AirTrack is an application designed to integrate with flight simulators in real time over a local area network, providing remote flight display and control through glass cockpit instruments, as well as control over some of the simulation variables. It replicates instruments and panels found on real planes using devices such as tablets and computers.
With the aid of a plugin in the simulator, flight data is exchanged over the local network and displayed on the Mac, iPad and iPhone apps. Likewise actions on these are propagated back to the simulator and allow for its remote control.

In its present version AirTrack supports both the X-Plane (10, 11, 12, …) for which it was originally developed, and the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Plugins currently exist for X-Plane and MSFS2020. In the future AirTrack may and will quite possibly support other simulators and flight data sources as it has been designed with horizontal expansion in mind. Plugins can be downloaded from:

AirTrack is free to download and comes with a 24 hour trial period in which everything is unlocked and can be used without limits. Users should use this time to install the plugin and make sure that everything works as expected with their selected flight simulator. Once the trial period expires a one time purchase or a subscription is needed to have access to certain panels and resources.
