Vortiq Connect
Add live simulator data when you need it.
Vortiq EFB can be used on its own with your normal sim workflow. Vortiq Connect is the optional Windows bridge for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Pair it once, then the app can read live simulator data during the flight.
That live layer adds position, altitude, speed, heading, flight phase and aircraft state on top of the flight you already loaded from SimBrief.
Workflow
