Flight-Tracker-StreamDeck VS MSFS2020-PilotPathRecorder

https://flightsim.to/file/3178/flight-tracker-streamdeck-plugin plugin is great and allows you to control default values like radio and sqk through a numpad, as well as displaying and controlling simvars like throttle position, throttle outputs and other switches. These would control most things on most planes that uses default variables, but not planes with custom variables like fenix. Controlling fenix requires another plugin on top of that.

I used this plugin. Then I download a profile for aircraft I fly most. https://flightsim.to/file/3178/flight-tracker-streamdeck-plugin

And some day you'll decide you want TrackId, a StreamDeck, buton boxes... Here, i'll give you a teaser to stir the pot.

Is using something like https://github.com/nguyenquyhy/Flight-Tracker-StreamDeck to read icon states or just ingame keyboard shortcuts?

This guy is doing great work.

For example: I am playing MS Flight Simulator on Shadow, and have installed this StreamDeck plugin to see real-time stats (ex: FPS) of my game. However, the Stream Deck's indicators will lag by 30-60 secs or more.

There are many ways to approach the planning and recording your progress, but I will advocate for simplicity here. Google Earth is free and widely used app. The reason I use it for planning is because you can examine the terrain in 3D and determine if it will be interesting enough to fly over. But it also becomes a great visual record of the trip once you use a simple app like PilotPathRecorder that is a freeware and it will generate a Path that can be easily imported into Google Earth as KML file.

This was the track of my attempt in MSFS 2020 to land a Cessna 172 at KIAD 1R using the localizer with DoNotBeOnFire's fog preset active. I tracked the approach using Pilot Path Recorder, then recorded the track in Google Earth using OBS.

I recently completed a scenic tour of the US in the DC Designs F-15. I designed the route around national parks, major US cities, and places I've been before. The speed of this plane enabled me to cover hundreds of miles in 30-60 minute flights, and finish the trip in a reasonable amount of time. The flights were recorded with pilot path recorder and imported into Google Earth. VFRmap was also used for navigation. I took close to 500 screenshots from the trip, but narrowed it down to a few below.
