TREES LAB – TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FORESTS IN MSFS 2024
Transform the way forests look and change throughout the year in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024!
Trees Lab is a powerful and easy-to-use Windows application that gives you more control over the trees and vegetation in your simulator. Customize tree height, forest density, autumn colours, seasonal timing, spring blossom and much more.
Whether you want towering conifers in the Alps, spectacular autumn colours over New England, lush summer forests or bare winter landscapes, Trees Lab lets you create the atmosphere you want.
LIVE SEASONS – CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE WHILE YOU FLY
Experience the changing seasons without restarting your flight!
With the Live Seasons feature, you can switch between eight seasonal looks:
- Winter (bare trees)
- Leaf-out
- Spring blossom
- Summer
- Early autumn
- Peak autumn
- Leaf fall
- Late autumn
Fine-tune the season using a slider or adjust how many leaves remain on deciduous trees.
Seasonal changes take effect within seconds while flying. Trees Lab automatically adjusts seasonal dates for the southern hemisphere and allows you to restore your flight's original date.
CUSTOMIZE TREE SIZE AND FOREST DENSITY
Create forests that match your personal preferences.
Adjust the height and amount of vegetation independently for four categories:
- Broadleaf trees
- Conifers
- Palms
- Shrubs
Make conifers twice as tall, create more open woodland, increase forest density or reduce vegetation in selected categories.
Global controls also let you adjust overall tree size, forest density and town vegetation density.
DESIGN YOUR OWN SEASONAL COLOURS
Take control of when and how trees change throughout the year.
Trees Lab allows you to:
- Make autumn colours appear earlier or later.
- Increase or decrease autumn colour intensity.
- Adjust spring leaf-out timing.
- Change blossom timing.
- Fine-tune base leaf colours.
- Create different seasonal behaviour for different tree categories.
Create vivid autumn forests while keeping conifers green, delay spring vegetation or experiment with different seasonal appearances.
CREATE, SAVE AND SWITCH BETWEEN CUSTOM PRESETS
Design your own forest configurations and save them as reusable sets.
Create unlimited custom looks such as:
- Giant Conifers
- Early Fiery Autumn
- Gentle Autumn
- Ancient Forest
- Late Spring
- Blossom Time
- Open Parkland
Activate a saved set whenever you want to change the appearance of your simulator.
Only one set is active at a time, making it easy to switch between different forest styles.
EXPERIMENTAL TEXTURE LAB
For users who enjoy experimenting, Trees Lab also includes a Texture Lab.
Explore the simulator's vegetation textures and experiment with seasonal recolouring, including autumn, golden leaves, red maple, spring, frost and other effects.
Texture Lab can create recoloured leaf textures and organize them into sets.
Please note that Texture Lab is an experimental feature and is still being tested.
SAFE AND REVERSIBLE
Trees Lab is designed to work without modifying the simulator's original files.
Custom vegetation packages are stored separately in the MSFS Community folder.
You can deactivate your custom sets and restart the simulator to return to the default vegetation.
EASY TO USE
- Standalone Windows application.
- No traditional installation required.
- Automatic Community folder detection for Microsoft Store and Steam installations.
- Built-in tree and vegetation discovery.
- Live preview of seasonal tree appearance.
- Save and manage multiple custom configurations.
- Restore default vegetation settings whenever needed.
COMPATIBILITY AND REQUIREMENTS
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Windows PC
- Access to the MSFS 2024 Community folder
- SimConnect. dll from the MSFS 2024 SDK for the optional Live Seasons feature
Live Seasons requires a SimConnect connection. Other customization features work without SimConnect.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Changes made using saved tree sets require restarting Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Live Seasons changes can be applied during a flight without restarting the simulator.
Trees Lab modifies seasonal timing and intensity through the simulator's vegetation data. Exact autumn leaf colours cannot currently be selected directly.
The simulator does not support falling-leaf animations. The leaf-loss control adjusts how bare the trees appear.
Trees Lab may conflict with other add-ons that modify the same vegetation files. For best results, avoid activating conflicting forest modifications simultaneously.
MAKE EVERY SEASON YOUR OWN
From snowy winter landscapes to colourful autumn valleys and lush summer forests, Trees Lab gives you the freedom to customize the natural world of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Shape your forests. Control the seasons. Enjoy a different view from the cockpit.
Hover Training /xp
HeliRomandy Hover Trainer
Master the hover. Measure it. Improve it.
