Hi All,
I’ve developed an addon utility to help manage plane information overload, to scratch a couple of itches I was having with the Aircraft Selection screen.
Update: Short blog post on the development of Aircraft Manager: Aircraft Manager for MSFS - Development Overview - Sonicviz
If you’re interested in testing an early release, I’ve released a free lite version you can download here to test it out:
IMPORTANT: Please check the KNOWN ISSUES section on the page link above.
I’d appreciate any feedback or issue reports, especially if you think it’s a useful utility for the wider community. Issue submission form is at the bottom of the page link.
Explainer video of the full version (still tweaking, testing, and polishing) is here:

Update #2 9/1/2023
- Due to memory issues with integrating into the MSFS UI a hybrid pagination/scroll system has been implemented to avoid any issues. Page size is currently set at 80 rows to stike a balance between utility, performance, and bug free use.
- Search Integration: Search via the MSFS search boxes is bi-directional (both ways) between AM and MSFS aircraft selection. AM filtering is restricted to within AM as the search functions for them do not currently exist in MSFS.
Update 9/1/2023
New free version release, no version number change. Resolve memory issues with scrolling of large aircraft collections.
