About

Share a flight plan from ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or FlyQ — and it lands in your simulator's GPS in seconds. PlanToSim sends your EFB flight plans straight to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 11 and 12, and the most popular add-on GPS navigators — complete with departures, arrivals, approaches, and airways. Plan on your iPad. Fly it on your PC. No file copying, no folder digging, no cables. WORKS WITH YOUR SIMULATOR • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 & 2024 — native .pln flight plans, delivered by the free PlanToSim MSFS Bridge • X-Plane 11 & 12 — native FMS flight plans, delivered by the free PlanToSim X-Plane plugin • TDS GTN Xi — native procedures (.gfp) • Reality-XP GTN 750/650 (.gfp) • Reality-XP GNS 530/430 (Garmin .fpl) • SimAVIO / FlyThisSim TouchTrainer (beta) — plans land in a GNS 530/430 flight-plan slot REAL PROCEDURES, INTACT • Full SID, STAR, and approach support — procedures arrive as procedures, not flattened waypoint strings • Waypoint-only files from ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot are matched against the navigation database to restore named procedures and airways (Rebuild Procedures — on by default, one toggle to turn off) • Runway-aware departure and arrival matching • Airway expansion (Victor, Jet, T- and Q-routes) • Cruise and per-fix altitudes carried through FRESH NAVIGATION DATA • Built-in database: 47,000+ airports, 72,000+ fixes, 1,800+ procedures • Updated every AIRAC cycle — refresh in the app with one tap FAST, PRIVATE, LOCAL • Your simulator PC appears in the app automatically — no IP addresses to find or type • Transfers over your own Wi-Fi — plans go from your iPad to your PC and nowhere else • No account, no subscription, no tracking, no data collection • Clear delivery confirmation for every transfer — and if your PC can't be reached, the app tells you within seconds and offers one-tap retry HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the free receiver on your flight-sim PC: the PlanToSim X-Plane plugin or the PlanToSim MSFS Bridge (both linked from the app's Settings). 2. Open PlanToSim — your PC appears automatically. Then share a flight plan from ForeFlight (.fpl), Garmin Pilot, or FlyQ to PlanToSim. 3. Pick your destinations once in Settings — every send converts and delivers automatically. SIMAVIO NOTE (beta) SimAVIO loads its flight-plan store when it starts. Send your plan first, then start SimAVIO (or close and reopen its panel) — your plan is waiting when you sit down. One $4.99 purchase covers every simulator and every format — no add-ons, no subscriptions, no unlocks. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone or iPad with iOS 17.6 or later • A Windows flight-sim PC on the same local network • One free PlanToSim receiver on that PC: the X-Plane plugin or the MSFS Bridge (free downloads, linked in Settings)

What's New in PlanToSim

1.4

July 27, 2026

PlanToSim 1.4 makes setup disappear — and brings full procedures to ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot files. • Zero-setup connection: your simulator PC now appears in the app automatically — no more typing IP addresses. Tap it once and you're connected. (Manual entry is still there if you want it.) • Rebuild Procedures: ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot files carry waypoints only — PlanToSim now matches them against its navigation database and restores your named SIDs, STARs, approaches, and airways for TDS GTN, X-Plane, and MSFS. Reality-XP and SimAVIO still receive your waypoints exactly as filed. • Garmin flight plan files: open .fpl and .gfp flight plans directly — from the Files app, email, or anywhere you keep them. • Resend Last Plan: one tap re-sends your most recent flight plan — after a settings change, a sim restart, or relaunching the app. • SimAVIO (beta): delivery confirmations now tell you whether to restart SimAVIO — or that your plan will load when it starts. • Clearer delivery feedback: if a send fails, the app now says exactly what went wrong for each destination — and when your PC is visible on the network, one tap sends to it. Requires the free PlanToSim receiver v1.1.0 (X-Plane plugin or MSFS Bridge) for automatic discovery — older receivers keep working with a manual IP address.