Hovering is the first real skill every helicopter pilot has to learn, and the one you never stop working on. Hover Trainer turns it into a precise, repeatable exercise with a clear score and concrete advice, in X-Plane 12 and MSFS 2020/2024.

Master the hover. Measure it. Improve it.
Hovering is the first real skill every helicopter pilot has to learn, and the one you never stop working on. Hover Trainer turns it into a precise, repeatable exercise with a clear score and concrete advice, in X-Plane 12 and MSFS 2020/2024.
Get into your hover at any height, in ground effect or out of ground effect, and press START. From that moment, the spot, height and heading become your reference. Hover Trainer records every movement for 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds, then gives you your HOVER SCORE out of 100 with a full debrief:
HOVER SCORE: 87/100
Position ±0. 8 m
Altitude ±0. 4 m
Heading ±6°
Excellent positional control. Work on pedal stability.
FEATURES
- One-click hover test: starts when you press START and ends by itself. Audio beeps mark the start and the end, so you can keep your eyes on the simulator.
- Free hover height: train a low hover taxi height or a high out-of-ground-effect hover, it is your choice.
- Precise measurement of position, height and heading, with average and maximum deviations.
- Drift detection: tells a steady drift ("drifting to the left, 4 m over the test") from an unstable hover wandering around the spot, and gives the right correction for each.
- Control smoothness analysis: detects over-controlling on the cyclic, pedals or collective.
- Personal instructor debrief: one strength, one point to work on, and targeted tips.
- Live top-down position trace during and after the test.
- Three difficulty profiles: Beginner, Standard and Expert.
- Test duration of your choice: 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds.
- Personal history and personal best, so you can track your progress.
- Autopilot or hover-hold use is detected and marked as unranked.
- Every test saved as a CSV file for your own analysis.
- Works with any helicopter, default or third-party.
Mytrafficv3
MyTrafficV3 — living airports, the way real aviation actually works.
NEW: an all-new interface. MyTrafficV3 now shows a live map of every airport with each AI flight labelled, departure and arrival boards built from real airline schedules, an en route list to follow any flight, and a guided tour of every page.

NEW: an all-new interface. MyTrafficV3 now shows a live map of every airport with each AI flight labelled, departure and arrival boards built from real airline schedules, an en route list to follow any flight, and a guided tour of every page.
No more empty skies. MyTrafficV3 is an AI traffic injector for MSFS 2024 that turns any airport into a real, breathing operation — powered by real airline schedules, not generic routes or repetitive filler traffic.
What it does for you:
- Real schedules, real traffic — flights based on actual domestic and international airline networks, with correct flight numbers, airlines, aircraft types, and timing that matches how that airport truly operates.
- Full gate-to-gate cycle — departure, taxi, takeoff, cruise, landing, and arrival, all automated and perfectly timed.
- Real-world connections — an aircraft that just landed can become the next departure from that same airport, exactly like real-world turnarounds.
- Organized ground traffic — better separation between aircraft on taxiways, no more visual chaos.
- Automatic cargo detection — the right livery for the right flight, freighters never mistaken for passenger aircraft.
- Works out of the box, even better with your packages — runs right away using MSFS 2024's native generic liveries. Add AIG, FS Traffic, or FSLTL, and every airline flies with its exact real-world paint and model.
- Genuinely FPS-friendly — tested and optimized, our own engine logic that talks to the simulator's API efficiently even with full traffic.
- One click and you're flying — simple setup, with a live dashboard to watch it all happen in real time.
No more watching the same aircraft take off to the same place every time. Here, every flight exists because it's real!
Worry about flying. We'll handle the traffic.

• FLIGHT MAP
Follow the aircraft in 2D or 3D, bring in your SimBrief route and check the next FIX. Move from an ocean crossing to an airport surface, with airport, navigation and ATC information close at hand.

• FLIGHT MAP
Follow the aircraft in 2D or 3D, bring in your SimBrief route and check the next FIX. Move from an ocean crossing to an airport surface, with airport, navigation and ATC information close at hand.
• SATELLITE MAP
Switch to satellite imagery to explore the terrain around the airport. Use 2D for a broad overview or 3D for a different perspective. Imagery availability and detail vary by region.
• IFR APPROACH TRAINING
Choose the airport, runway, approach, STAR and transition, then select your starting FIX. Inspect the procedure on the map and adjust the training legs before you fly. Aircraft preparation features depend on the supported aircraft.
