MSFS 2020 & 2024
Your simulator. Your add-ons. Your PC. One command centre.
If you love Microsoft Flight Simulator but hate digging through Windows folders, chasing scenery conflicts, clearing caches, checking drivers, managing hundreds of add-ons or trying to work out why your sim suddenly isn't running properly. . .
Runway Command Operations Center was built for you.
RCOC brings simulator management, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, add-on organisation, scenery discovery, GSX profiles and everyday maintenance together in one premium Windows app.
And wherever possible, we've built it around one simple idea:
One click. Less messing around. More flying.
You don't need to be a Windows expert. You don't need to know where every MSFS folder or configuration file lives. And you definitely shouldn't have to spend your night searching forums just to fix your simulator.
RCOC does the heavy lifting and gives you the information in plain English.
CONFLICT RADAR
Got two airports installed for the same location? Scenery packages fighting with each other? Wondering whether your huge Community folder is hurting your FPS?
Conflict Radar helps find the problem.
RCOC scans your simulator content for possible duplicated airports, overlapping scenery and packages covering the same areas, then brings those potential conflicts together so you have somewhere sensible to start troubleshooting.
No manually opening hundreds of folders trying to guess what's related.
SCENERY SWITCHBOARD
Your Community folder doesn't need to contain everything you own all at once.
Scenery Switchboard lets you control what's active and what isn't.
Temporarily disable scenery for testing, organise large collections and bring packages back when you need them.
Got add-ons stored on another drive?
RCOC can also help link compatible add-on storage into your simulator, meaning a package that may normally take up gigabytes on your main drive can be connected using a link that's only kilobytes in size.
Cleaner Community folder. More storage freedom. Easier troubleshooting.
FLEET MANIFEST & LIVERIES
Aircraft and liveries can pile up just as quickly as scenery.
RCOC shows you which aircraft and liveries are installed, so you don’t have to dig through your simulator folders to find them.
Select an aircraft and open the new See All Liveries pop-out to view all its liveries visually, with aircraft previews, airline names and registrations in one place.
It’s a much easier way to see and manage your MSFS collection.
SYSTEM READINESS
Flight Simulator can push a PC incredibly hard.
RCOC's System Readiness gives you one place to see what the computer underneath your simulator is actually doing.
Depending on your hardware, RCOC can show things like:
-
CPU usage and temperature
-
GPU usage and temperature
-
Memory usage
-
Storage and system information
-
Simulator-related performance information
-
Live and historical performance graphs
But it doesn't stop at showing you numbers.
RCOC can also help identify things that may need attention, including:
-
NVIDIA/graphics driver updates
-
CPU and chipset driver updates
-
Windows updates
-
Other simulator-related system components
So instead of jumping between Windows Update, hardware utilities, websites and driver tools, you can see the important stuff together.
DLSS SWAPPER
Supported NVIDIA users can also manage the DLSS version used by Microsoft Flight Simulator directly through RCOC.
No hunting for DLL files. No manually replacing files inside simulator folders.
It's a far easier way to manage DLSS versions and can help you experiment with improvements to smoothness, stability and visual quality.
MEMORY & PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
RCOC is also being developed to go deeper into the problems that can slowly ruin a flight.
Instead of simply telling you that your memory usage is high, RCOC can help identify what is consuming memory, explain the problem in normal language and provide controlled options for dealing with supported issues.
The technical information is there when you want it.
But you shouldn't need an IT degree to understand it.
FIND AIRPORT SCENERY & GSX PROFILES
Flying somewhere new and wondering if there's a better airport available?
Search for an airport directly inside RCOC and discover relevant freeware and commercial scenery without spending half your night searching the internet.
And for GSX users, it gets even better.
RCOC can identify airports missing GSX Pro profiles and help you find available profiles for them.
BULK GSX PROFILE INSTALLATION
Instead of downloading profiles individually, finding the right folders and manually copying files one by one, RCOC can install multiple supported GSX profiles through one streamlined process.
Select them.
Install them.
Done.
It's one of those jobs that should have always been easy.
Now it is.
FIND ME A FLIGHT
Sometimes you want to fly.
You just have absolutely no idea where.
Tell Find Me a Flight roughly how much time you've got and let RCOC help find airport combinations and routes that fit.
Got an hour?
Four hours?
A whole afternoon?
Turn:
"Where the hell should I fly today?"
into an actual flight idea.
QUICK COMMANDS
RCOC also puts the everyday things flight simmers constantly need right in front of you.
Quick access to tools and locations such as:
-
Community Folder
-
User configuration
-
Custom add-on folders
-
Local cache maintenance
-
Rolling cache maintenance
-
Simulator-related file and maintenance tools
No more remembering obscure Windows paths or digging through AppData every time you need something.
TROUBLESHOOTING WITHOUT THE HEADACHE
When your simulator isn’t behaving properly, it can be hard to know where to start.
