Real-time flight dashboard for MSFS 2020 — stream telemetry from your simulator to any device on your local network.

SkyBridge connects Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 to a mobile-friendly web dashboard via a local network. A C# mod reads live flight data through SimConnect and streams it over UDP to a Python server, which pushes it to any browser on your LAN in real time via WebSocket.

• Live telemetry — Altitude (MSL/AGL), heading, IAS/TAS/GS/Mach, vertical speed, position, fuel, AOA, G-force, OAT, trim, spoilers
• Engine data — RPM or N1% per engine (up to 8), auto-detects piston / jet / turboprop / helicopter
• Autopilot status — AP on/off, target ALT / IAS / HDG
• Instruments — Attitude indicator (ADI) and heading tape with smooth animation
• Live map — OpenStreetMap with plane marker, follow mode, and airport overlays
• Gear & flaps — position and state
• 9-character access code — encode your local IP + port into a short alphanumeric code to share with any device on the network
• WebSocket push — no polling, data arrives as soon as the sim sends it
• Collapsible cards — clean mobile UI, hide what you don't need

MSFS 2020
  └── SimConnect SDK
        └── SkyBridge.exe  (C# mod)
              └── UDP:5005 ──▶ SkyBridgeServer.exe  (Python + Flask)
                                    └── WebSocket ──▶ Browser (mobile / desktop)

Download SkyBridge_Setup.exe from the releases page and run it. The installer includes both the mod and the server.

On the Windows PC running MSFS 2020:

• MSFS 2020 with Developer Mode enabled (Options → General → Developers)
• MSFS SDK installed (Dev Mode menu → SDK Download)
• .NET 10 Runtime

On any machine for the server (can be the same PC or a Mac/Linux on the same network):

• Python 3.9+

cd server
pip install -r requirements.txt

In mod/src/Program.cs, set the IP of the machine running the server:

var udpEndpoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 5005);

.\build.ps1

Start the server (on the host machine):

cd server
python main.py

The terminal will display the ASCII logo, your local IP, and the 9-character access code.

Start the mod (on the Windows PC with MSFS):

SkyBridge.exe

Launch MSFS 2020, load a flight — data will start streaming immediately.

Access the dashboard from any device on the same network:

Use the portal to enter the 9-character code:

http://<server-ip>:5000/

python tools/mock_sim.py

Sends simulated flight data to the server so you can develop and test the dashboard without launching the simulator.

SkyBridge encodes your server's local IP and port into a 9-character alphanumeric code using base62.

192.168.1.42:5000  →  HddRxl9Y0

Share this code with anyone on your local network. They enter it at / (the portal page) and get redirected straight to your dashboard — no need to know your IP.
