Each product contains extensive documentation in a PDF file that is accessible from the start menu. A modern Web browser or a separate PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat is required to view the documentation.

GroundAssist

Simulator Support: Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX, FSX:SE), Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (v3+)

O/S Support: Windows 7 and above

Contains two functions that are useful for ground-based operations:

  • Pushback
    • Allows user to control a pushback tug, and receive visual feedback regarding speed and turn direction.
    • Optional animated tug model, including GSX models if installed.
    • Optional use of a controller axis to drive the tug.
    • Optional camera that shows the pushback tug during operations in a docked or undocked window, allowing you to multitask.
  • Taxi Autothrottle
    • Works similar to an in-flight autothrottle, but meant for taxiing.
    • No more fiddling with throttle controls to find that uniform thrust sweet spot!
    • Select from three preset speeds, and use mouse wheel to quickly adjust.
    • Throttle levers are uniformly and smoothly operated.
    • Automatically tuned for the aircraft weight and engine thrust.

AxisViewer

Simulator Support: Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020, FSX, FSX:SE), Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (v3+)

O/S Support: Windows 7 and above

For each aircraft control surface selected, AxisViewer will show the position of the joystick axis attached to the control surface, and the actual position of the control surface according to the simulator. The benefits are:

  • Positive feedback on Control Surface Position. Ever ask yourself “Self, just what is that autopilot/autothrottle doing, anyway?!”
  • Allow you to manually adjust the Axis Positions to match the Control Surface Positions, so that you don’t get a nasty surprise (for example, sudden change in thrust) when the autopilot and/or autothrottle is disengaged.
  • Verification of joystick functioning and range of motion.
  • Clear indication of when “dead zones” are entered. You will see the Control Surface Position “snap” to a particular value as the Axis Position approaches the dead zone.

vPilot Model Rule Set Generator

Simulator Support: Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX, FSX:SE), Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (v2+)

O/S Support: Windows 7 and above

Use this tool to scan your installed simulators, or a specific directory tree, for aircraft SimObject models and generate a Rule Set compatible with vPilot. Configure vPilot to use the generated .vmr (vPilot Model Rule Set) files.
