It's free to try so you've got nothing to lose but a bit of set up time. Is ForeFlight better? Yes - if I resume RW flying in the future I absolutely will pop for a US subscription, but for simming the differences aren't even close to being big enough to justify the expense for me. I moved to FltPlan Go and haven't looked back. The $99 price doesn't get you Canada, or geo-referenced charts so it gets expensive fast if you want those things. I used ForeFlight for several years, but as I'm not actively flying IRL these days it became awfully hard to justify the cost. Still going strong Scott, despite the buyout from Garmin. Take a look at “FltPlan GO” - Garmin bought them about a year ago - so I don’t know if it’s still available. It also supported Apple, Android, and WIndows tablets. While I haven’t checked since Garmin bought - had a fine EFB that worked very well with P3D, XP, FSX and is absolutely free - it was the ONLY free source of georeferenced approach plates and taxi diagrams that we’ve ever had.
I’ve found that sometimes the iPad sometimes very briefly loses its WiFi connection and a line goes straight from my sim position to my physical position at home. If you want to use the “breadcrumbs” feature, make sure to turn off location services for ForeFlight in your iPad settings as FSXFlight takes care of that. I set ForeFlight up with FSX Steam about 2 1/2 years ago and still use FSXFlight with P3Dv4 to connect the sim with ForeFlight. I would highly recommend it.I have a lot of fun using it to land at ORBX’s KTEX when the weather isn’t quite perfect in the winter. I have since moved to the Performance Plus subscription but I believe that at one time, you could add synthetic vision to the base plan.
I run ForeFlight on an iPad mounted to my yoke and it’s been one of my favorite purchases for my sim set up to-date it adds realism and brings some cool features to the table. I agree with Rob’s list of pros/cons. It is certainly not cheap but well worth it in my opinion. If you ever watch any of "Steveo1kinevo" videos, he uses ForeFlight regularly.Īs far as discounts, they do offer renewal discounts (think yearly is was $83 or something like that). it obviously does work with real world aircraft traffic with a transmitter/receiver (ADS-B) unit but that means one needs to be flying real world aircraft. Not ability to detect "simulated" AI aircraft, I've requested this option but not a high priority for the development group .

Provides real world weather which is very accurate and if used with a nice simulator weather engine can provide a very "realistic" experience. BUT it does work with XP11, P3D3, and AF2 and if I were to hazard a wild guess it will work with MSFS since the transmission of GPS data is a fairly simple feature in most simulators.Ĭan be used with XP11, AF2, P3D and is VERY simple to setup/connect (just have sim enable GPS transmission)
Agree that ForeFlight is expensive, even the cheapest subscription is $100/yr and can go up to $1000/yr if you want ALL US/Canada and EU options.
