For All You Flightsim Streamers https://flightsim.to/file/98415/streamflight-your-obs-streaming-companion and here https://github.com/GadgetFPV0241/StreamFlight/releases/tag/1.2.5 ✈️ Want to display live MSFS 2020/2024 flight data on your Twitch, YouTube, or any other streaming platform? I was constantly battling with my streaming overlay. Either the app I used would crash mid-flight, the flight tracking software hid basic features behind a premium subscription, or the tools that did work were far too CPU-heavy for streaming, and if they didn’t hog resources, they forced me into using some generic, non-customizable overlay that just didn’t fit my stream look and feel. That’s exactly why I created StreamFlight — a lightweight, reliable, and simple interface that updates your flight data in real time. No crashes. No hidden costs. No performance drag. With StreamFlight, your stream looks polished and professional, and your viewers stay immersed in the flight — without you fighting your setup. Here’s how to set it up: 1️⃣ Create Your Overlay Use Photoshop (other graphics programs are available) to design an overlay with all your labels — Aircraft, CallSign, Altitude, Speed, Heading, ETE, ETA, Network, or anything else you want to share with your viewers. Keep it styled to match your stream’s look. 2️⃣ Set Up A Nested Scene In OBS Open OBS and create a new Nested Scene — for example, call it “FlightData.” Add your overlay image to this scene. Then, for each flight data element you want (speed, altitude, etc.), add a Text Source in OBS. Choose “Read from File” and point it to the corresponding text file that StreamFlight generates in the Output folder (you set this folder the first time you start StreamFlight). 3️⃣ Add To Your Main Scene Now just drop the "FlightData" Nested Scene into your main streaming scene. Position the text elements exactly where you want them on your overlay. 4️⃣ Go live! As soon as StreamFlight is connected to MSFS 2020/2024, the application will notify you of the connection status. It updates all files in real time. Your viewers will see smooth, live flight data — perfectly in sync with your flight. 💡 No complicated scripting. 💡 No clunky plugins. 💡 Just a clean, seamless solution that makes your stream stand out. With StreamFlight, your cockpit becomes part of the show — giving your audience the immersive experience they’re looking for. ⚙️ Core Features 🧭 Real-Time Data Capture Automatically generates live data files throughout your flight: ETE (Estimated Time Enroute) – continuous time tracking ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival, UTC) – precise arrival prediction Altitude – live altitude updates Headings – true, magnetic, and gyro Speed – real-time ground speed monitoring Distance to Waypoint (DTG) – GPS-based distance updates Distance to Destination – true remaining distance Outside Air Temperature (OAT) – live environmental monitoringAll data saved automatically in text files for easy access and integration. 🛫 Flight Planning Integration SimBrief Sync or Manual Entry Supports: Aircraft Type Callsign Departure & Destination ICAO Codes 🌐 Flexible Network Connectivity Choose how you fly: 📴 OFFLINE Mode 🌎 VATSIM ✈️ IVAO 🎧 PILOTEDGE 🚀 Smart Flight Phase Tracking Automatic detection and logging of all major flight stages: PREFLIGHT → TAXI → TAKEOFF → CLIMB → CRUISE → DESCENT → APPROACH → LANDING → TAXI Provides complete situational awareness from gate to gate. ⏱️ Dynamic Time Calculation ETA (UTC) and ETE continuously updated Based on current speed and distance remaining Ensures accurate arrival predictions under changing conditions ⚙️ Installation Extract: Unzip the downloaded file to any directory, using a utility such 7-Zip, WinZip or whatever (e.g., G:\Flightsim Utillities\StreamFlight\) Run: Double-click StreamFlight.exe to start the application 🛠️ Setup Upon First Launch StreamFlight will ask you to select an output folder for the data element text files, Browse to the directory of your choice. ✨ Usage Enter the manual input requirements, which are, Aircraft Type, CallSign, Departure ICAO, Destination ICAO and Online Network (if flying offline, select "NONE"). Click "Save Manual Fields", this create the text files in the chosen output folder. THATS IT! All the other elements will be created once you are connected to the simulator and will be updated live during the flight. When diconnected from the simulator you will see the updated connection staus in StreamFlight. It will constantly look for a connection and change its status if the simulator reconnects. In addition, all automatically updated text files will revert to either N/A or 00:00 when no simulator connection is present. 📚 Resource Included in the ZIP file, is an "overlay_demo.png" to serve as a visual reference for understanding the overlay process. This example demonstrates the intended structure, placement, and styling approach. You may use the "overlay_demo.png" to familiarise yourself with the method, and once you are comfortable, you can proceed to create your own overlay following the same principles. ☎️ Support & Feedback This is an initial release that I use myself, and to be honest works exactly how I need it to. Whilst there's no formal support, you can always pop into my stream to provide feedback. Don't forget to follow and Subscribe 🤣.

