Know more. Fly smarter.
FlightCue is a compact Wi-Fi cockpit display for Microsoft Flight Simulator. It connects to your PC through the FlightCue Bridge — or pulls data directly from VATSIM — and shows live route, ETA, altitude, speed, wind and flight status right on your desk.
- 📡 Wi-Fi connected
- 🔌 USB-C powered
- 🖥️ MSFS + VATSIM
- ✈️ Works with any setup
- 🚀 Ships June 1, 2026
Your sim looks amazing.
But your flight data is hidden.
Microsoft Flight Simulator gives you a stunning cockpit view — but the information you need is often buried in cockpit screens, overlays, menus or second monitors. FlightCue keeps the essentials always visible, right next to your controls.
No more window switching
Keep ETA, route and flight status visible without leaving the cockpit view.
Less screen clutter
Move essential data away from your main monitor and let MSFS run full-screen.
More cockpit feeling
A dedicated physical display makes your sim setup feel more like a real cockpit.
Ready in minutes.
Install once. Glance forever.

Same audio stream the cube would open. 30 seconds, then auto-pause.
Not every stream plays in the browser — HLS and region-locked streams work only on the cube hardware (ESP-IDF audio decoder).
Hear your descent coming.
Pick a tone, set the distance, and the cube cues you 50 NM before Top of Descent so you can set up the FMC, brief the approach, and finish your coffee.
Your settings persist on this device. On the hardware cube, settings will sync via the in-cube Wi-Fi setup screen (Phase 3 firmware).
Touch nothing. Control everything.
Six-axis IMU reads every move. Tap the cube to toggle. Rotate it to skip stations. Shake it to mute. Pick it up — it knows.

Quick answers.
A free SimBrief account (for flight plans) + a free VATSIM account (for live position data) + Wi-Fi. That's it.
The cube reads your live VATSIM position, looks up the country, and streams that country's public-broadcaster radio over Wi-Fi via the built-in audio codec. Tap to mute or skip — the 6-axis IMU handles gestures.
Launch coverage is ~50 countries (Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, NZ, plus selected others). Full target is 180+ — the seed list in src/data/country-radio.json is OTA-updatable, and the community can suggest additions.
Single tap = on/off, rotate cube = next station, shake = mute, hold = volume slider. All powered by the onboard QMI8658 6-axis IMU (accelerometer + gyroscope).
The battery is optional — add a 3.7V Lithium cell to the MX1.25 header. Typical untethered runtime is 2-4h depending on screen brightness and audio. USB-C is the primary power source anytime.
Yes — the free OBS overlay browser-source works without the cube. You get the cube visuals on stream but NOT the radio, gestures, battery or TOD alert — those require the physical hardware.
No. One-time payment. No SaaS, no monthly fee, no DRM.
First-batch hardware ships June 1, 2026 — limited to 100 units. Reserve with a $9.99 refundable deposit. The remaining $39.01 is charged automatically when your cube ships. Or join the free waitlist with just an email (no payment).
