About

This section collects freeware application add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, developed by community creators from around the world. Applications extend the simulator experience beyond what is available in-sim — ranging from desktop companions, add-on managers, and flight tracking tools to ATC audio enhancers, landing analysers, moving map displays, virtual crew systems, and AI-powered training assistants. Well-known examples include MSFS Addons Linker for Community folder management, Auto FPS for dynamic performance optimisation, Toolbar Pushback for realistic ground handling, and LiveCrew for immersive copilot callouts and cabin announcements. Other tools cover niche but valuable functions such as CPDLC clients for VATSIM, soaring task managers, texture converters for livery creators, and MobiFlight integration for cockpit hardware. Whether you are looking to streamline your workflow, deepen your immersion, or solve a specific technical challenge, this growing library of community applications offers a wide range of solutions at no cost.
