FSXPilot for PC (free shareware version available,visit www.fsxpilot.com) must be installed on your flightsim computer.
Observe aircraft parameters and the exact position of your aircraft on a versatile GoogleMap while running Microsoft Flight Simulator X, FSX Steam or Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D.
We have now Version 1.4 (description see end of page).
New in V 1.3:
- New option (default: off) to simulate the GPS location of your aircraft on your phone / tablet. You can then use Google Maps, Google Earth or your favorite android aviation app (moving map, flight track recorders, flight chart app ) as if you were sitting in a real plane. Caveats see below. Tested in android 5.1.1 only.
- Locked target is displayed in parameters with distance (nm) and ETE / ETA
- 'follow plane' now allows for free map zoom operations in map mode
Previous versions:
Plan your local or intercontinental flights 'on the fly' by simply tapping on your phone or tablet screen. This app will send the latitude and longitude of your waypoints directly to FSXPilot server which will precisely turn your aircraft into the new headings. During your flight, observe basic flight parameters and send commands for changing indicated airspeed, taxi speeds, flight level (altitude), aircraft heading or target selection from thousands of FSXPilot's (PC) AIRAC targets. Initiate automated takeoffs and ILS landings from your phone. Holdings, GPS auto landings and touch and go procedures can be performed on almost any airfield worldwide.
Zoom down to runway level and create taxiplans by simply fingertapping on the taxiways you want to use. Your plane will follow the taxi directions immediately and even stop at your last taxi waypoint (usually at gate or at a runway holding point). Best precision with P3D
Stop engine, restart engine and initiate a pushback via your phone / tablet.
Switch to helicopter mode on PC and enjoy controlling the heli via your phone. Navigate. Hover or land at a certain position.
Experimental 'phone yoke' so that you can fly by just banking and tilting your phone and operate flaps, gear and wheelbrakes - live.
App will automatically pause (enable this under 'Options') FSX or P3D on an incoming phonecall.

Mocking (spoofing) the GPS of your phone sometimes needs a restart for your phone to make 'normal' GPS available again.
