Plan To Route Utility V1.0

This utility converts XML flight plans (.pln) into the .rt2 format used by add-on FMC routes, including PMDG. It only processes XML-pln inputs, creates an .ini file after the first conversion to store folders, and the resulting files may lack runway data or some airways, prompting DIRECT routing in the FMC.

Banking Camera V1.0

Automatic camera banking engages as the aircraft banks, letting the pilot look ahead without manual panning and maintaining a natural, balanced perspective with coordinated roll. The behavior mirrors head tracking without hardware, by Justin Probert.

Living World

Living World v1.1 functions as an animation tool that leverages Animal and GroundVehicle SimObjects and, via the SimConnect SDK, follows a predefined list of lat/long points in LivingWorld.cfg. LivingWorld.exe is built with Visual Studio Express 2005, using a sample C++ AI Objects and waypoints file as a template, authored by Ron Haertel.

Yet Another Google Earth Tool

Version 0.93, branded as YAGET, functions as a data interface that links flight data to an external globe-viewing workflow. It saves either a single position or an entire flight path for visualization and can follow the current position in real time, by ROTW.

Flight Simulation Addon Tracker Utility

By Tobias Wagner, this tool maintains a list of favorite airports and exports the data as a .kml file with folders by country. Users add airports by ICAO using New and Autofill, or manually input decimal latitude/longitude when data is unavailable; it links to Sam High's FSXDB for extra airport information.

Yet Another Google Earth Tracking Tool V0.94

YAGET_X_vn.n.exe writes either a single position or a complete path to KML files, such as test_earth_link.kml and test_path.kml, with each leg roughly 1 NM, and can follow the current position in track mode via a direct link to the active session. 0.94 updates align with the May 24, 2007 release or later.

AI Carriers (SP1/Acc)

Lamont Clark's AI Carriers lets you place and command single ships or fleets within the sim, with cable and catapult-enabled carriers and the option to insert at the current location or a set distance ahead. Requires Java JRE 1.5+, SP1, and includes five island-ID markings on CVN variants with hard-deck models.

fsxlogbook Utility

This standalone utility reads logbook.bin without editing it, showing planes used, airports visited, and takeoffs and landings, plus flight time per aircraft type. Export to CSV or clipboard uses comma or semicolon delimiters, and it stores the logbook path in My Documents\Flight Simulator Files or Mes Documents\Fichiers Flight Simulator as a simple executable.

Object Placement

Object placement fills areas with items from the simobjects folder, including static aircraft, boats, vehicles, and animals, in a five-minute demo session. Operators select a type, choose an object from a list, enter a heading, and place it; you place add-ons by typing exact title from the object configuration, such as Beach Baron 58 Paint1.

FSXPilot Software

FSXPilot functions as a session-limited shareware with 30 activations, while navigation, EFIS, and autopilot functions remain usable, and it accepts second-party FSP flight plans. The program runs as a standalone app before or during host operation and can be started from a computer over a network; some menus activate only when the host starts.

Utility--Auththumbnail

The utility automatically captures a dynamic screenshot of the currently loaded aircraft and generates the corresponding thumbnail for the select aircraft menu. It saves the final image directly into the simulator’s aircraft directory, runs in the background with minimal resource use, and the original developer releases it into the public domain.

Yet Another Moving Map V2.0

Operating as a LAN-ready tool, it connects a moving map to the program using an included SimConnect.dll and supports JPG maps only. It offers an on-the-fly position fix for non-orthogonal maps and a tracking display for up to 20 AI aircraft, with server and client executables such as YAMM_server_v-2.0.exe and YAMM_client_v-2.0.exe, by Laurent Claude.

Utility--FS9toFSx Migration

The migration utility processes the older version folder and can target several earlier formats. It analyzes aircraft.cfg, .mdl, and .air files to identify required resources, builds a list of references from .mdl data, verifies their presence, and searches for non standard DLLs, by Georges Vinet.
