Now available in Stream Deck store!
We have started a discussion thread in GitHub to share pre-built profiles https://github.com/nguyenquyhy/Flight-Tracker-StreamDeck/discussions/128. Everyone is welcome to post their creation!
This is a plugin for Elgato Stream Deck that provides you with buttons to interface with Microsoft Flight Simulator via SimConnect. There are some preset buttons allowing you to simply drag & drop and choose the required function. There are also generic buttons and gauges allowing you to access a wide selection of SimConnect variables and events.
The buttons from this plugin have several benefits comparing to buttons with key bindings:
- The buttons do not emulate keypress, so you don’t have to worry about matching keyboard binding in-game. You don’t have to worry about other software happen to mistakenly take those keys in either.
- The buttons interact with the sim directly via SimConnect, so the sim does not have to be in focus. You can be reading chart (or any other software), and all buttons will still works.
- It can show a lot of information from the sim.
- The buttons can perform some more “advanced” interactions than normal Stream Deck buttons. For examples.
- Holding COM/NAV button shows you a numpad to enter frequency (not available on Stream Deck Mini due to limited buttons).
- Holding HDG button sync current heading.
- Tapping +/- button increase/decrease 1 unit while holding does so at 10 units.
Installation from Stream Deck store (with auto update)
- Click More Actions button in the bottom right corner of Stream Deck software
- Search for Flight Tracker & click Install
- Accept the prompt to install the plugin and the profiles. The profile is a special numpad, allowing you to enter COM/NAV frequency and transponder code.
- You should now see Flight Tracker group in your list of buttons.
Manual Installation
- Download latest version and unzip
- Double click the file tech.flighttracker.streamdeck.streamDeckPlugin to install
- If you manually created the folder tech.flighttracker.streamdeck.sdPlugin previously in %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins, you will see an error saying "This custom action is already installed." In this case you will need to manually remove that folder before trying again.
- Accept the prompt to install the plugin and the profiles. The profile is a special numpad, allowing you to enter COM/NAV frequency and transponder code.
- You should now see Flight Tracker group in your list of buttons.

I'm looking for the Win10 path for the profiles folder. I would like to copy my profile to another computer. Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks.
nguyenquyhy 4 day(s) ago
Profiles are in `%appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\ProfilesV2`, but I don't think you can just copy and paste to another PC. I would suggest trying export/import feature from the Stream Deck software instead.

Is it possible to display the percentage of Propeller RPM and Mixture?
I am lost and I do not know if I am doing something wrong or maybe it is not possible.
I would be very grateful for your reply
nguyenquyhy 8 day(s) ago
For engine RPM, you can use `GENERAL ENG PCT MAX RPM:index`. For prop RPM, there seems to be `PROP MAX RPM PERCENT:index` but I have not added that into the plugin yet. I will test that out and add to the next release should it work.

Thank you for your response. Good job 😊

I dreamed of it, you made it!

Great plugin 😊 but is there any way we can set simulation data variables in addition to sending simulation events ? You allow us to read and display simulation data but don't seem to be able to set simulation data, only send events
nguyenquyhy 19 day(s) ago
Yes there is no generic way to set simulation data at the moment. Some preset buttons already do so, but it is a bit tricky to make it generic

Can someone walk me through how to add Lnav and Vnav for the 747/787?

Ending Stream Deck from taskmanager and restarting seems to fix it until it happens again.

Udated now manually and it works 😊

I just installed the profile into STream deck (downloading within Streamdeck), but now I can not change anything in this profile. Why is this?
nguyenquyhy 3 month(s) ago
joeljodel 3 month(s) ago
Great work but I have the same problem than Abzero.
I installed Flight Tracker and KobiFlightConnector 8.0.2.6 and everything worked well. Problem appeared when I restart my computer, it is not possible to modify or display keys related to flightTracker neither related to Mobiflight in stream deck software.
As soon as I click on these keys nothing happened and Stream deck crash!
If I click on keys related to stream deck function it is OK.
I try to reinstall all the applications but I have the same issue.
Remark when I reinstalled streamdeck software ''flight tracker'' already installed and not possible to unstall it at each time.
Please help as I was so happy when it works it is so wonderfull.

When will you give it a connection with your Flight Recorder ?
nguyenquyhy 3 month(s) ago
popele3 3 month(s) ago
We only need six functions: Start/Stop recording and the four replay ones. Others are not in-flight functions and can be used by clicking the buttons. (Could be improved later).
Keep it simple, basic and efficient like Flight Recorder is.
No need for a powerplant making all including coffee ! I bought the Italian app two days before you release Flight Recorder, and I didn't use it after, cause I don't even understand how it works (and don't want to try).

How can I assign lights? (Beacon/Strobe/etc.)?
Is it possible to upload a profile? That we can import it ?
Thx

It is a bit all over the places at the moment, so I am thinking of building a small page to collect all those profiles from our contributors for easier access.

Overall it has been going quite well, and most of it is now done. I do have a few odd Simconnect issues that have me stumped - which I may ask about some time - but my biggest problem by far is with the G1000 Audio Panel. I had no issues setting up the PFD and MFD (including the the soft key menus, knobs and joysticks), being able to use all of the Mobiflight commands to get pretty much everything fully operational. The Audio Panel however is a different story. Not one of the buttons will work. There are no Mobiflight threads about any issues (and all of the toggle values are in the Mobiflight file in my Community folder - because I checked. Also, when I checked MSFS 2020 for the operations of the keys in question (in developer mode), all of the variables seemed correct too.
I can't really see why it would be a Flight Tracker issue, but I can't think what else the problem could be. Have you heard from anyone else with any issues? Do you have any ideas?
Thanks

Then set a suitable on image and a suitable off image and away you go.

Nguyenquyhy Great work 😊
I have made 2 Generic Toggle Button's for the engine start on the A320 with the 'TOGGLE_FUEL_VALVE_ENG1' and 'TOGGLE_FUEL_VALVE_ENG2' but can't find the feedback value for that, so i can se on the stream deck that it is on, and that the images changes.
I know i can hear the engine spin up, but it could be nice to se it as on, on the stream deck!
Edit:
I have tried the 'GENERAL_ENG_FUEL_VALVE__1' but that dont work 😞
