AirManager
The best instrument panel tool on the market.
Air Manager is an application which allows you to create your own 2D flight simulator panels. You can run it on the same computer as your flight simulator, or on a separate computer. It will automatically connect to your X-Plane, FS2020, FSX or Prepar3D flight simulator on your local network. Choose your panel from one of the included 23 pre-made panels, or create your own from a library of more than 1100 free instruments. Is the instrument you are looking for not in our library? No problem, you can create your own by using our simple API in combination with the Lua scripting language.
iPad or Android tablet
Using Air Manager for iPad or Android tablet, you can stop using your mouse or keyboard to interact with the instrument panel. Simply load up your aircraft panel from within Air Manager, and use your fingers to manipulate frequencies, switches etc.
PC with touch screen(s)
Exterminate mice from your cockpit! Combine Air Manager with an off-the-shelf touch monitor for a more realistic experience. Control dials, switches and buttons either with your hand, or in combination with the Knobster.
Choose from more then 30 panels and 1200 instruments to create your own ultimate instrument panel layout.