Hi, I like, some simmers in this thread, have never been able to fly in or over Germany without massive degradation of performance in the sim... Finally found what was causing the issue for me. Mamu Designs Powerlines and Solarfarms, which I had installed from flightsim.to, as well as "We Love VFR"... Removed both entirely, and was able to do a trouble free flight in to Munich, Dusseldorf and Nurenberg for the first in maybe 3 years... no drop in performance at all... Now before everyone tells me, "I don't have that installed", I did and that is what worked for me... Hope this helps someone.

Agree, 100%... Been using AutoFPS for ages and never fly without it... The latest test version is working brilliantly...

Hi Alex, Hope you are well... As always, thank you for your swift reply... Thought I was just ask, in case I missed something in the Tool>Options... Thank you.

Hi, Not Sure if this has been asked before, but is there a weather overlay that depicts the cloud and rain, like you would see on Navigraph for example.

Yes, it is great piece of software... I remember having a free trial when I was on P3D, but then I discovered LNM and it did everything I needed it to do, so much so, that cancelled my Navigraph Charts subscription because LNM has a lot of the information, and now only subscribe to AIRAC cycles...

It's a flight planning software... It was quite popular some years ago, before MSFS... It is payware... I use Little Nav Map, which is free and extremely powerful...

Hi, I have also seen the same error with one of my sceneries: Scenery Title: Community File: "H:/MSFS ADDONS 01/Scenery/jeppeson2001-scenery-niagara-falls/scenery/NiagaraFalls/Niagara-Falls.SCN.bgl" Message: Duplicate airport ident "CPQ3" in file "H:/MSFS ADDONS 01/Scenery/jeppeson2001-scenery-niagara-falls/scenery/NiagaraFalls/Niagara-Falls.SCN.bgl". File is malformed. Never saw this in the last version... I only activate it via Addons Linker if I choose to fly to the destination, so not much of an issue, I just "Keep Calm, And Carry On".. Just FYI... Regards, GadgetFPV

I had exactly the same problem... Luckily, I have a 3D Printer (these days everyone should have one, they are so useful and cost nothing), I 3D printed 2 Castor Cups and place the castors in them... stops movement completely... Similar to these... https://www.printables.com/model/661123-castor-cups-for-secretlab-omega-2020

Dear Alex, Thank you for your reply... I too could not really see in anything in the log indicating any severe error... I will keep an eye on it... It may well have been NOAA causing this... fingers crossed.

Hi Alex, Thank you for the reply... I have sent you the crash report... Regards,

Hi, Since World Update 17, LNM has been crashing for me... I have done all the usual troubleshooting... and even performed a clean re-install... I have the "little_navmap_crashreport.zip" package but need to know where to send it. This is the first time I have ever had LNM crash on me, which is not normal as this is a very stable software, and feel I know how to use it pretty well... Please advise.

Updates are available via OPs Center... No Idea of the Change Log can't seem to find one...
