RemoteFlight MAP HD is an ideal companion for long haul flights in Flight Simulator (MSFS, FSX/FS9/P3D or X-Plane), or a handy tool for simulator pilots flying VFR. Zoomable vector or photo map moves with the aircraft and key flight variables are displayed on side-panel. You can choose from different types of maps, aircraft icons and units of measurement. Now you can sit back and relax, or chat with a stewardess, while still fully aware of the situation in cockpit. Map and aircraft movements are now smooth and animated. Even aircraft strobe lights are flashing, all for your flight-simming pleasures. Please note, that this app is intended for Flight Simulator enthusiasts and cannot be used to track real flights.

Briefing Panel

Briefing Panel puts your SimBrief operational flight plan on a second screen. Enter your SimBrief username once and fetch the latest plan - fuel, weights, weather, route and map, laid out like an instrument, not a spreadsheet. FEATURES - Fuel and weights: the numbers you check before pushback. - Weather: METAR and TAF for departure, destination and alternates, straight from the plan. - Route map: your route and every fix on a map, with the live aircraft position. - Raw OFP: the full flight plan text when you need it. Pair your phone with your account using a 6-digit PIN from the website - no password typing needed. Briefing Panel is an independent project. It is not affiliated with Navigraph (SimBrief) or Microsoft. For flight simulation use only - not for real-world navigation.
