A free alternative to Air Manager.
Hi everyone,
If anyone is looking for an alternative to Air Manager for Flight Simulator gauges, I’ve been developing a lightweight system focused on simplicity and functionality.
At the moment, it has a smaller selection of gauges, but they are fully functional and optimized to run smoothly. The system also includes a moving map feature and Arduino connectivity, so you can configure physical buttons like Zoom+ and Zoom- if you want a more realistic cockpit setup.
Another useful feature is that the system can run on a second PC over the local network, making it easy to build a multi-screen or home cockpit environment.
Future plans include:
- Radio system support
- Arduino-controlled radio buttons and switches
- Integrated autopilot system
The goal is to create an easy-to-use and flexible platform for home cockpit builders without requiring expensive or overly complex solutions.
If anyone is interested, I’d be happy to share more details and progress updates.
