fs2ff VS Flight-Tracker-StreamDeck

For a sim, I prefer MSF2020 because of the real world scenery. As a VFR pilot, I can fly at my local airport and see the same home depot building where I make my base turn in real life. I have a a high end system (5900X, KP 3090) and use a Reverb G2. You can also hook in Garmin Pilot or Foreflight into either sim and use it as you would in the plane: https://github.com/astenlund/fs2ff/releases/tag/v0.1.13. While the sim helps in some areas can hurt a little in others. I had reinforced some bad habits by sim flying that I'm still trying to break in real flying.

Foreflight is easy to get working. There are a couple options but I use this one because it also shows the sim traffic: https://github.com/astenlund/fs2ff

ForeFlight, connected to FS2020 via https://github.com/astenlund/fs2ff

I use Airmatre connected via FS2FF

FYI out of all of the apps I tried FS2FF works (https://github.com/astenlund/fs2ff). Strange that it (Garmin Pilot) likes some and not others.

You can do that with MSFS 2020 as well you just need to run another app on the side. I use fs2ff

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.
