Camera Controls

  • X-Plane defaults, one tap away
    Instantly access the default X-Plane views.
  • Custom views on demand
    Create your own head-tracked camera positions with a single tap, and switch between them instantly. Perfect for setting up cockpit, instruments or passenger views that feel natural with head tracking. View changes are smoothly animated.
  • Per-aircraft memory
    Custom cameras are saved with the currently loaded aircraft, so each plane has its own dedicated set of views.

X-Camera Integration

Flight Track ONE doesn’t just support X-Camera — it integrates with it automatically.

  • Zero setup: The app detects X-Camera the moment it’s active.
  • Full control: Simply enable the TrackIR option for each camera you’d like to track — no extra configuration needed.
  • Dynamic switching: Flight Track ONE adapts instantly when you move between X-Camera and default views.
  • Smooth experience: The integration is frame-accurate and requires no plugins or scripts.

With Flight Track ONE and X-Camera together, you get the most flexible, realistic cockpit view system available for X-Plane.

Requirements

Flight Deck AR uses Apple ARKit Face Tracking (TrueDepth).

  • X-Plane desktop (macOS/Windows/Linux)
  • Same local Wi-Fi for device and simulator

Performance

Flight Deck AR uses the TrueDepth camera at up to 60 FPS. While tracking runs independently, X-Plane should maintain at least 30 FPS for an optimal experience — higher frame rates will make the motion appear even smoother.