• VISUAL AND FLARE PRACTICE
Set up a visual intercept, downwind or flare practice position. Spend more of the session on the part you want to improve, rather than repeating the whole flight.
• REPOSITION AND PRESETS
Move to a runway, taxiway or gate, or choose custom coordinates and attitude. Save reusable session presets for your next practice. Repositioning prepares a starting point; it does not restore the complete aircraft or weather state.
• FOLLOW THE GREEN
Enter the taxiway sequence you want to follow and see it highlighted in green. Review the route in 2D or 3D before moving across the airport. The route follows your selection and is not an ATC clearance.
• PRECISION RECORDING
Record the approach for a closer review of flight path, airspeed, vertical speed, G force and pitch. Capture the moments around flare, throttle idle and touchdown, then open the session in Debrief or Replay.
• 3D DEBRIEF
See the measurements behind the result. Compare the planned approach with the recorded track, inspect touchdown and bounce, and find the observations behind each deduction. The colored trace helps locate the parts worth revisiting.
• SYNCHRONIZED REPLAY
Scrub through the timeline or select a graph point. The map, recorded PFD, aircraft attitude and graphs follow the same moment, making it easier to see when the approach changed. Replay moves the review cursor; it does not move the simulator aircraft.
• LOGBOOK AND REPORTS
Find previous sessions in Logbook and return to their reports. Keep detailed results as PDF, offline HTML or CSV, with approach guides, path maps and touchdown details. Reports can also be reviewed on a phone.
• PILOT TEST
Follow spoken and onscreen instructions, then review the measurements for each exercise. See where a climb or turn met the target and where it needs another try. Pilot Test is simulation practice, not a certified pilot assessment.
• CDU/MCDU AND MCP/FCU
View and operate the supported aircraft CDU or MCDU through the companion interface. Aircraft-specific preparation tools help with selected workflows; available controls vary by aircraft.
• PC, PHONE AND TABLET
Use a paired companion while the PC host runs beside MSFS 2024. Only the host requires a purchase key.
• COMPATIBILITY
MSFS 2024 is supported; MSFS 2020 and PSX compatibility is not confirmed. Aircraft add-ons are sold separately. Aircraft-specific integrations include PMDG 737/777, default 747-8 and iFly 737 MAX 8. Fenix approach preparation is experimental. iniBuilds A350 supports selected FCU/KCCU controls, not full FMS preparation or MFD mirroring. Direct Navigraph integration is not supported. Map route import does not automatically load every aircraft FMC. Some demonstration images use simulated telemetry with simulator navigation data. For flight simulation only, not real-world navigation or certified training.
• Latest development highlights — 2026-10-07
Development update · 7 October 2026. These improvements have been implemented locally; inclusion in the public installer or update channel has not yet been confirmed. Availability depends on the installed build.
• In-game Control / Monitor modes: prepare an approach and access FMC / MCP, recording, Pilot Test and hold controls from the MSFS panel. Monitor mode keeps flight values and training status in a compact display with adjustable background opacity.
• PMDG 737-900 preparation: improved PERF / approach selection, both NAV radios and course settings, MCP target verification and AP / APP / FD reset handling. Checked in the RKSS runway 32R to 32L preparation scenario.
• ASOBO / Working Title 747-8 preparation: improved airport and approach selection, starting-FIX / LEGS sequencing, ILS frequency / course verification and FD / MCP setup. RKSI ILS34R automatic CDU entry was recorded and checked against actual aircraft values.
• Fenix A320 experimental preparation: verified landing configuration FULL, ZFW / CG, VLS / VAPP, route / ILS, FD / LS and selected FCU targets in the RKSI ILS34R scenario. Altitude input settling was corrected for the checked aircraft.
Verification covers the named aircraft and scenarios, not every model or procedure. Fenix weather / minima / AP engagement readiness remains unverified. A separate 747 RKSI ILS15LY course mismatch remains unresolved. These checks do not certify autoland, complete landing automation or captured LOC / GS reset. Optional FMC preparation failure does not block repositioning.
• More tools for reviewing and repeating a flight
Feature roundup through 7 October 2026. Availability and recorded instrument detail depend on the installed build and the data in each recording. Android guest features described below are in the local review candidate; Google Play public availability is not confirmed here.
