Flight Deck

Seven pilot tools on your Stream Deck. No account, no API key, nothing to sign up for.

RUNWAY WIND — Crosswind and headwind components for any runway, with gust figures, magnetic variation and your own personal limit.

DENSITY ALTITUDE — Density and pressure altitude with ISA deviation, and an optional field-elevation override.

NEAREST VFR — The closest reporting airfields currently VFR, with distance and bearing, as a full-deck list with paging. Optional MVFR. Search around an airport or around you.

AIRPORT WEATHER — METAR and TAF for any ICAO worldwide, in standard flight-category colors, across four pages including sunrise, sunset and civil twilight.

FLIGHT BAG — 32 curated aviation sites plus unlimited custom links, with {ICAO} substitution so one key opens the right page for whichever airport you have set. Every entry is region-tagged.

TRACK FLIGHT — By flight number or ATC callsign: route and progress, altitude, speed, distance to run, destination weather and aircraft type. It finds the airplane even when a regional carrier flies the number — AA3543 transmits as ENY3543.

RADAR (FULL DECK) — A one-key takeover that turns the whole deck into a scope. Aircraft drawn by type, dead reckoning between updates, 10 to 250 nm range.

UNITS THAT SUIT YOU

Altitude in feet, flight level or meters. Speed in knots, mph or km/h. Tap the ALT or SPEED key to cycle it, or set it in the property panel — the choice is global and remembered. (FL360 and 36000FT are the same altitude: a flight level is hundreds of feet. Below 18,000 ft it always reads feet.)

ALSO INCLUDED

Seven scope themes and any custom color, a color-blind-safe palette, eight languages of interface, and two independent aircraft feeds with automatic failover.

DEVICE COMPATIBILITY

All seven actions work on any Stream Deck with keys: MK.2 and the original 5x3, Mini, XL, Stream Deck +, Neo, Studio, Mobile and the virtual deck.

The three full-deck modes — Radar, Nearest VFR and the flight dashboard — need a bundled layout, and one ships for MK.2/original, Mini, XL, Stream Deck + and Neo. On any other device those keys still work on their own and say so when pressed, rather than doing nothing.

The Stream Deck Pedal has no screens, so this plugin cannot display anything on one. The Stream Deck + and Neo dials and touch strips are not used — keys only.

Requires the Stream Deck app 6.9 or newer, on Windows 10 or later or macOS 12 or later.

WHAT IT IS NOT

This is not a legal weather briefing, and it is not for navigation. These are convenience shortcuts and awareness tools, not a substitute for a briefing. No airspace, no terrain, no obstructions, no frequencies.

The runway wind and altitude figures are advisory — standard approximations from an observation that may be up to an hour old. Your flight manual, the current ATIS and the tower are the authority. Every key shows the age of its report and dims when it goes stale.

No gate, scheduled time or delay. No aircraft broadcasts its gate; that data is bought, not received. The plugin says so rather than inventing it.

Most Flight Bag curated links are US ONLY — NOTAMs, TFRs, briefing, medical and certification are FAA services. Europe, Canada and Australia have their own sections, some links work worldwide, and any site you add yourself works anywhere.

First release on the Elgato Marketplace.

Seven pilot tools in one plugin: Runway Wind, Density Altitude, Nearest VFR, Airport Weather, Flight Bag, Track Flight and a full-deck Radar.

Highlights in this build:

Altitude reads in feet, flight level or meters, and speed in knots, mph or km/h. Tap the ALT or SPEED key to cycle, or set it in the property panel.

Track Flight resolves airline codes both ways, so AA4173 and AAL4173 both find the airplane, including regional carriers flying a mainline number.

Routes are chosen by checking them against the aircraft's own position and track, so a filed route the airplane is not actually flying is rejected rather than displayed.

Two independent aircraft feeds with automatic failover, so a rate-limited source no longer stalls the radar.

Sunrise, sunset and civil twilight are correct at every longitude.

Requires the Stream Deck app 6.9 or newer.
