BUILT AROUND YOUR FLIGHT

Less searching.
More seeing.

01

Your panel, your layout.

Pick the instruments you need. Arrange and resize them for your screen, whether you fly a piston single, a turboprop or a jet.

02

Readings with context.

Engine displays adapt to the reported engine type. Unavailable data is marked clearly, instead of being filled with invented readings.

03

The original display.

The development preview streams supported simulator pop-out windows for PFD, ND, ECAM and E/WD. Your aircraft supplies the image.

THE INSTRUMENT LIBRARY

28 MSFS instruments.
One Free catalog.

From the first climb to the final checklist. Flight data, engine readings, aircraft systems and original simulator displays, all in a dashboard you arrange.

Development preview · September 2026 The latest widgets and pop-out streaming are in development. The downloadable beta may contain an earlier set.

    Select, arrange and resize the widgets available in your build. Open a supported simulator window for original-display streaming in the development preview.

WILL IT WORK WITH MY AIRCRAFT?

Standard values.
Honest limits.

The core widgets read the simulator's standard variables, not aircraft-specific code. Whatever reports them shows the full panel. Where an add-on keeps its systems in its own variables, single readings can differ — and a widget that does not know a value says so instead of inventing one.

Reads the full panel

MSFS 2020 default aircraft

Cessna 172, A320neo, 787 and the rest of the stock hangar. They report the standard simulator variables, so every core widget has a source to read from.

Flies today, with limits

A320 family pack · FlyByWire A32NX

The first aircraft pack covers the A320 family (A319 · A320 · A321), and the FlyByWire A32NX is the variant it supports today — the aircraft we fly ourselves, every test flight since September was one. The core widgets read attitude, speed, altitude, engines and fuel correctly; systems the add-on keeps in its own variables, such as spoiler arming, can differ there. The pack's panels read those variables directly — in beta. Aircraft packs are part of the Pilot plan; beta testers get them free during the beta.

Other add-on aircraft

Anything built on the standard variables works the same way. The more an add-on models its own systems, the more single readings can differ — the instruments do not guess.

Not yet

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

The bridge reads the 2020 simulator today. 2024 support is on the roadmap, not in the build.

More A320 variants

Further A320neo variants, including the default Microsoft A320neo, are planned for the A320 family pack; X-Plane comes later.

More aircraft types

Further aircraft packs, one per type, after the A320 family — for example the A350, the A380 and the 737. No dates yet.

PILOT PLAN · COMING SOON

Aircraft packs.
One plan for all.

A pack is a set of widgets built for one aircraft type. The first is the A320 family (A319 · A320 · A321), with more aircraft types to follow. Pilot covers every pack — no single purchases.

Beta testers get aircraft packs free during the beta.

Soon / Pilot plan
  • Aircraft packs — A320 family first, more aircraft types to follow
  • Later: inputs and control
  • Everything in Free
  • Not purchasable yet

Which variants the A320 family pack reads today is listed under “Will it work with my aircraft?” on the home page.

BEFORE YOU TAKE OFF

Good questions.
Clear answers.

What is FlightCockpit?

FlightCockpit is an Android cockpit dashboard for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. A Windows desktop bridge sends simulator data over your local network to your phone or tablet.

Are the display widgets free?

The core widgets belong to the Free plan. The current development catalog contains 28 widgets. Screenshots show development builds; widgets and original-display streaming may not yet be included in the downloadable beta. Aircraft packs — widgets built for one aircraft type, starting with the A320 family — are part of the upcoming Pilot plan, which is not purchasable yet. Beta testers get aircraft packs free during the beta.

Which aircraft are supported?

The core widgets are designed for different aircraft types, including piston aircraft, turboprops and jets. Aircraft packs are built for one type each; the first, the A320 family pack (A319 · A320 · A321), supports the FlyByWire A32NX today, with more A320 variants planned. Available readings depend on the standard simulator data each aircraft provides. Missing readings appear as unavailable. Some add-ons use custom data or report zero for unmodeled systems; universal aircraft compatibility has not been verified.

Does the PFD show the original simulator display?

Yes. In the development preview, the PFD, ND, ECAM / SD and E/WD widgets receive an original simulator pop-out window captured by the Windows bridge. The aircraft must support opening the required display in a separate window. FlightCockpit does not recreate the PFD from telemetry.

What do I need to connect?

A Windows 10 or 11 PC running MSFS 2020 and the FlightCockpit desktop bridge, plus an Android device on the same local network. Pair the Android app with the desktop bridge by scanning its QR code. Streaming stays on your local network; internet access is used for account and license services.

Can I use iOS, MSFS 2024 or X-Plane?

The current implementation targets Android and MSFS 2020. iOS, MSFS 2024 and X-Plane are not currently advertised as supported releases. There is no confirmed release date for them.

Is FlightCockpit affiliated with Microsoft?

No. FlightCockpit is an independent third-party product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation.
