FSTrAk is a modern flight tracker and logbook for MSFS.

FSTtAk aims to be a no-frills, install-and-let-it-run experience - as it requires no manual intervention. FSTrAk monitors your simulator silently and will detect when a flight is started, track it on a map, and persist it to a local database when it is complete.

FSTRaK Desktop App

Download the latest release zip from flightsim.to or GitHub Releases.

Run the installer included in the zip. FSTRaK installs to %LocalAppData%\Programs\FSTRaK by default.

Launch FSTRaK. It will connect to MSFS automatically when the simulator is running — no configuration needed.

MSFS In-Sim Moving Map Panel and EFB app (optional)

Adds a moving map toolbar panel and an EFB app inside MSFS 2024 that mirrors your FSTRaK map, shows live ATC coverage, and tracks your aircraft position.

Locate the addon folders in the zip. They are named fstrak-ingame-panel and fstrak-efb-app, and sit alongside the FSTRaK installer.

Copy both or one of them into your MSFS 2024 Community folder:

• Microsoft Store / Xbox App: %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
• Steam: %AppData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community

Restart MSFS 2024. The FSTRaK Moving Map icon will appear in the in-sim toolbar.

Start FSTRaK on the same PC before launching the panel. The panel displays a "FSTRaK is not running" message if FSTRaK is not reachable.

FSTrAk saves the data as an sqlite database called FSTrAk.db at your %appdata% folder (usually C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\FSTRaK).
You can backup this file. Although upgrading and uninstalling does not delete this folder, I recommend backing up the file from time to time.

• Automatic silent start-up
• Automatic flight tracking (hands-free experience)
• Option (default) to save only complete flights - i.e. flight ended in parking states, with engines off and parking breaks, after having flown
• Different map providers:
• OpenStreetMap
• OpenTopoMap
• Azure Maps
• FAA/DFS/Israel AIP charts
• TopPlus Open (BFK)
• Live flight tracking with a moving map
• Display VATSIM and IVAO pilots and ATC
• Statistics (most used aircraft, most used airlines, average and max payload, distance, etc.)
• Dark Mode
  

Some maps and features require setting up API keys with specific vendors for full functionality. See the project's page at https://github.com/o4oren/FSTRaK and give us some stars!

Roadmap

• Simbrief integration (fetch passengers, planned vs actual fuel and time, planned vs actual route)
• More statistics
• More Maps
• Display bearing/distance to a designated point on the map
