EYEVIONICS team has released their “External Flight Control System” for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This allows you to control features like autopilot control, radio tuning and navigation, or engine information with a touch from your desired external device.
What does EYEVIONICS do?
Imagine controlling your aircraft’s movements and controls without needing to move your mouse, just with a touch from your Android or iOS device. EYEVIONICS makes this possible, offering additional features like a 2D map and traffic display for a more immersive and convenient flight simulation experience.
Installation Process
To start using the add-on, you only need to buy it for your computer. The mobile app can be accessed and downloaded from their website for free. Once installed, the sim and app will automatically connect—if not, you can easily enter a code for manual pairing. If you want to connect another tablet for something else, it is fine; dual tablet usage is supported.
