SimToolkitPro - a free EFB for Flight Simulator with SimBrief suport

It feels strange to use SimToolkitPro for MSFS (Flight Simulator). Not in a bad way, mind you, but because you can’t help but wonder why it’s free. It’s so good, so comprehensive, and it looks so polished that it feels like you should be paying for it. An all-in-tool tool to plan your flights, get live ATC information and traffic, logbook, landing analysis, charts… and the list goes on and on. For free! This thing is a gem.

What started in early 2019 as a small project to get better data about landings, quickly went on to become a comprehensive tool that anyone should at least consider. It supports many platforms and simulators and was on the forefront of new addons for Flight Simulator 2020.

SimToolkitPro allows you to plan your flights through SimBrief, so you get all the bells and whistles that come with that. Complete control of your routes from departure to destination, with specific cruise data, aircraft weights, passenger counts, and more.

Besides, you also get access to a real-time map that shows online ATC coverage from all major networks like VATSIM and IVAO, with access to many information from each one. And you can even fly a route from one of your favorite airlines.

But there’s more, like a detailed logbook and a landing performance tracker, so you can get a better sense of your flights and learn with all the new data.

The feature list is long, and a testament to how complete this incredible free tool already is. Check the full list below and don’t forget to give it a try!
