    FR24 to SimBrief - Image 1

    Description

    🧭 FR24 → SimBrief · Version: 3.0.0 · Developer: aguyfromZRH and Claude

    ✈️ Description

    FR24 to SimBrief is a desktop tool for flight simulator pilots. Paste a FlightRadar24 flight link or type an ICAO callsign — the app fetches all real-world data and opens SimBrief with everything pre-filled. One click. Done.

    🆕 New in v3.0 — complete redesign

    • 🎨 macOS-style design — sidebar with your flights, large title, a Flighty-style route card and an iOS-style settings form. Inter typeface and clean line icons.
    • 🗂 Map · Weather · VATSIM as tabs — everything at a glance, no more scrolling.
    • 🔍 Sharp on every screen — scales itself up on 4K monitors. Ctrl + / Ctrl − to zoom, Ctrl 0 to reset.
    • ✅ Fixed: real-world STD — the departure time is now really sent to SimBrief (it was ignored in all earlier versions).
    • 🌦 Readable weather — visibility shown as “≥ 10 km” instead of “9999”, correct variable wind.

    ✨ Also new since v2.2

    • 📡 VATSIM integration — online ATC with frequencies and ATIS at departure and arrival, VATSIM traffic on your route, and a warning if your callsign is already in use.
    • 📸 Aircraft photos — a real photo of the exact aircraft, looked up by registration on planespotters.net (photographer credited).
    • 🌍 German / English — switch the whole app instantly. Light and dark mode, both remembered.

    💻 Features

    • Live & historic FR24 flights (last 7 days)
    • Interactive map with great-circle route
    • Live VATSIM ATC, traffic and callsign check
    • Real aircraft photos by registration
    • METAR & TAF weather for both airports, colour-coded VMC / MVFR / IFR / LIFR
    • 993 airline logos included in the installer
    • Every value editable before sending to SimBrief
    • German & English · Light & Dark mode
    • No Python, no dependencies, no admin rights

    ⚙️ Installation Run FR24toSimBrief_v3.0_Setup.msi · choose a folder · click Install · done. Older versions are replaced automatically. The ZIP also contains the user manual (PDF) and a readme.

    🧠 Usage Enter an ICAO callsign (e.g. SWR8T) or paste a FR24 URL → select the flight → check the details → Open in SimBrief.

    ⚠️ Use ICAO callsigns — IATA codes (LX, KL) are not supported.

    I like the idea of the app. I only fly offline and often rely on FR24 data for finding IRL flights. Thank you!

    Funktioniert bei mir einwandfrei ;-) was cool wäre wenn man noch die CSV oder KML Files von FR24 importieren könnte. Habe ganz viele abgelegt aus alten Flügen...
    ev. gibts da ja in Zukunft eine möglichkeit.
    GUI ist eigentlich gut, bisschen Farbe wäre noch eine Idee für zukünftige Releases...
    Super Idee!

    Hello, thank you so much for "developing" this with our friend chat :)

    Possible in the next update you could pass the flight departure time (EOBT) from FR24 into Simbrief? This would make the tool 110% complete for me (as it is it's about 97%)

    Thanks again for putting this out!!

    Sounds cool will try it. But quick question isn't flight plan retrieval paid option on FR24 ? Are you sure you're not bypassing any ToS ?
