Glasscockpit To Sim

A flight deck interface inspired by the Garmin G1000, designed to connect with Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3D, and X-Plane.(with some limitations).

Instruments can be adjusted with simple touch gestures, featuring smooth, fluid animations for a realistic experience. By offloading the instruments to your tablet, you can remove the on-screen cockpit and enjoy a full, unobstructed view of the scenery.

Extra applications required

Note: This is not a standalone app. It functions as an external instrument panel and requires a connection to a flight simulator (MSFS, P3D, or X-Plane) via WiFi to function. Part of its behavior can be tested with the generation of random data that the application incorporates, by clicking on the icon that appears while waiting for the data.

FSUIPC and PeixConnect (free applications) must be installed on the simulator computer for use with FSX/P3D, which they make interface between computer and Android devices.

Click next links for detailed steps and required downloads:
Use with Microsoft Flight Simulator or Prepar3D
Use with X-Plane 10
Use with X-Plane 11 or 12

Trial mode / Full version

The trial version is fully functional for sessions of 20+ minutes, giving you a comprehensive hands-on experience before you decide to purchase the full license. After the trial period ends, a purchase option will appear to unlock the unlimited version. The app can be purchased at any time using the options menu.

⚠️ Compatibility Notice: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Anomalous behavior and inconsistent data delivery have been detected originating from MSFS2024. These errors in the data output via FSUIPC affect the application’s accuracy and may cause interface malfunctions.

Please be advised that these issues are internal bugs within the Asobo/Microsoft platform. Until official updates are released to correct how this data is transmitted, my ability to resolve them is limited. Currently, I can only implement temporary “workarounds” that do not guarantee a definitive solution.

Critical issues detected in MSFS2024:

  • Main Electrical Bus: In the new 2024 models, the simulator constantly reports 0 volts. This issue causes the displays to remain dark, as the app fails to detect system voltage from the simulator.
    • Starting with version GlassCockpit to Sim 3.2.1, a patch has been applied to force the display to power on even when there is no bus voltage..
  • Alternators/Generators: The data stream permanently indicates that the generator is inactive, regardless of its actual state in the cockpit.
  • Landing Gear Status: The simulator has been found to send a “gear lever up” signal even in aircraft equipped with fixed landing gear.
  • For floatplanes, the system does not report the landing gear in transit. As a result, the indicator lights toggle rapidly between retracted and deployed states.
  • Fuel tanks are inconsistent, and the fuel valves and selectors are inaccessible: On single-tank aircraft, it’s now sending the data as the Left Tank instead of Centre Tank as always. For multi-tank or multi-engine planes with crossfeed, it’s no longer possible to track the selector position.

Disclaimer:

  • While this flight deck is inspired by the Garmin G1000, it is not an exact replica. It provides core functionalities and additional data displays tailored for flight simulation. Please note that certain menus, behaviors, or advanced functions may differ from or may not be implemented as in the original hardware.