• Recorded PFD: review Boeing-style rectangular or Airbus-style rounded instruments alongside the map and graphs. Auto/manual style, collapse and touch-friendly enlargement are available. IAS, GS, altitude, AGL height, V/S, attitude, heading, recorded targets and VREF follow the selected replay sample.
• Instrument data stays honest: recorded LOC / GS receiver indications appear only when valid data exists. Older recordings retain their available fields. AGL is not radio altitude, and unavailable FMA, FD commands, QNH, ILS identifier or DME are not invented. This is a recorded-data reconstruction, not a manufacturer display or certified instrument.
• Evidence-based debrief: inspect observed values, criteria, timing and duration behind deductions, including 1000 / 500 ft stabilization gates. ILS, LOC, RNAV / RNP and visual approaches use their applicable verified references. Coverage and unscored items distinguish missing data from poor flying.
• Synchronized review workspace: map, two configurable telemetry graphs and replay cursor share the same moment. Choose metrics, units, axis limits and time windows; inspect flare, throttle-idle and touchdown events. Significant scored deviation episodes receive an X marker at their worst point; missing data remains a gap.
• Review, then repeat: jump the review cursor to ten seconds before a problem or use Reposition here for a separate retraining action. Retraining requires the same aircraft, a valid airborne sample of at least 50 ft AGL, a fresh connection and no active recording. Supported position, attitude and settings are approximated; Freeze remains held.
• Compare like-for-like sessions: align graphs to touchdown and compare aircraft, runway, procedure, policy and available weight, flap, reference-speed and weather metadata. Review condition-filtered trends and daily / weekly / monthly bests. Unknown historical conditions are not silently treated as an exact match.
• Detailed approach and Pilot Test documents: retain flight-path maps, approach guides, touchdown close-ups, per-exercise targets, errors and deduction evidence as PDF, standalone offline HTML, full-measurement CSV and source JSON. Automatic generation, regeneration, job status / retry and Android save-location selection support keeping the result.
• Route briefing and LEG editing: inspect the next FIX, remaining distance, planned altitude, ETE / UTC ETA and turn information; edit FIX and altitude / speed restriction semantics. Optional geometric descent and deceleration references use disclosed assumptions. Imported plans and these estimates are not the aircraft active FMC leg or performance-based VNAV.
• Map control and information: north / track / heading views, look-ahead, free pan / return to aircraft and optional phase-based zoom memory. Airport, runway, FIX, ATC and traffic cards expose source and freshness; current local wind can be shown as runway headwind / crosswind components. Layer profiles and route-related ATC / traffic decluttering help keep the map readable.
• Connected taxi routes and sharing: enter a taxiway sequence, choose a start / end when needed, and draw only connected simulator facility segments. Explicit Share / Load lets PC and mobile use the route with revision conflict checks. Progress is manual; a green route is not an ATC clearance or automatic taxi command.
• Globe and map appearance: wide-area 3D uses a globe and close-up airport views return to a local projection; 2D remains available. Adjust trace / track thickness, trace opacity, FIX point / label size, restriction visibility and deviation-X size / visibility, with saved preferences and group reset.
• Pilot Test progression: move from single targets to paired targets and coordinated altitude / speed / heading changes, including steep turns. Spoken and onscreen instructions, target capture, stable hold, simultaneous onset and balanced progress feed per-exercise results and error graphs. This is simulator practice, not an official checkride.
• Android offline guest candidate: Explore without connection opens the actual bundled client screens with an isolated virtual Host, synthetic PHNL route, replay / PFD, local MCP / CDU, Pilot Test and sample documents. It is an interactive preview, not a simulator or live avionics session; real navigation, traffic, weather and aircraft functions still need the Windows Host.
Map references do not replace charts or real-world navigation. Replay reconstruction and retraining do not restore complete FMC, add-on internal state or weather. Online coverage varies; missing historical measurements are not fabricated. These features do not certify an aircraft or pilot, guarantee zero simulator performance cost or confirm Google Play release.
• Approach preparation and Settings improvements — 12 October 2026
These improvements are included in the Host 1. 3. 3 in-app update published on 12 October 2026. New installs start with the retained Host 1. 3. 1 Setup and update in the app. Aircraft-specific verification scope is described below.
• Settings and report management: Tablet pairing is the first Settings card. A compact report card further down opens the document-report library and options in a separate dialog with bounded scrolling, Escape dismissal and focus return. Saved reports no longer extend the Settings page ahead of connection setup.
