have the option to upgrade to a smartCARS 3 Pro account. More details at [https://tfdidesign.com/smartCARS3.php](https://tfdidesign.com/smartCARS3.php)

If you don't have a TFDi Design account, click **Skip TFDi Design Login**.
