PlanToSim vs Virtual PAPI

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.

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)

Pilots love runways with visual descent guidance, such as PAPI or VASI, but unfortunately they don't exist everywhere. This app provides an adjustable visual descent guidance for every runway on the planet. The pilot can select an airport, a runway, adjust the desired descent angle and the aiming point, then Virtual PAPI will create a glide slope indicator style. The glide slope will provide accurate vertical guidance to the aiming point from any direction, 360 degrees, providing a valuable guidance for any type of approach, like base entries, short approaches, straight-ins, etc. The app comes with over 30 thousand runways in its offline database, and more will be added as they are discovered. The app works completely offline and never tries to use the internet. All it needs is access to your location. Virtual PAPI is and free and open source, with all the code available on GitHub.