• ASOBO / Working Title 747-8 MCP altitude: Selected-altitude input now addresses the aircraft's active MCP altitude slot. The RKSI rehearsal verified an actual 1,600 ft selection on the MCP and PFD rather than relying only on a generic simulator readback.
• PMDG route and instrument preparation: Route scanning now waits for fresh ACT LEGS data and checks page progress. PMDG 777 preparation waits for powered, current CDU and MCP data before applying commands. Aircraft-specific flight-director settings are preserved through automatic FMC/MCP preparation. The recorded RKSI runway 34R and 34L scenarios include actual FMC/MCP readback.
• Fenix A320 experimental approach preparation: The exact ENTER DEST DATA advisory is acknowledged once and the scratchpad is checked before selecting FULL on PERF APPR. FULL and computed VLS/VAPP are checked against MCDU data; unexpected scratchpad messages stop the affected step. Direct-route verification accepts a fresh T-P turning-point entry only when the requested FIX follows it, while retaining the full route scan. Weather, minima and autopilot readiness still require verification.
• Speed restoration when resuming: After an airborne approach or custom reposition, saved indicated airspeed and vertical speed are reapplied before unfreezing or resuming a full pause. Restoration is limited to the same aircraft and session; legacy TAS inputs remain separate. A PMDG 777 test restored a 185 kt request to approximately 184 kt immediately after release. This is speed restoration: it does not reset accumulated autopilot servo inputs or guarantee attitude stability after every freeze.
• Remote CDU controls: Updated mappings distinguish PMDG 737 Classic/FANS layouts and PMDG 777 FMC COMM controls, with aircraft-generation checks on input. Automated mapping and protocol checks passed; these checks do not establish every aircraft layout's simulator validation.
Aircraft-specific preparation remains limited to supported workflows and the named tested scenarios. Optional FMC preparation failure does not block repositioning. The screenshots are actual simulator/application views under the recorded conditions; no complete aircraft-state restoration, autoland, complete Fenix readiness or universal freeze-attitude fix is claimed.
• Windows distribution update — 12 October 2026: Host 1. 3. 3 is published through the in-app update channel. New installations use the existing Host 1. 3. 1 Setup, then update within the app. Use the separate Windows Client 1. 3. 3 Setup when needed. The earlier Client 1. 3. 2 and 1. 3. 1 downloads are retained as previous versions. Host 1. 3. 3 improves signed-package verification compatibility for existing 1. 3. 1 installations. The preceding dated development notes describe aircraft verification scope.
• Actual instrument recording — 15 October 2026
Host 1. 3. 8 adds optional actual GPU instrument recording for PMDG 737, PMDG 777 and Asobo / Working Title 747 in MSFS 2024. Select PFD, ND and Engine / EICAS, arrange screens in one to three columns, and review the timestamp-linked video alongside the map and telemetry graphs. The existing data-reconstructed PFD remains separate.
Recording is off by default. Choose automatic approach / pilot-test recording or manual start and stop. Standard uses 512 pixels per screen; Clear text uses 768 pixels, targeting up to 15 fps depending on actual instrument updates. Hardware H. 264 is stored in fragmented MP4 with timestamp metadata. A compatible hardware encoder and the supplied capture setup are required. Source-built ReShade runtime and full third-party notices are included in the Windows update payload; simulator deployment is explicit with MSFS closed and preserves existing proxy installations.
Actual three-screen recordings and browser replay were checked for the three supported profiles. The illustrated PMDG 777 ILS approach shows actual recorded instruments, a map and graphs. The manual recording is raw and unscored; genuine aircraft messages remain visible. A bounded 777 run recorded 95. 23 seconds at 10. 43 fps with zero reported recording drops, including a separate OBS coexistence check. These checks do not establish zero performance overhead, guaranteed 15 fps, full-flight coverage or completion of a normal aircraft checklist.
Distribution: Host 1. 3. 8 is now available through the verified in-app update channel. Retain the existing Host installer and use the in-app update channel when 1. 3. 8 is offered. The separate Windows Client remains version 1. 3. 6. Older installer downloads and dated feature history are retained. No new Host 1. 3. 8 installer is supplied by this UpdateOnly build.
Screenshot note: the new PC, tablet and phone layouts show actual PMDG777 instrument replay during a stabilized ILS approach, synchronized with the map and graphs. These are responsive application captures of a manual, unscored recording. Genuine center fuel-pump and FMC messages are preserved.
Virtual Crew - Helicopter Crew Assistant
STOP GUESSING. START HOOKING.
