Paid Version
Publisher Description
Compatible with MSFS (FS2020) too!
FSWidgets EFB is an Electronic Flight Bag powered by Dropbox for use with MSFS, FSX, FS9, X-Plane and Aerofly FS 2.
This app is completely configurable and allows you to add or remove approach plates, charts, manuals, flight plans and weather image links in the Dropbox folder on your Mac or Windows PC. Set up the folders as described on the in-app Help tab and they will be instantly mirrored on your device. Think of it as B.Y.O. content!
You can store copies of your charts and manuals on the device to speed up loading times and save on bandwidth (the default setting). You can also clear the downloaded copies on the device and grab the new versions.
The WX Images page displays radar and other weather related images from the internet and stores a history of the last six images which can be recalled by tapping on the smaller previews. The EFB comes with a default WX Images link file, pre-configured with dozens of sample links. This file can be sent to your Dropbox and edited with our free WX Links Utility, then sent back to the device.
The moving map included in the FSWidgets EFB comes with flight plan display. It supports MSFS, FSX, FS9 or X-Plane native flight plan files and makes a perfect companion for our dedicated moving map app iGMapHD for iPad.
