Description
PERFLIGHT is a companion app that brings all your pre-flight preparation into one place. Manage your addon library, launch your flight services, sync your SimBrief flight plan, and work through a customizable pre-flight checklist — all before you ever open the simulator.
Flight Services
One-click launchers for Navigraph Hub, Charts, SimBrief, VATSIM, IVAO, PMDG, and more. Add your own custom services — local applications or web URLs — with custom colors and labels.
Addon Library Management
Store addons in your own library folders outside the Community folder. Enable or disable them with a click (creates/removes directory junctions). Browse by category, developer, card view, or table view. Group addons into reusable Sets for quick batch activation. Quickly edit addon metadata and replace thumbnails with custom images.
Pre-Flight Checklist
Build your own step-by-step checklist modeled after real aviation checklists. Six step types: Sync Flight Plan, Launch Service, Open URL, Manual Reminder, Activate Addons, and Launch Simulator. Drag-and-drop to reorder. Steps execute their action when checked — sync your flight plan, launch Navigraph, activate addons, all inline.
Smart Actions
When you sync a SimBrief flight plan, PERFLIGHT detects which aircraft and airport scenery your route needs and prompts you to activate them. One click to enable, or search Flightsim.to, iniBuilds, and Contrail if you're missing something.

Other problem is, even the liveries are showing enabled, it's not showing up inside the simulator. It was working fine on Addon Linker.

I can’t add my VATSIM ID. When I click save and validate, something goes wrong.

- "Aircraft & Liveries" means that if I want to just look at my aircraft, I have to wade through potentially hundreds of liveries. Could these potentially be separated? EDIT: I see it's possible to create custom categories! Nice.
- Bulk editing: I have a TON of stuff from flightsim.to as many do, and having to go into each one of them just to say that's where I got them is tedious. It would be nice to be able to do some kind of bulk edit. EDIT: Added this to the wishlist on featurebase.

Version History
PERFLIGHT v1.3.0 Patch Notes What's New Community Folder Management - PERFLIGHT now scans your MSFS Community folder and shows everything installed there, not just the addons it manages. Directly-installed addons appear right alongside your libraries with a clear badge, so you always know what's system-managed and always active. Works with both Community and Community2024 (MSFS 2024). Edit Community Addons - Addons living in your Community folder can now be fully edited - rename them, set a developer or ICAO, change the category, or add a hero image - and they appear in search, sorting, and grouping just like your managed addons. Other Tools Detected - Junctions created by other tools like GSX and Addon Linker are now recognized and remembered between scans. You get a complete picture of your Community folder without being nagged about links you've already seen. Save Your Own Install Sources - Type a custom addon source once via the "Other" field and it's saved for every addon afterward. No more retyping your favorite store or installer for each addon you tag. What's Fixed Automatic Junction Cleanup - Broken or orphaned links in your Community folder are now removed automatically during a scan. Only the dead link is cleaned up - your actual addon folders are never touched, so nothing of yours is ever at risk. Reinstalled Addon Duplicates - Moving an addon to a different library after it had already gone missing no longer creates a duplicate entry. PERFLIGHT now recognizes the relocated addon and carries your custom name, image, and category across to its new home, instead of leaving a stale ghost behind and a blank new copy. Source Selection No Longer Resets - The installer source you pick now sticks permanently instead of silently reverting to "Unknown" on the next rescan. This affected most of the non-default sources, so any custom or less-common store you chose would quietly lose your selection - now it persists exactly as entered. Duplicate Flight Service Prevention - Selecting a flight service you've already set up from the INIT page no longer adds a second copy of it. The existing one is recognized and the click is simply ignored.
