My FS Flights

My FS Flights is a cloud-based flight tracking and analysis platform that automatically records flights, generates detailed reports, and provides AI-enhanced landing feedback. The companion app is Windows-only — Linux users need a Windows VM (KVM/QEMU) to run it alongside X-Plane on the host.

Background

  • Developer: Agile Software Management Limited (York, UK)
  • Website: myfs.flights
  • Platforms: Windows 10+ only (Microsoft Store or direct download)
  • Compatibility: X-Plane 11/12, MSFS 2020/2024, Prepar3D v4–v6

Features

  • Automatic flight recording: Starts when engines run, stops at shutdown — no pre-flight setup required
  • Detailed flight reports: Approximately 10 pages per flight with stage-by-stage breakdown
  • AI landing analysis: Approach evaluation, glide slope tracking, threshold height, touchdown speed, rollout assessment
  • Takeoff analysis: Runway alignment, takeoff distance, liftoff speed, climb profile
  • 3D flight profile: Interactive three-dimensional visualization of the flight path
  • Flight logbook: Auto-generated descriptions, personal notes, tags, screenshots
  • Statistics dashboard: Flying time, distance, leaderboards
  • Route discovery: Flight route suggestions with SimBrief integration
  • Live flight sharing: Real-time tracking shareable via link

Flight reports and dashboards are accessible from any browser. Only the data collection component requires the Windows app.

KVM Setup

Since My FS Flights has no Linux build, it must run inside a Windows VM. The app detects simulators automatically — for this to work across the VM boundary, the VM needs network access to the X-Plane host.

Requirements

  • Windows 10+ guest in KVM/QEMU (see Docker & Virtualization for KVM basics)
  • Bridged or NAT networking with host access
  • X-Plane running on the Linux host

Connection

The exact mechanism My FS Flights uses to connect to X-Plane is not publicly documented. X-Plane broadcasts its presence via UDP multicast (beacon on 239.255.1.1:49707). With bridged networking, the Windows VM resides on the same network segment as the host, which allows discovery of the X-Plane instance.

Untested on Linux

This KVM approach is documented based on the tool's architecture. Whether My FS Flights reliably discovers and connects to an X-Plane instance on the Linux host has not been independently verified. Feedback is welcome.
