VA Systems, a developer specializing in providing real airline data to virtual airlines, has taken to the stage at FSExpo 2025 to announce some new additions to its “Panel” EFB and a new hardware product from its sister company, VA Hardware.
VA Systems Panel
VA Systems’ Panel is an EFB app for MSFS that is used to access VA Systems’ information from within the simulator. Currently, it has two apps, Missions and Activities. It is available for free on VA Systems’ website or on the MSFS marketplace for $4.99. Marketplace buyers are able to get a £5 GBP discount on VA Systems’ website to offset the cost of the Marketplace purchase.
The activities app features seasonal data for the airline schedules, flight briefing data, flight plan waypoints, and departure and arrival times for the current flight. This app has data for 60 airlines and 40 airports, with 40 more airports coming soon. SimBrief integration for the dispatch and data streaming will be coming soon, which will include data for all airlines and airports with the most recent schedules. The pricing for the data streaming is still to be announced.
VA Hardware Mini Flight Data Display
VA Systems is launching a sister company focused on hardware, named VA Hardware. Its first product, the Mini Flight Data Display, is a small screen that shows information about a chosen real-world flight. It will show the progress, origin time, altitude, heading, speed, and more for the flight. The information widgets will be customizable, so the information shown on the screen can be changed.
The Mini Flight Data Display will be priced at £169.99 GBP, and will be available for pre-order at 10% off until June 30th and 5% off afterwards until the official launch. The streaming of data for this product has an associated cost, and in order to avoid subscriptions, VA Hardware has decided to use a credits system. This system has users purchasing a set amount of credits, which are consumed as a flight is tracked.
