Hi, I never did a proper post for the first app I built for AFS4, and since now I updated it, it is time to do it so we can discuss and announce new features here.
This is an open-source Python app, real-time aircraft tracker for Aerofly FS4 flight simulator, to visualize your aircraft position on an interactive map with detailed flight information. It uses the UDP stream so in theory it could work in Mac and Linux, but I have only tested it in Windows.
Features
- Real-time UDP data reception from Aerofly FS4
- Interactive map displaying aircraft position
- Live flight information: latitude, longitude, altitude, ground speed, heading, pitch, and roll
- Multiple map styles: OpenStreetMap, Google Maps (Normal, Satellite, Terrain, Hybrid), ESRI, CartoDB, and more
- Real-time updates of aircraft position and orientation
- User-friendly GUI built with Tkinter
- Connection status indicator to know when receiving simulator data
- Rotating aircraft icon reflecting actual heading
- Unit Conversion System: Toggle between Imperial and Metric units with one click
- Flight Path Display: Visual trail showing your complete flight route on the map
- Flight Statistics Panel: Track distance traveled, flight time, average/max speed, max altitude, and more
- Auto-Center Toggle: Disable auto-centering to freely explore the map while tracking continues
- Manual Re-center: Quick button to snap back to aircraft position
- Clear Path: Reset flight trail with one click
- Reset Statistics: Start a fresh statistics session anytime
You can get the Python app here, soon I will create and EXE for Windows:
