Now with VATSIM live traffic — overlay 1,300+ online pilots on the Pilot Map and Radar. Plus live MSFS cockpit panels for A320, 737, 747 and 787. FSXFollow is the live moving-map and instrument companion for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 11/12 and Prepar3D. Watch your flight unfold on iPhone, iPad or Mac as it happens — with the simulator running in another room or another house. Real-time UDP telemetry at 10 Hz. Live MSFS cockpit panels rendered in-app. METAR and TAF with on-device hazard scanning. AI-narrated cruise mode on iOS 26. A 79,000-airport offline database with 3D satellite runway previews. Full two-way control of the simulator. WHAT'S INSIDE Gauges: real MSFS instrument panels running live in the app — PFD, ND/MFD, EICAS, MCDU, FCU, SAI and more for the A320 Neo, 737 MAX, 747-8 and 787-10. SimConnect variables stream over UDP into the DOM. MFD/ND panels use Apple Maps for terrain context. A320 MCDU: six authentic Airbus FMS pages — INIT, F-PLN, PROG, PERF, RAD NAV, FUEL PRED — with live position, waypoint distance, ETE, course-to-steer and radio frequencies. Radar: phosphor-green CRT traffic scope, track-up, with concentric range rings and a sweep. AI aircraft show as triangles oriented by heading with a relative-altitude callout. Runways drawn for every airport in range. VATSIM: opt-in overlay of live VATSIM traffic on the Pilot Map and Radar. Polled every 15 seconds from the VATSIM v3 feed — 1,300+ pilots online at peak. Orange aircraft icons + callsigns distinct from simulator AI. Planner: build a route by searching 11,000 navaids and 79,000 airports. One tap auto-fills VOR/NDB waypoints between departure and arrival along the great-circle path. Stream: 1 Hz live screenshot feed from your simulator's camera, fullscreen. Pilot Map: live position, AI + VATSIM traffic, facilities (airports, NDBs, VORs), flight-plan polyline. Flight Plan: every waypoint of your loaded route with the upcoming one highlighted. From/To populated from the ground environment and FMS even before a static plan loads. Ground: jetway status, parking spot, COM 1, assigned runway, doors, and services (catering, fuel, stairs, pushback, marshaller). Weather: nearest METAR and TAF — wind, visibility, ceiling, flight category, decoded cloud layers. On-device ML scans the raw METAR for hazards (thunderstorms, freezing precipitation, wind shear, gust factor). Approach: real-time runway picker scored on headwind, crosswind, length, and gust factor. "I want to land here" expands a glideslope advisory with distance, ETA, TOD, descent rate, target Vref, and on/high/low profile status. 3D satellite preview of short final tilted along the approach axis. Takeoff: optimal departure runway plus expected ground roll, 50 ft distance, density altitude, climb gradient, and runway margin. Cruise: live narration of the area below your aircraft using on-device reverse geocoding and Apple's Foundation Models on iOS 26+. Airports: search 79,000 worldwide airports by ICAO, IATA, or name. Each detail page shows runways, frequencies, a labeled hybrid map with white runway polylines, the current METAR, and a per-runway 3D satellite preview. Six-Pack Instruments: airspeed, attitude, altimeter, heading, turn coordinator, vertical speed — dark cockpit theme. IFE: cabin-style flight display with a cloud-dodger mini-game (Game Center leaderboards). Control: send sim commands — gear, flaps, autopilot, lights, brakes, thrust + / − — over UDP. Siri: ask "altitude in FSXFollow", "land here", or "open [mode]" — no setup. Camera: switch the simulator's view (cockpit/external/drone) and instrument-panel presets. Multi-platform: a single SwiftUI app on iPhone, iPad and Mac. EASY SETUP 1. Install the free Windows client from positiongames.com (required for MSFS, FSX, FS2004 and Prepar3D — X-Plane works natively). 2. Start a flight in your sim. 3. Open FSXFollow on any Apple device and pick your session. No IP addresses, no LAN gymnastics. Track your flight from anywhere with internet. Have a great flight!

Great app with great potential...

I've been looking for ages for a moving map on the ipad and iphone for use with fsx and this is just that with added benefit of being able to view my cockpit from downstairs watching tv when doing a long haul flight.I do hope this app has further development as i would like to see the following:-1. Map - I would like the ability to zoom in and out using pinch etc without it refocusing on a standard zoom. This way I can see exactly where in the world I am at present rather than just over a city...2. Map - I like how it tracks your path, however instead of using lots of pins can you just draw a line like plane finder app does?3. Screen shots - I like this feature but the updating of each screen shot is not smooth at all, it flashes and reloads every x seconds and doesn't give you can chance to view before it's reloading. The reloads causes the screen to lose it's image for a second.. Maybe allow screen updates every xx seconds customisable by the user.. Also please get the refresh smooth if possible. It would be nice to see video updates but can understand this may be difficult..4. Privacy - can you develop the app so it's only available to the person doing the flight as not everyone will want their screen shots showing to the Internet. Allow a local wifi connection instead of going over the internet 5. Maps - can you allow satellite and hybrid views and maybe even terrain?6. Can you show airspeed and alt on the map?One other review stated that it just didn't work, however mine works fine so please don't assume this is the case. I look forward to future developments with this app as it's great...

I purchased a few years back Fsx follow in the App Store iOS and Microsoft store. The program was very easy to set up and use. Suddenly it stopped working! Finally I noticed it was back, however I use FSX boxed. The app only worked with steam. I contacted support and Jaroen sent me a response within 24 hours that he would work on a fix. A few days later, I was contacted by Jeroen. They sent me a link for fsx boxed.It worked immediately. So many new features! radar, 3d and 2 d map tracker, cockpit views, airports etc. love the app. I even sent in a small donation for his efforts.I would recommend to anyone who wants a fun app that works great with fsx! Other formats are available. Thank you ver6 much Jeroen!Follow up. I converted to Prepar3d v4.5 and the program and app work flawlessly! I use it every day! Worth every penny and much more!Jargon, thanks again for making a great product!

Disappointed

It simply doesn't work. Downloaded and followed the directions, downloaded the software to my PC, no nothing. Won't connect, wont allow me to create a password, no drop down menu, none of the things the help menu tells me to do are there. Could be its not compatible with Windows 10 but if that's the case , they should have said so. Glad it was not three dollars, at least I didn't lose much, but it was a loss of three dollars. It just doesn't work AT ALL. Not even a little bit.

Having this app with FSX is great. The maps allow you to flight between places without instruments. And the support is excellent. Well worth it.

Having this app with FSX is great. The maps allow you to flight between places without instruments. And the support is excellent. Well worth it.

Siri commands + teleport-to-final + bigger Control panel: - Siri / Voice Intents: ask Siri "altitude in FSXFollow", "airspeed", "heading", "vertical speed", "nearest airport", "land here", "position for takeoff", or "open [mode]" — no setup, phrases work out of the box. - "I want to land here" now actually moves the plane: tap a runway in Approach and your aircraft is teleported to 5 NM short final at 1,500 ft AGL, 140 kt, pointed at the runway. Disable autopilot first. - Thrust + and Thrust − buttons added to Control. - Runway previews now open a 3D satellite map tilted down the approach (replaces Look Around, which was missing for many remote fields). - Splash icon resized smaller so it doesn't dominate the screen.
