StreamFlight actually started over a year ago as a small freeware project I originally built for my own streams. Since then it's grown considerably and has been used by many streamers and non-streamers, largely because it's designed to be simple to set up and use. A lot of what StreamFlight has become has come directly from feedback and feature requests from the community. Over time that has meant adding support for multiple simulators and developing features such as overlays, flight tracking, SimBrief integration, RAAS, landing rates, ATC integration, the moving map and quite a bit more. Version 3 is the first commercial release after more than a year of continued development. The freeware version hasn't disappeared either — 2.3.6 remains available for anyone who wants to use it. The post was simply to let people who may already know StreamFlight, or might find it useful, know that Version 3 is now available. If it's not something you're interested in, that's absolutely fine. 🙂... Blue skies and happy flying! ✈️

StreamFlight 3.0.0 — Now AvailableI'm pleased to announce the release of StreamFlight 3.0.0. StreamFlight started as a small utility for my own flight simulation streams, but has since grown into a flight companion used by streamers and non-streamers alike. Version 3 takes another major step forward, combining live flight telemetry, flight tracking, customisable overlays, RAAS runway awareness, VATSIM/IVAO ATC integration and much more in one standalone application for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024, X-Plane 11/12 and Prepar3D. What's included in StreamFlight 3.0.0?Live flight telemetry, automatic flight phases, progress tracking, ETA/ETE/DTG and SimBrief integration RAAS Fully integrated Runway Awareness and Advisory System for MSFS Live ATC integration using VATSIM/IVAO and your active COM1 frequency Live Moving Map with aircraft position, heading and route Landing Rate detection, classification and overlays Passenger Manifest & Viewer Check-In Let viewers check in for your flight and receive their own assigned passenger seat Customisable OBS / Streamlabs browser overlays Gamer Mode for displaying flight information directly on your screen for non-streamers MSFS Live Control Input Display Automated Orbit and FlyBy camera controls Dual-PC streaming support for supported browser overlays Full 16-chapter User Manual and searchable online documentation Privacy Friendly — No Login Required — StreamFlight requires no user account or login, keeping setup simple and your flight simulation experience private. StreamFlight is a standalone Windows application, so nothing is installed into your simulator's Community folder. StreamFlight 3.0.0 is available as a one-time purchase with no subscription. For those who prefer to stay with the freeware version, StreamFlight 2.3.6 remains available as the final free release and can be downloaded from flightsim.to.

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.
