Connecting ForeFight to the system

X-Plane includes a native feature to allow the connection of ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or a number of other EFB’s. This provides virtually an identical experience to how the EFB works in a real aircraft. The following outlines how to connect ForeFlight to X-Plane, other EFB’s are similar.

For Cirrus G7 and Vision Jet Simulators, Please Follow the Steps Below.

1. In the X-Plane > Settings > Network section, ensure that the “Broadcast to all mapping apps on the network” is checked
2. Connect your iPad to the WiFi network being broadcast by the SR7x, which will typically start with “Mikrotik”.  Please contact RealSimGear support for the WiFi password on this network. 
3. Open ForeFlight and touch the “Settings” button in the lower right corner, then find and click “Devices” about ½ way down the list.
4. You should see X-Plane listed as an option, click on the X-Plane item and slide the slider to “Enable”.                                           
   
5. Once set, if you go to the “Map” tab, you should see the aircraft location over the airport you are currently at in the simulator.
