Avionics Buddy

About

Avionics Buddy connects to Microsoft Flight Simulator through a local Windows bridge and brings live aircraft telemetry, maps, gauges, airports, runways and approach helpers to your Apple devices — without leaving the simulator window on your PC. See your aircraft position on the map, follow altitude, heading, airspeed and vertical speed, browse airports, inspect runways and use visual approach helpers while you fly. Avionics Buddy is built for sim pilots who want to extend their Microsoft Flight Simulator setup beyond the main screen. Use it as a minimal, beautifully styled cockpit display on your desk, or as an extra avionics layer in a larger multi-screen simulator setup. Build your own creative flight deck using the Apple devices you already have around you. During long flights, keep your position, heading, altitude and flight status visible from your iPhone or iPad while you step away from your cockpit. During arrivals, use the native map, runway information and visual approach helpers to stay aware of runway alignment, descent behavior and landing flow. Between flights or during cruise, browse nearby airports and runway details without pausing or alt-tabbing out of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Stay connected to your flight, even when Microsoft Flight Simulator is running on another screen.
