## What is FlightStreamX?

FlightStreamX wirelessly sends flight plans from your iPad's Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) to X-Plane on your desktop — instantly, over your local Wi-Fi network.

SIMPLE WORKFLOW
1. Create a flight plan in ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot on your iPad
2. Tap Share and select FlightStreamX
3. Your flight plan appears in X-Plane automatically

No cables. No USB drives. No manual file copying. Just share and fly.

HOW IT WORKS
FlightStreamX automatically discovers X-Plane running on your local network using the X-Plane beacon protocol. Once connected, it converts your EFB flight plan into X-Plane's native FMS 1100 format and transmits it directly — all in under a second.

### 1/5 — Does not connect to X Plane on iPad

*2026-06-27*

Works fine on iPhone however on iPad which is what I use the most it’s stuck in “searching for xplane”. It didn’t even ask for permission to find devices on local network which is probably the problem.