RCOC’s Diagnose section brings together WASM, CTD Detective, Stutter Solver, Loading Detective and Memory Leak Detective. Whether you’re dealing with a crash, stutters, a slow-loading flight or rising memory use, you have a place to start looking for evidence.
There are also clear guides to help you understand what you’re seeing and what to try next. They’re written for flight simmers, in straightforward language.
BUILT FOR BIG ADD-ON COLLECTIONS
The bigger your simulator gets, the more useful RCOC becomes.
If you've got hundreds or thousands of scenery packages, aircraft, liveries, utilities and profiles spread across multiple drives, RCOC can help cut down the time spent:
-
Digging through Community folders
-
Finding hidden simulator directories
-
Looking for duplicate scenery
-
Testing add-ons individually
-
Moving packages around manually
-
Managing multiple storage drives
-
Clearing simulator caches
-
Finding configuration files
-
Keeping track of aircraft and liveries
-
Checking PC performance
-
Finding scenery
-
Installing GSX profiles
-
Working out where to fly
-
Trying to figure out why MSFS has suddenly lost the plot
Instead of managing your simulator through dozens of folders, websites and Windows tools. . .
Open RCOC.
BUILT BY A SIMMER, FOR SIMMERS
RCOC isn't another generic PC utility that happens to know Microsoft Flight Simulator exists.
It's being built specifically around the problems flight simmers actually deal with & was built by a simmer for simmers!
We know customers can have hundreds or even thousands of dollars invested in their simulator, so file management and maintenance aren't things we take lightly.
RCOC has been designed around clear actions, confirmations, validation and controlled workflows.
Where supported operations involve temporarily disabling, moving or changing simulator content, they're designed to be reversible wherever possible.
And before sensitive actions happen, you should know what RCOC is about to do.
The app is designed to work within the simulator and system areas it actually needs—not go wandering through unrelated personal files.
BUILT FOR YOUR PC
There is no such thing as one standard flight-sim computer.
Different CPUs.
Different GPUs.
Different drives.
Different Windows configurations.
Steam.
Microsoft Store.
MSFS 2020.
MSFS 2024.
Small Community folders.
Absolutely ridiculous Community folders.
RCOC has been designed with that reality in mind.
Where supported information is available, RCOC works with your actual simulator installation and your actual hardware rather than expecting every customer to have the same setup.
Your PC shouldn't have to adapt to RCOC.
RCOC should adapt to your PC.
MORE THAN AN ADD-ON MANAGER
RCOC isn't just a prettier way of looking at folders.
It brings together:
Add-on management.
Conflict detection.
Diagnostics.
Troubleshooting.
PC monitoring.
Maintenance.
Scenery management.
Aircraft and livery organisation.
GSX profile installation.
Scenery discovery.
Flight discovery.
System readiness.
All inside one application built specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
That's why we call it:
Your Simulator Command Centre.
DESIGNED TO MAKE THE COMPLICATED STUFF SIMPLE
There's a huge amount going on behind Microsoft Flight Simulator.
RCOC doesn't pretend that complexity doesn't exist.
It just tries very hard to make sure you don't have to deal with most of it.
Advanced information is there for customers who want it.
But for everyone else?
See the problem.
Understand what it means.
Press the button.
Get back to flying.
That's the whole philosophy behind RCOC.
RCOC is being built to grow with the flight-simulation community.
As MSFS changes, hardware changes and new problems appear, RCOC can continue evolving with them.

FWX Helicopter All-in-One Bundle: all four FWX add-ons for helicopters in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with flight dynamics, turbine sound, rotor shadow and rotor blade haptics
Four add-ons work on four parts of the same flight. The handling under you, the sound around you, the shadow on the ground, the rotor in your seat.
What is this bundle? The four parts do not replace any flight model and do not rewrite any flight model or aircraft files: the simulator's flight model stays fully in force and keeps computing as designed, and the simulator itself executes all of it. Flight dynamics and haptics work on every helicopter in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the rotor shadow on the seven types where it disappears in the simulator. Only the sound part works exclusively on the EC135, the other three parts are not tied to one type.
The flight dynamics: how the machine handles, not how the camera moves
Flight dynamics is the heart of this bundle. Your helicopter stops holding itself in the hover. It comes alive under you and asks to be flown.
Pitch, roll and climb follow the actual attitude, and your control inputs take effect immediately. Hover and forward flight can be adjusted separately, every axis can be switched on its own, and the strength is infinitely variable from zero to full, at any second of the flight.
Handling, shadow and blade beats are not precomputed: they are built live from flight data, control inputs and the real rotor speed. The sound part's strength lies elsewhere: recordings of a real EC135 instead of the flat stock sounds.
