Spend less time configuring and more time flying
MobiFlight is the free, open-source solution for bringing your flight sim controllers together in one place.
Why simmers are using MobiFlight
The problem is usually not hardware. The problem is making all of it work together in a way that feels practical, flexible, and worth your time.
These are the common challenges MobiFlight helps solve:
In-Game controller setup is nerve wrecking
The built-in assignment UI is hard to navigate, settings for addon aircraft are incomplete or missing, and there's no way to share or import profiles. A sim update can wipe everything and you're back to square one.
Default support for hardware is limited
You can only map inputs - outputs like LEDs, steppers, and displays aren't supported at all. Slow APIs like DirectInput mean encoders skip events and precision hardware can't perform the way it should.
Vendor app overload
Many hardware brands ship their own software. Multiple apps you need to learn, which are running in the background eating up CPU and RAM that your sim needs. And on top: only the most popular planes are supported.
DIY: buildable but not connectable
Affordable components and 3D printers mean anyone can build a panel. But connecting it to the sim requires software engineering knowledge most builders don't have — and shouldn't need.
What MobiFlight helps you do
MobiFlight brings controllers together, reduces setup effort, and gives you room to grow from simple profiles to advanced cockpit logic.
What this looks like in practice
The fastest way to understand MobiFlight is to look at the kinds of setups it unlocks.
