Important notice: Don't install the app on your mobile device. Download and run it on your PC. This creates a local web server to which you connect via an IP address.

Changelog:

  • FLC autopilot implemented.
  • Added GPS track line for the VFR map.
  • Added light controls.
  • Added pitot heat and deicing controls (deicing controls may be limited depending on the plane, windshield deicing is not yet supported by SimConnect).

Features:

  • Moving Map (Open Street Maps).
  • NAV 1/2 frequency and OBS 1/2 selection.
  • ADF frequency and ADF card selection.
  • COM 1/2 and transponder selection.
  • Autopilot with altitude, vertical speed, and airspeed settings.
  • Gyro drift and altimeter pressure settings.
  • Light controls.
  • Pitot heat and deicing controls.
  • Landing ratings (vertical speed at touchdown).
  • Simulation rate controls.

Known issues:

  • NAV frequencies can get out of sync, especially when rapidly pressing frequency adjustment buttons. Use the "Force Sync Frequencies" button to synchronize frequencies with the sim.
  • NAV frequencies are not automatically synchronized when starting a second flight. Use the "Force Sync Frequencies" button to synchronize frequencies with the sim.
  • You may see landings with a vertical speed between 0 and 5 fpm in the app. This is caused by the sim recording the plane loading on ground at the start of a flight as a landing.
  • Not all deicing and light controls will work with every aircraft. Windshield deicing is currently not supported. This is caused by the current limitations of SimConnect.
  • The app may not work on a fresh Windows 10 installation. You may see a "Could not find MSFS running. Please launch MSFS first and then restart the MSFS 2020 Mobile Companion App." message even if MSFS is running. To fix this, please download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable.