You hover. You squint at the tiny dot far below. You lean left, you lean right. You switch to external view for the tenth time.
Real helicopter crews don't work like that. A crew chief leans out of the door and talks you down: "Load twelve o'clock, 80 meters… forward 10, right 5… easy… load directly below… down 5… hold position… hooked up!"
Virtual Crew brings that crew chief into your simulator.
TWO MISSION MODES, ONE TOOL
Slin... STOP GUESSING. START HOOKING.
You hover. You squint at the tiny dot far below. You lean left, you lean right. You switch to external view for the tenth time.
Real helicopter crews don't work like that. A crew chief leans out of the door and talks you down: "Load twelve o'clock, 80 meters… forward 10, right 5… easy… load directly below… down 5… hold position… hooked up!"
Virtual Crew brings that crew chief into your simulator.
TWO MISSION MODES, ONE TOOL
Sling / Hoist. Drop a pin on the satellite map where the load is. Virtual Crew tracks your hook, not your cabin, and guides you from the first nautical mile to "Hooked up", then to "Load clear. "
Precision Landing. Helipad, rooftop, confined area, mountain landing zone, patient pickup. Set the point and the landing heading, then fly. You hear the approach, the corrections, the heading calls and finally "Touchdown… right on the mark!"
A REAL HUMAN VOICE
No robotic text-to-speech. Every callout is recorded by a real person and processed with a cockpit-intercom sound, so it sounds like a crewmate beside you, not a GPS.
CALLOUTS THAT HELP, NOT SPAM
- Silent until 5 NM from the target
- One clear call per nautical mile on the way in (5, 4, 3)
- Continuous guidance in the last 2 NM
- Smart anti-spam logic: no flood of messages for a tiny deviation
- "Easy" when you close in too fast
- "Stop! Up up up" when your hook is dropping onto the load and you are not above it
KEEP YOUR EYES OUTSIDE THE COCKPIT, NOT ON A SCREEN
- Clock-position and distance calls: "Load two o'clock, 80 meters"
- Forward, back, left and right corrections in meters or feet
- Vertical guidance down to "Hold position"
- A live radar view (top-down, nose up) with a vertical gauge
- A satellite map to place your load or landing point anywhere in the world
DESIGNED FOR REAL SIMMERS
- Works with MSFS 2024, MSFS 2020 and X-Plane 12: one product, all your simulators

Atc Scout – Find The Flight Worth Flying
ATC Scout - Find the flight worth flying on VATSIM
Every VATSIM session starts the same way: tabbing between the network map, the events calendar, and a dozen open browser windows, trying to work out where the controllers actually are, whether an event is worth flying, and whether your route will get you real ATC coverage from gate to gate.
ATC Scout does that legwork for you.

Every VATSIM session starts the same way: tabbing between the network map, the events calendar, and a dozen open browser windows, trying to work out where the controllers actually are, whether an event is worth flying, and whether your route will get you real ATC coverage from gate to gate.
ATC Scout does that legwork for you.
Tell it where you're starting from, how much time you've got, and what kind of flight you're after. ATC Scout cross-references live VATSIM traffic, controller coverage, and current events to give you a ranked shortlist of flights that are actually worth flying right now.
What It Does
Live ATC Coverage
Checks departure, enroute, and arrival coverage for every route it suggests - not just whether an airport has a tower online.
Event-Aware
Factors in official VATSIM events, so you can fly into the action or steer clear of the chaos if you'd rather have a quieter session.
Network Activity
Looks at how busy a route or region actually is right now, rather than relying on outdated activity levels.
Matches Your Flight
Set your:
-
Starting area
-
Search radius
-
Time available
-
Flight type
-
Desired experience level
ATC Scout then finds flights that actually fit what you're looking for.
Live Weather
See current METARs for every airport it recommends, so you know what conditions you'll be flying into before you depart.
Built-In Airport & FIR Database
Get the information you need without constantly switching between ATC Scout, charts, databases, and browser tabs.
How It Works
ATC Scout is a lightweight, standalone Windows app designed to work alongside your simulator.
It's completely simulator-agnostic - it doesn't touch your simulator or aircraft. Instead, it answers one simple question:
"Where should I fly tonight?"
Choose your preferences, let ATC Scout analyse the current VATSIM network, and pick a flight from the recommendations.
Works alongside any flight simulator you use for VATSIM.
Stop Searching. Start Flying.
