X-Track is a companion app for X-Plane flight simulators that provides a real-time moving map. It displays your aircraft's live position, heading, altitude, and speed on Apple Maps, and allows you to overlay flight routes.
Does X-Track work offline?
X-Track requires X-Plane to be running on the same local network and needs network access to receive simulator telemetry and fetch weather data. Therefore, it does not support offline play.
What are the requirements to use X-Track?
You need X-Plane 11 or 12 running on the same local network, network access for telemetry, and optionally, file access to import KML routes. Weather information is provided by Apple Weather.
Can I import flight plans into X-Track?
Yes, X-Track allows you to import KML routes from popular flight planning tools like SimBrief and Navigraph. You can also manually enter waypoints to build your own routes.