The turbine sound: real recordings instead of the stock sounds
The sound part replaces the EC135 sounds completely, inside and out, with recordings of a real EC135: cold start, spool-up, idle, flight, shutdown. It is the only part of the bundle that works on the EC135 alone.
- Both engines work separately: uneven start, uneven shutdown, single-engine taxi
- The start sequence can be aborted at any point, like on the real aircraft
- The sound follows the work of the turbine, not the rotor speed: the governor, which holds the rotor speed constant by itself, keeps it steady while the turbine has to work harder as soon as more power is needed. That is exactly what you hear. When power is reduced, the turbine audibly eases and the rotor speed stays up
- Seamless from the starter into the running turbine, smooth torque transitions instead of abrupt tonal jumps
From outside the characteristic twin-turbine whine, plus rotor downwash, flyby and hover. And above all the Fenestron, the shrouded tail rotor of the EC135: its sound is the signature of this type, and that is exactly how you hear it from outside.
The rotor shadow: the shadow that disappears above a certain rotor speed
The rotor shadow part covers seven well-known types, all other helicopters have their shadow anyway. A rotor turns above the pilot, yet on these seven its shadow disappears completely in the simulator above a certain rotor speed: visible while starting, then suddenly gone once the rotor is up to speed. This bundle gives it back: it turns with the real rotor speed, tilts with the machine and shows main and tail rotor separately, so two shadows instead of one dark blob. Every type is individually calibrated.
- Airbus H125
- Airbus H135 (EC135)
- Airbus H225
- Guimbal Cabri G2
- Robinson R66
- Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
- Boeing CH-47 Chinook, both rotors
The haptics: feel the rotor in your body, not just hear it
The haptics make the rotor felt in your own body. They send the rotor beats as deep pulses to an audio device that Windows recognizes as a playback device and that works in your seat or on your seat frame. So you feel the rotor instead of only hearing it, and every type feels different.
In detail: every single blade pass instead of one steady hum. The rhythm follows the real rotor speed, two to eight pulses per revolution depending on the type.
- On start-up, single blade beats slow enough to count
- At mid rotor speed the uneven clatter of drooping blades
- At full speed one continuous, calm bass beat
- Rotor brake with a run-down you can feel
- Every stock helicopter in the simulator is covered automatically, from the two-bladed R66 to the six-bladed S-64 Skycrane. There is nothing for you to set up
- Third-party helicopters can be adjusted individually, although the rotor blade detection works on them as well
Sliders for volume, bass and pulse strength, plus device selection if you have several outputs. Without such an audio device there is nothing to feel.
Four parts, one flight
The four add-ons are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. Flight dynamics and rotor shadow each have a master switch, on and off at any time, in mid-flight. If you only want to hover, turn the flight dynamics down smoothly. And if you do not want the haptics, leave them off and you still have the full bundle.
Based on our market overview there is currently nothing for MSFS 2024 that makes helicopter flight behavior more immersive and adjustable in this form. From the makers of the FWX EC135 Sound Mod, reviewed by SimFlight, Threshold, MSFS Addons and MSFS Gateway.
What it cannot do
- The sound works on the EC135 only. On every other type the stock sounds stay unchanged
- The rotor shadow works on the seven types listed above only. UH-1 and Bell 407 do not need it, they have their rotor shadow out of the box
- Without an audio device that Windows recognizes as a playback device you will feel nothing from the haptics, and they send no audio to your speakers
- It does not replace any flight model and does not rewrite any flight model files
- It works on helicopters only, not on airplanes
Works with your other add-ons
- Compatible with ChasePlane and FSRealistic: those two work on camera and sound, this bundle works on the flight behavior underneath. The camera is never touched
- No changes to aircraft or flight model files
- Runs alongside your own liveries and other utilities
- The sound add-on has no impact on frame rate
- Requires Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Operated from the toolbar inside the simulator, in mid-flight
VR compatible: all four parts work in VR exactly as they do on screen, and the panel is reachable with a headset on. Adjust in flight without taking the headset off.
A full control panel sits in the simulator's toolbar, right where you open every other panel. Flight dynamics, rotor shadow and haptics each have their own tab in the FWX Manager: one click and everything is in the cockpit in front of you, in mid-flight. A master switch on top, the settings below, no switching to the desktop.
- Every change takes effect at once, no restart
- Settings are kept per helicopter, and the tested default can be restored at any time
Installation, notes and updates
- Click-through installer: pick the folder, done
- Note on package order: for the sound to take effect, the package order may have to be set by hand, in the settings of the simulator, in the package library section. The installer walks you through it with a confirmation dialog. This applies to this bundle as well.
- Starts and stops with the simulator, stays silent in menus and loading screens
- You can uninstall in two ways: through our own FWX application or through the Windows program list. Uninstalling brings the stock sounds back
- Free updates, new sound content and new features included
- If another helicopter missing its rotor shadow appears in the simulator, it is added free with an update
