Last updated:

SimFlyMinimums 1.0.9 · Data Pack 1.0.2

  • File on IVAO: opens the IVAO flight plan form already filled in, from your SimBrief OFP or from your setup and route. You check it and submit it on IVAO.
  • Import rules: paste the scoring criteria you fly by; the AI turns them into a rule set for the dashboard, which you review before saving. What cannot be measured is listed apart. The points stay local estimates.
  • SimBrief: the route is drawn with the SID, the enroute part and the STAR in different colours, and loads faster.
  • FlightRadar replay: the track keeps the initial climb and the approach; only the taxi and the take-off and landing rolls are left out.
  • File on IVAO and Import rules are Premium features.

SimFlyMinimums 1.0.8 · Data Pack 1.0.2

  • Preventive lights: the rules come in rule sets; the default one is the SimFlyMinimums set (SFM). The points are local estimates only.
  • IVAO: sign in with your IVAO account and load your active IVAO flight plan in Flight Plans (read-only).

SimFlyMinimums 1.0.7 · Data Pack 1.0.1

  • The moving map is included: no MapTiler account or key to set up. Azure Maps stays available with your own key.
  • Preventive lights dashboard: one row per variable, one column per checklist phase, with rule sets. The points shown are local estimates, not your airline's official evaluation.
  • One APPROACH checklist for the A320, showing the items of the approach type chosen in Flight Plans.
  • SimBrief: fuel, weights, times, alternate and weather from the OFP, a warning when the OFP airports differ from Setup, and the runways sent to SimBrief only when you choose to.
  • Checklists: when the app starts, the checklist of the phase detected opens (not the next one); TAKEOFF opens while you are still lined up, after BEFORE TAKEOFF. The checklist in progress is kept when you switch tabs.
  • VFR and image-overlay flight plans are part of the Free tier.
  • Flight Reports is open to everyone: Free shows your last three recorded flights, Premium the full history.
  • Input Events Explorer on the Moving Map: listing and reading input events is free. Firing, saving and deleting them stays Premium.
