Live sim connection
SimCharts connects directly to your simulator. Your aircraft position, altitude, and heading update on the map in real time.
Your Sim. Your Charts. Connected.
Charts that stay livesyncedautomaticintegratedintegrated
SimCharts connects to your simulator and keeps charts, procedures, and your aircraft position in sync — so you brief and fly from one place.
Get Started
Free — no subscription, no credit card.
In the cockpit
Built for the way you actually fly.
Map, charts, and procedures side by side — synced to your sim in real time. Works on tablet, desktop, or a second monitor.
What sets us apart
Built for the cockpit, not the browser.
Auto procedure selection
SIDs, STARs, and approaches are matched to your flight plan automatically. Select a runway and the right charts appear — with transitions.
More than static charts
Real navdata powers every procedure. Chart viewers show you PDFs — SimCharts understands the route you're actually flying.
How it works
From cold and dark to final approach — in three steps.
01
Connect your sim
Launch the SimCharts bridge. It detects your simulator automatically and starts streaming aircraft data.
02
Procedures load automatically
Your flight plan is read from the sim. SIDs, STARs, and approaches are matched and ready — including transitions.
03
Fly with full context
Your aircraft moves on the map in real time. Charts, procedures, and route context stay in sync as you fly.
Navigraph alternative
A free chart workflow that flies with you.
If you are searching for a Navigraph alternative, SimCharts gives you chart access, live aircraft tracking, SimBrief-aware routing, and automatic procedure matching in one cockpit-focused workflow.

Why pilots use it
One tool from briefing to touchdown.
No more alt-tabbing between a chart viewer, a map, and your sim. SimCharts reads your flight plan, matches the right procedures, and tracks your aircraft — all in one window.
Chart viewers show static PDFs. SimCharts connects to your simulator in real time — your aircraft moves on the map, procedures are matched to your flight plan automatically, and transitions are resolved from actual navdata. It's a flight companion, not a file browser.
Yes. SimCharts supports MSFS 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 11 and 12, and Prepar3D via a lightweight desktop bridge.
Yes. Core features including live sim sync, charts, and procedure lookup are free. No credit card required.
You run a small desktop bridge app alongside your simulator. It reads your aircraft state and flight plan, then syncs it to SimCharts in real time. No port forwarding or manual setup needed.
