Description

Hi fellow Aviators,
I'm both happy and relieved to announce the release of MSFS Glass, the evolution of the brilliant MSFS Mobile Companion App - revived and refreshed for MSFS 2024.

MSFS Glass is a tool that allows you to control essential aircraft instruments such as NAV/COM frequencies, autopilot, or lights using almost any mobile device, laptop, or PC. It features a fully-fledged "map experience" to follow and augment your MSFS flights. MSFS Glass is forever free to use and open source.

I've been working on this tool since the beginning of this year, and while it is not yet in a state I'd call ready, I am at a point where I can share it with you. With your feedback, we can improve it together.

Note: Don't download it on your mobile device! Download and run MSFS Glass on your PC where you are running the sim, and then connect to it via an IP address on your other devices' browser.

For more information please visit the GitHub page.

As this is the first release that will be running outside of my environments, I encourage you to report any issues or quirks you experience. I would like to resolve first the core issues that might affect connections towards the Sim, getting and sending data to the Sim and the overall stability of the webserver. Feel free to open issues and discussions on GitHub, leave a comment, or reach out to me directly.

Thank you & happy flying!

Note: Unfortunately, due to the limited SDKs on Xbox, this is working only on the PC version.

Works great with the standard aircrafts! Could you please add the FBWA320?

The application is excellent, I would really like to use it outside the same network where the computer is running MSFS.
Is there any way to access the page from outside the same network?
It would be great, for example, to be able to track the flight while I'm away from home.

Hi you can do that. I do it by having a VPN in my router. Most modern routers supports secure VPN. So i connect home and I can track my flight and change course using autopilot settings!

Works great in MSDS2024, thanks a lot!
pro: no performance impact on FPS
con: time lag, caused by web based communication with flight sim
Suggested Improvement: show basic flight instruments (speed , alt, vertical speed...)

How do you set up the ini file for a MSFS 2020 Steam installation?

Works fantastically. A great tool — a must‑have for every flight simmer!

Works for me with MSFS2020 after adjusting the path in the ini file.

No with with any integrity would ever pay for 2024, so you can drop the sales pitch.

10/10 first time using it and im in love! Great bit of gear to help improve the immersion. not really sure how i functioned before i found this haha. definitely worth getting if you have got an old tablet laying around.

This looks fantastic. I’m desperately looking for a cheap way to change radio and nav frequencies while flying in a way that doesn’t involve endless mouse wheel scrolling. Will this work with the Fenix a320 at all?

OMG just discovered this.
in the 30 seconds I tried it, and I fell in love,
I have two or three spare old iPad laying around, this will be used to reuse those devices vs throwing them out or collecting dust.
i can now resign some buttons on my HOTAS like AP master on/off.

Wonderful app, and with a bunch of possibilities. May I add some suggestions?
- Rotating the map is nice, but I would add a couple of options for HDG UP / NORTH UP
- Would it be difficult to plot the FIR areas overlapped to the maps?
Great job!
