I actually have a small tools which extracts data sets from Aerofly to use in other tools. One of the data sets contains all liveries for all aircraft - an amazing amount.
Do you intend to make it available for mobile?
Theoretically the Missionsgerät also works on mobile. What I do not know is if and how the mobile version of Aerofly FS allows for actually loading the custom missions file.
For the desktop version there is a directory where the file needs to be put. Possibly some helpful mobile user can try to find out if this also works on mobile, or a member of IPACS could tell us? I would be happy to extend the documentation in this regard.
Since March 2025 the Missionsgerät has collected some insightful data about its usage. Of all browsers which did not block the small statistic tool, here's what happened:
Since March 2025 there have been 612 imports and 557 exports.
The majority of imports were from SimBrief, using the PLN export of SimBrief as well as the API.
The majority of exports were Aerofly Custom Mission Files, but there were also some PLN and FMS file exports.
fyWeather was most often not added using the integrated METAR service - but using the SimBrief API almost in all cases weather has been imported.
Most origins and destinations had the ICAO code "RJ.." (121) being Japan, followed by "EG.." (75) being Great Britain and "ED.." (57) being Germany.
For aircraft, airliners were dominating:
...with lots of more aircraft being in use, even the Jungmeister bi-plane.
Since tracking if an export was supposed to have guides or not, 50% of the flights had the visible virtual guides removed.
In the last two months there has been a steep incline of usage. If cannot tell if this means more missions per user or more users in general (the tool complies with European GDPR regulations, so it does not track users), but generally it seems like there is a growing demand, centered on SimBrief flight plans for airliners.
So I am quite happy to provide the Missionsgerät for the community. Hopefully we will see more flight plans tools providing native Aerofly export, or Aerofly providing an integrated import.
Cheers, and a good 2026 to all of us.
Oh no, sorry to hear that. As my PC is stowed away currently (and for the next few weeks until I have moved) I couldn't make it.
But we should keep up the spirit and should have fly-outs on special occasions.
Great work. Really, really great idea.
And I am glad to help. I will check if the flight plan is written to the main.mcf before starting the actual flying. If this is the case, I could build a small python library to import the flight plan... or have AI transform my usual stuff from TypeScript to Python. 
Will the flight plan also be shared?
And I absolutely love your ideas for future plans.
Yep, that works, after one of the latest updates - I remember flying the MB339 mission with the arrows at 2000ft some time ago. Now it's low level
Thanks Jan, and happy holidays
borisvp Out of curiosity: if the flights are exported by the Missionsgerät, do you need to adjust the altitude settings in the missions file? Or does it work out of the box?
Wow, this looks great. As soon as I come out of my rabbit hole (did not even find time to appreciate the recent update, let alone have any flying time for the last few weeks) I will definitely check this out.
Sorry for being out of sync. Next year will be full steam again.
By the way: I like the multiplayer part, especially the URL. 
Actually GitHub can host static pages from a GitHub repository for free. This could allow for community-curated static sites; adding new files could be done by Pull Requests.
Actually this is the way how the Missionsgerät is hosted.
Almost all of my simulators got paid DLCs sooner or later. Most often I acquired new aircraft, whenever I thought there was something unique to be experienced with the new aircraft.
Being a developer myself I firmly believe that good work should be paid.
I also liked DLCs I bought on Steam, because the DLC could be updated and redownloaded without any bigger complications or instructions.
ApfelFlieger is it possible to get your list again, this time with the additional airport names? I could start to add the codes to ourairports.com, to improve the map.
Currently I am using the file size of the airport description file as a help which airport might be handmade. The bolder the colour, the more file size the airport description file has.
As long as I do not decompile the airport files, this is all I can do.
ApfelFlieger From the original Aerofly airports I use the filenames as reference, so I also use the "pseudo" codes.
Then I try to match against multiple fields from ourairports.com - they know about ICAO codes, local and historical codes as well as codes users supplied as keywords. So I would say: Give me everything the ACT has, I just see what my tool can do with ouraiports.com data.
On a side note: there are lots of beautiful airports in your data. Great work!

Hm, ist there some way to get from the codes supplied by you to one or another field in ourairports.com? I added some codes I could identify to the keywords in our airports.com, so my tool can find these.
Actually I just need the codes. Apfelfliegers cdes worked really well, but for some missing codes:

The map has been updated.
Moin Frank,
Thanks for the info - but honestly I feel overwhelmed with it at the moment
(my head is at the C130
).
I can display up to 500 airports on one page in the AirportCreationTool. In order to ensure data protection, it is only about the export of the two columns "ICAO" and "Name" from airports reported as "Finished". Isn't there a way?
Possibly you can select and copy the table data in your browser and paste it into a spreadsheet program like Excel or Google Sheets, and remove the extra columns?
Hm, I wish I had access to the airport creator. Possibly there is an API call to get all the airport codes.
If I have the raw data I will paste it into the repository for you.
Tomfa / ApfelFlieger : I added a new file to the data repository, which will hold the community airports.
There is also a small guide on how to add more airports to this file - for the initial batch I will happily add them myself if a list of airports is provided to me. Compilation of all the files for the map is than done by me.
The final result has the custom airports show up a little orange airfield - if there is already a regular airport present this will take precedence in order to show the minimal configuration of Aerofly FS 4.
I like the idea best to automate the imports for airports. Manually copying the files will get quite tedious. Some source being readable via HTTP would be great, be it a TXT, CSV, XML or JSON file.
Or do you guys use Github, ApfelFlieger / Tomfa ? I could build a file in the Github repository of the map tool, so you can edit this.
In this file it needs nothing more but the ICAO codes, so Tomfa 's file is right on the mark (I would check every line for beginning with four uppercase characters and/or digits, interpreting these as ICAO codes). My tool looks up airports on https://ourairports.com/ (currently has a certificate problem, but otherwise a brilliant service). For airports without proper ICAO codes I sneaked their Aerofly code into the ourairports database, as long as they are historic or local codes.
On a side note: Did some minor improvements on the map, it also searches for airport names.
Would it be possible to add airfields created using the "Aerofly
As long as there is a data source with all ICAO codes, I can do the conversion.
Jugac64 Well, I changed the airport search to contain a global map anyhow.
Hi Armitage , how can we make a list of the sim’s included USA airports? Thanks!
I would like to recommend the map of the Missionsgerät, as the colours show the file size of the airport definition file - which may be an indicator for the level of detail found on that airport.
Otherwise there is the airport code finder, but this is limited to checking if the airport exists, but has no information about the airport detail.
Aerofly FS Airport Code Validator
There is also a data list with all airport codes:
https://fboes.github.io/aerofly-data/data/airport-list.json
Jugac64 What do you have in mind? I could improve the airport search (searching by name and code, showing name, code and file size).
