01 / What it does

A clearer picture of every flight.

Satellite situational awareness

A satellite moving map with live aircraft position so you always know where you are — and never overshoot an airport again.

Simple flight planning

Build IFR, VFR and image-overlay routes, import PLN, GPX or SimBrief plans, and follow your progress on the map.

Better approaches

3-degree descent guidance, vertical-speed assistance and go-around support help you fly stabilised approaches every time.

Checklists & cockpit confidence

Phase-aware checklists and alerts that build the habits real crews rely on — without overwhelming you.

Virtual PF / PM

A virtual pilot flying / pilot monitoring companion with callouts and a transcript, so you never fly the procedure alone.

Sim Playground

Have fun with circle-to-land automation, FlightRadar-based flight recreation and other "funtastic" tools.

Stay oriented

A satellite map that keeps you in the picture.

Real-time moving map powered by Azure Maps or MapTiler, with your aircraft position streamed live from the sim. Departure and arrival airports, runways, navaids and intersections are all there when you need them.

  • Live aircraft tracking via SimConnect or X-Plane
  • Airport overshoot awareness
  • Terrain, elevation and points of interest
  • Satellite, road, night and relief map styles

Plan with ease

Routes that take minutes, not study sessions.

Create simple IFR, VFR and image-overlay routes, or import the plans you already have. SimBrief integration and offline IFR route generation mean you spend less time setting up and more time flying.

  • Load MSFS PLN, GPX and KML files
  • SimBrief OFP import
  • Offline IFR routing over published airways
  • Waypoint progress and diversion support

Go anywhere

From busy airways to remote bush strips.

Whether you're shooting an instrument approach into a major hub or hunting for a grass strip in the mountains, SimFlyMinimums keeps you oriented and confident — the way it was originally built for bush flying.

  • POIs and bush flying spots
  • Terrain awareness and obstacle alerting
  • Minimums and approach information
  • Flight Recorder to review your flights

“It started as a tool to stop me losing airports on bush flights. It became the cockpit companion I always wanted.”
