SimFlyMinimums was built simplicity-first: enough to fly with real awareness and confidence, without the clutter of a full flight management suite.

01 / Situational Awareness
Always know where you are.
SimFlyMinimums shows your aircraft live on a satellite moving map for MSFS 2020/2024 and X-Plane 11/12, together with airports, runways, navaids and terrain. The map uses MapTiler, included with the app (Azure Maps optional, with your own key), and is part of the Free tier.

Re-plan to a nearby airport when conditions change mid-flight.
Premium
Waypoint progress
Distance to the next waypoint and to destination, always in view.

03 / Descent & Approaches
Fly stabilised approaches.
SimFlyMinimums Premium tells you when to start down and which vertical speed holds a 3-degree descent path at your current groundspeed. If the landing does not work out, go-around support gives you the missed-approach information taken from the approach chart.
3-degree descent guidance
Know when to start down and how to hold a clean 3° profile.
Premium
Vertical speed assistance
Target vertical speeds for your groundspeed and descent angle.

Preventive lights dashboard
One row per item, one column per flight phase: green, amber or red as you fly, so you see what is still to do before it is late. Comes with a default rule set; the points shown are local estimates, not an official evaluation.
Free
Import your scoring criteria
Paste the criteria you fly by and the AI turns them into a rule set for the dashboard. You review every rule before it is saved.
Premium
05 / Sim Playground
Because it's a simulator.
The Sim Playground is the set of SimFlyMinimums Premium tools made purely for fun: automatic circle-to-land, recreating a real-world flight from its FlightRadar track, and experimental synthetic guidance for practising tricky procedures.
Circle-to-land automation
Let SimFlyMinimums fly the circling pattern while you watch and learn.

FlightRadar recreation
Load the track of a real flight (FlightRadar24, OpenSky or a CSV file) and the automation flies your aircraft along it, from the climb to the approach, while you monitor.

Synthetic guidance
Experimental guidance to help you practice tricky procedures.
