Simulator session
Confirms the simulator is running and exposes the current state.
Compatibility, stated precisely
Know what the station can control before the session starts.
FlightSim Control identifies the active simulator and aircraft, then makes the controls available for that exact setup. A green connection light never unlocks unsupported actions.
Check your simulator setupThe local control path
Three checks between the instructor and the aircraft.
Commands remain on the computer running the simulator. Cloud services are not in the live control loop.
Local connection
Translates a reviewed instructor action into a supported command.
Aircraft capability
Unlocks only the controls available for the loaded aircraft.
FLIGHTSIM CONTROL LOCAL SIMULATOR CONNECTED
Capability-aware by design
The interface changes with the connected setup.
The station identifies the active simulator and loaded aircraft, then exposes only the controls available through that exact path. Aircraft-specific failures remain separate from generic simulator commands.
- Simulator connection reported independently
- Loaded-aircraft capability evaluated locally
- Stock piston, turboprop, and transport-jet coverage
- Unavailable actions remain visibly inhibited
Release scope
Simulator support, without vague claims.
Available controls are listed for each simulator. Products that are not yet included are shown separately.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Windows · SimConnectIncludes live telemetry, pause and resume, flight-path freeze and release, UTC and rate controls, repositioning, navigation data, flight profiles, and engine-failure commands. Aircraft-specific functions appear only when the loaded aircraft supports them.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Windows · SimConnectIncludes live telemetry, pause and resume, flight-path freeze and release, UTC and rate controls, repositioning, navigation data, and flight profiles. Fuel, payload, and failure controls appear only when FlightSim Control can verify the loaded aircraft's command and readback path.
X-Plane 11
Windows + Apple Silicon macOS · Local pluginIncludes live telemetry, pause and resume, flight-path freeze and release, UTC and rate controls, repositioning, fuel and payload loading, automatic reconnect, and aircraft-specific failures with activation and recovery confirmation.
X-Plane 12
Windows + Apple Silicon macOS · Local pluginIncludes live telemetry, pause and resume, flight-path freeze and release, UTC and rate controls, repositioning, fuel and payload loading, automatic reconnect, and aircraft-specific failures with activation and recovery confirmation. Current stock-aircraft coverage includes piston and turboprop types.
Prepar3D v6
Windows · Prepar3D SimConnectIncludes live telemetry, pause and resume, flight-path freeze and release, UTC and rate controls, repositioning, fuel and payload loading, flight profiles, simulator reset, and automatic reconnect. Engine-failure controls appear for engines whose state can be confirmed in the loaded aircraft.
Extend the station without making it dependent on third parties.
Aircraft
Generic simulator commands use the core connection. Provider-specific systems appear when the loaded aircraft supports them.
Cockpit hardware
Detected hardware can appear in the station when its driver exposes a supported control path.
Navigation data
Installed simulator data provides the baseline. Navigraph remains an optional, separately licensed source.
Weather engines
Weather control follows the active simulator interface. Active Sky remains an optional integration.
Independent macOS station: macOS 13 or later on Apple Silicon runs the complete application and local X-Plane plugin on the same Mac. It does not connect to or control a Windows station.
Availability rule: only the simulator and control combinations listed as available are included.
