FLARE - Landing Analyzer for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Know exactly how good your landings are.
FLARE runs alongside MSFS 2024 and grades every landing the moment you touch down, then tells you why. It is built for sim pilots who want an honest, repeatable measure of their flying instead of a guess.
Airline-grade scoring, in real time
Every touchdown is graded A+ to F against the same metrics professional flight-data monitoring (FOQA) uses: sink rate at touchdown, peak G, centreline accuracy, touchdown-zone placement, approach stability, and crosswind handling. Grades are anchored to FAA, EASA, and manufacturer (FCOM) limits, so the verdict actually means something. No vague “nice landing”.
Coaching after every landing, not just a number
FLARE explains the score in plain language: what you did well and what to work on. It flags a tailwind landing, carrying power into the flare, flaring too high, a hard bounce, a fast or slow approach, a steep or shallow path, or a crab carried into the touchdown, and it calls out the good ones too, from a buttered touchdown to a well-handled crosswind to a clean hand-flown approach.
474 aircraft, each judged on its own terms
FLARE ships with per-aircraft scoring profiles for 474 airframes across 66 sub-families and 28 categories, from a Cessna 152 to a Boeing 777 to a hot-air balloon. Each profile is tuned to that aircraft’s real reference speeds and limits, with a wind-difficulty modifier so a 25-knot crosswind isn’t judged like calm air, and a tail-strike penalty for types prone to it. Your aircraft is recognised automatically, including study-level add-ons such as the Fenix A320 and PMDG 737.
The entire approach, recorded
From 1,000 ft AGL through rollout, FLARE logs sink rate, G, pitch, bank, sideslip, glide-path deviation, localiser offset, airspeed, and gear and flap state, all timestamped and graphable. When something is off, you can see exactly where and when.
A live view, built for a second monitor
FLARE runs in its own window so it never competes with MSFS for screen space. A live data page shows your flight path, a real ILS cross-pointer read from the sim, wind and weather, and configuration in real time. A touchdown summary appears right after you land, and the full review with score breakdown, instrument trace, and coaching is one click away.
Your logbook, stats, and achievements
Landings are stored locally and export to CSV or JSON anytime. With a free flaresim.io account you can sync to the web for long-term trends and statistics, achievements and per-aircraft mastery, leaderboards, shareable landing pages, and a side-by-side debrief you can review with a friend or instructor. Your data always stays tied to the account that uploaded it.
One licence, two PCs, kept current
A single licence covers up to two PCs, with account-aware handling on shared machines, so a previous owner’s history can be cleared cleanly. Updates install in-app automatically and are included for the supported life of MSFS 2024.
Display: 1280 × 720 minimum. Designed for placement on a second monitor so FLARE never competes with MSFS for screen real estate.
Internet: Required for one-time activation per device and for landing sync (sync is on by default and can be turned off). After activation the desktop app keeps working offline for up to 14 days; reconnect within that window to refresh.
Permissions: No administrator rights required for normal use.
Absolut empfehlenswert ! Seit Release gab es jeden Tag Updates. Auf Support Anfragen wird schnell reagiert. Das Tool selber macht was es soll (und das sehr sehr umfangreich !) und motiviert durch Auszeichnungen zum Üben von Landungen. :)
I've used several landing analysis tools. And this is, without a doubt, the best of them all. The amount of data it provides and, especially for me, the tips for improvement.
