Flightgear PFD

What if you could carry a fully functional, professional-grade aircraft cockpit in your pocket?

Flightgear PFD transforms your mobile device into a precise Primary Flight Display, directly interfacing with the open-source FlightGear flight simulator on your desktop PC. This is not a simplified game, but a dedicated instrument panel application that streams real-time telemetry, placing critical flight data—from attitude and heading to airspeed and vertical velocity—directly into your hands. It serves as a powerful second-screen experience, allowing you to declutter your main monitor and interact with essential instruments through a tactile, portable touchscreen interface, deepening the immersion of your simulation sessions.

Core Functionality & Integration

The application acts as a networked client, establishing a seamless connection to a running FlightGear instance on your local network. It meticulously renders a standard "glass cockpit" PFD, displaying the fundamental T-style layout with an artificial horizon, flight director, and integrated navigation displays. The system is designed for low-latency performance, ensuring that every control input and aircraft movement is reflected instantaneously across your devices. This setup is ideal for pilots practicing procedures, flight sim enthusiasts building realistic home cockpits, or anyone seeking to manage their simulation environment with greater fidelity and flexibility.

Key Advantages for the Serious Simulator

• Authentic Instrument Replication: Interact with a accurately modeled PFD that displays pitch, roll, heading, altitude, and airspeed with professional symbology.
• Enhanced Simulation Workflow: Use your mobile device as a dedicated instrument panel, freeing up screen real estate on your main PC for external views or other cockpit panels.
• Responsive Touch Interface: Configure and manipulate the display with intuitive touch controls, adjusting barometric pressure, heading bugs, and navigation sources directly.
