Use this add-on to check the accuracy of your braking. Try not to exceed -0.3G if possible.
I’ve put a lot of heart into this project, so I’d love to hear your feedback! I’m committed to improving it with even better features, and your suggestions are always welcome. Also, I’ve developed a version for Flow Pro as well—it’s actually much more convenient to use as a Flow Pro widget!

[Key Features]
1. Dynamic Flight Data Display
The UI layout adapts fluidly based on the aircraft's current status:
- In-air: Displays Radar Altitude (RA) in large digits to guide your touchdown. Once the aircraft exceeds 100 feet, the RA display is hidden and the window size is reduced.
- On-ground: The display automatically switches to Longitudinal G-force, allowing you to monitor braking performance. (Aim for a smooth deceleration under 0.3G).
- Toggleable Units: Click on GS (Ground Speed)/IAS (Indicated Airspeed) or Barometric Pressure (inHG/HPA) to toggle between units.
- Altitude Modes: Click the top-center display to toggle between Radio Altitude and Indicated Altitude.
- Wind & Vertical Speed: Displays wind speed and vertical rate (V/S) on either side of the aircraft icon.
- Drift Angle: Shows the angular deviation between the aircraft’s heading and its actual track.
- Wind Visualization: Wind speed colors change (Yellow / Orange / Red) based on the specific aircraft's crosswind limits (WindLimits). An arrow indicates wind direction relative to your current track.
- Mini-mode: Double-click the aircraft icon area to minimize the UI. Double-click again to restore it. (Note: Landing rate is not displayed in minimized mode).
2. Landing Performance Overlay
- Touchdown Analysis: Displays the Landing Rate at the exact moment of touchdown.
- FTM (Feet To Minutes): Located to the right of the aircraft icon, this allows you to predict your landing rate during descent.
- Overlay Display: A 300px fixed-width window appears in the center of the screen, showing your vertical descent rate (FPM) for 7 seconds post-landing.
3. Flexible Configuration & Connectivity
- INI-based Customization: Use
Settings.inito adjust transparency, movement thresholds, and wheel offsets (RA_Offset) without modifying the code. - RA_Offset: Since different aircraft models have varying RA values on the runway, you can calibrate the ground reference point here.
- Auto-Reconnect: The app attempts to connect to the simulator every 5 seconds, ensuring seamless integration even if the simulator is started later.
4. Automatic Aircraft Detection
The system analyzes aircraft weight and engine types to automatically apply optimized settings for:
- Heavy (Airliners)
- Medium (Turbo/Jet)
- Default (Light Aircraft)
- Helicopters

5. Smart Visibility Control
Designed to appear only when relevant to your flight:
- Auto-Sync: The UI automatically hides when the aircraft is stationary or when you navigate away from the active flight screen.
