Installation
Extract the SimFly Linker zip file to any path. (Note: If you downloaded the installer, just run the .exe installer.)
Starting SimFly Linker
Run SimFly Linker.exe
, then click the “Start” button on the homepage of the interface. This indicates that the SimFly Linker service has started and it will attempt to automatically notify SimFly Pad on the local network.
If everything is set up correctly, you will see a green “SimFly Linker Connected” message at the top right corner of the Camera page in SimFly Pad. Additionally, a green indicator should be visible at the top left corner of the Cockpit page.
If SimFly Pad fails to automatically detect SimFly Linker, please refer to the network diagnostics guide for troubleshooting.
Network Requirement
Simply put, the device running SimFly Pad needs to be able to communicate with the PC running SimFly Linker over the network for most of SimFly Pad’s features to work.
Typically, they need to meet the following conditions:
Connected to the same router. (This is the simplest way. If they are on different routers, ensure the networks are connected. Usually, after knowing the IP address of SimFly Pad, you can use the
ping
command from the PC running SimFly Linker to verify the network.)If your PC is also using a wireless network, make sure both devices are using the same frequency band.
The device isolation option is not enabled in your router settings.
Windows Firewall or antivirus software is not blocking SimFly Linker’s network requests.
The devices are not running a VPN.
Both SimFly Pad and SimFly Linker have built-in network diagnostic tools. If you are unable to establish a connection between SimFly Linker and SimFly Pad, please refer to this article.

(Optional) We strongly recommend that you register a SimFly Pad account. It helps you synchronize your SimFly Pad app data, and your purchase records will also be linked to this account.
If you would like to use SimFly Pad to take photos or record videos of your simulator, you can switch to the Camera page.
If you would like to use SimFly Pad to control your cockpit, you can switch to the Cockpit page. That page includes panels for multiple aircraft types, such as the A320, B737, C172, and more. If you wish to unlock advanced panels (for example, the A320), iOS users can unlock them directly in the app, while Android users need to purchase an activation code from SimMarket.
