FIDS - A Free Live Airport Departure Board for MSFS

FIDS - Free live VATSIM board for MSFS 20/24

Inspired by the OG Super Traffic Board X. Live split-flap board powered by your SimBrief plan (or just type any custom ICAO) + real VATSIM traffic, with live ATC positions/frequencies for your airport too. All tracked live. Standalone .exe, no terminal needed.

Features:

  • Live search/filter box: Instantly filter the board by flight number, callsign, airline, or destination.

  • Airline logos: callsigns resolve to real airline names with small logos next to each row.

  • Clickable pilot CID: Each pilot’s VATSIM CID links straight out to their profile.

  • Status-change chime: An audible ping whenever a flight’s status changes, with a mute toggle (persisted).

  • Dual clock header : Zulu time always shown, plus a LOCAL clock you can tap to switch between your own device time, the departure airport’s local time, or the arrival airport’s local time.

  • Light/dark theme toggle (board navy vs. dark), saved as a preference.

Would something like this actually be useful to the community? Also happy to take feature requests or bug reports if people want to try it out.



Ok, I’ll bite. Is this an existing app, or are you building it? URL?

I’m building it, but since the community showed no interest, I’m thinking of ditching it :sweat_smile:
