The FSWidgets EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) offers an adaptable and integrated solution for flight simulation enthusiasts, leveraging Dropbox for seamless content synchronization across MSFS, FSX, FS9, X-Plane, and Aerofly FS 2 platforms. Its configurable structure allows users to tailor their cockpit experience by adding or removing approach plates, charts, manuals, flight plans, and weather images within designated Dropbox folders on Mac or Windows systems. Following setup instructions detailed in the in-app Help section ensures immediate mirroring of these materials on the device, effectively supporting a bring-your-own-content approach.

The application enables local storage of charts and manuals to enhance loading efficiency and reduce bandwidth consumption, with options to clear cached files and update them with newer versions. The WX Images page aggregates radar and weather-related visuals from online sources, maintaining a history of the six most recent images for quick review via thumbnail previews. Additionally, a pre-configured default WX Links file—editable with the included free utility—facilitates customization of weather imagery links stored in Dropbox.

Included is a moving map feature supporting flight plan display, compatible with native files from MSFS, FSX, FS9, or X-Plane. This feature integrates well with the dedicated iPad app iGMapHD, offering a versatile navigation aid. The map supports direct-to functions for nearest airports and interactive waypoint data retrieval, enhancing situational awareness during simulation sessions.

Key features include:

  • Dropbox-based content synchronization for charts, manuals, and flight plans. Supported formats include PDF, PNG, JPEG for visuals; PDF, Pages, Numbers, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, RTF, and TXT for documents.
  • Weather imagery display featuring real-time online radar and satellite images.
  • A free utility tool compatible with Windows and Mac to add or modify weather links.
  • A comprehensive moving map supporting multiple flight simulator platforms with support for cloud-based aero charts and navigation data—demo files included—and a direct-to nearest airport function.
  • Ability to tap on waypoints to reveal detailed coordinate data.
  • Connectivity to simulator sessions via FSWidgets Network Pack.
  • Map visualization powered by the Leaflet API built upon OpenStreetMap and custom data sources.
  • Optional connection management allowing control over simulator integration.

System requirements include an iPad running iOS 11.0 or later, access to the corresponding flight simulation platform via a compatible version (MSFS, FSX, FS9, X-Plane, or Aerofly FS 2), and Dropbox installation on the host computer. A stable Wi-Fi network within the same local environment is necessary for content synchronization and map data downloads. Internet access is essential for live map updates and feature operation.

FSWidgets is an Australian-based firm with extensive experience developing award-winning add-ons for Flight Simulator series and X-Plane. Its team has contributed significantly to the flight simulation community over more than a decade.
