Your simulator. Your add-ons. Your PC. One command centre.
If you love Microsoft Flight Simulator but hate digging through Windows folders, chasing scenery conflicts, clearing caches, checking drivers, managing hundreds of add-ons or trying to work out why your sim suddenly isn't running properly...
Runway Command Operations Center was built for you.
RCOC brings simulator management, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, add-on organisation, scenery discovery, GSX profiles and everyday maintenance together in one premium Windows app.
And wherever possible, we've built it around one simple idea:
One click. Less messing around. More flying.
You don't need to be a Windows expert. You don't need to know where every MSFS folder or configuration file lives. And you definitely shouldn't have to spend your night searching forums just to fix your simulator.
RCOC does the heavy lifting and gives you the information in plain English.
CONFLICT RADAR
Got two airports installed for the same location? Scenery packages fighting with each other? Wondering whether your huge Community folder is hurting your FPS?
Conflict Radar helps find the problem.
RCOC scans your simulator content for possible duplicated airports, overlapping scenery and packages covering the same areas, then brings those potential conflicts together so you have somewhere sensible to start troubleshooting.
No manually opening hundreds of folders trying to guess what's related.
SCENERY SWITCHBOARD
Your Community folder doesn't need to contain everything you own all at once.
Scenery Switchboard lets you control what's active and what isn't.
Temporarily disable scenery for testing, organise large collections and bring packages back when you need them.
Got add-ons stored on another drive?
RCOC can also help link compatible add-on storage into your simulator, meaning a package that may normally take up gigabytes on your main drive can be connected using a link that's only kilobytes in size.
Cleaner Community folder. More storage freedom. Easier troubleshooting.
FLEET MANIFEST & LIVERIES
Aircraft and liveries can pile up just as quickly as scenery.
RCOC shows you which aircraft and liveries are installed, so you don’t have to dig through your simulator folders to find them.
Select an aircraft and open the new See All Liveries pop-out to view all its liveries visually, with aircraft previews, airline names and registrations in one place.
It’s a much easier way to see and manage your MSFS collection.
SYSTEM READINESS
Flight Simulator can push a PC incredibly hard.
RCOC's System Readiness gives you one place to see what the computer underneath your simulator is actually doing.
Depending on your hardware, RCOC can show things like:
CPU usage and temperature
GPU usage and temperature
Memory usage
Storage and system information
Simulator-related performance information
Live and historical performance graphs
But it doesn't stop at showing you numbers.
RCOC can also help identify things that may need attention, including:
NVIDIA/graphics driver updates
CPU and chipset driver updates
Windows updates
Other simulator-related system components
So instead of jumping between Windows Update, hardware utilities, websites and driver tools, you can see the important stuff together.
DLSS SWAPPER
Supported NVIDIA users can also manage the DLSS version used by Microsoft Flight Simulator directly through RCOC.
No hunting for DLL files. No manually replacing files inside simulator folders.
It's a far easier way to manage DLSS versions and can help you experiment with improvements to smoothness, stability and visual quality.
MEMORY & PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
RCOC is also being developed to go deeper into the problems that can slowly ruin a flight.
Instead of simply telling you that your memory usage is high, RCOC can help identify what is consuming memory, explain the problem in normal language and provide controlled options for dealing with supported issues.
The technical information is there when you want it.
But you shouldn't need an IT degree to understand it.
FIND AIRPORT SCENERY & GSX PROFILES
Flying somewhere new and wondering if there's a better airport available?
Search for an airport directly inside RCOC and discover relevant freeware and commercial scenery without spending half your night searching the internet.
And for GSX users, it gets even better.
RCOC can identify airports missing GSX Pro profiles and help you find available profiles for them.
BULK GSX PROFILE INSTALLATION
Instead of downloading profiles individually, finding the right folders and manually copying files one by one, RCOC can install multiple supported GSX profiles through one streamlined process.
Select them.
Install them.
Done.
It's one of those jobs that should have always been easy.
Now it is.
FIND ME A FLIGHT
Sometimes you want to fly.
You just have absolutely no idea where.
Tell Find Me a Flight roughly how much time you've got and let RCOC help find airport combinations and routes that fit.
Got an hour?
Four hours?
A whole afternoon?
Turn:
"Where the hell should I fly today?"
into an actual flight idea.
QUICK COMMANDS
RCOC also puts the everyday things flight simmers constantly need right in front of you.
Quick access to tools and locations such as:
Community Folder
User configuration
Custom add-on folders
Local cache maintenance
Rolling cache maintenance
Simulator-related file and maintenance tools
No more remembering obscure Windows paths or digging through AppData every time you need something.
TROUBLESHOOTING WITHOUT THE HEADACHE
When your simulator isn’t behaving properly, it can be hard to know where to start.
RCOC’s Diagnose section brings together WASM, CTD Detective, Stutter Solver, Loading Detective and Memory Leak Detective. Whether you’re dealing with a crash, stutters, a slow-loading flight or rising memory use, you have a place to start looking for evidence.
There are also clear guides to help you understand what you’re seeing and what to try next. They’re written for flight simmers, in straightforward language.
BUILT FOR BIG ADD-ON COLLECTIONS
The bigger your simulator gets, the more useful RCOC becomes.
If you've got hundreds or thousands of scenery packages, aircraft, liveries, utilities and profiles spread across multiple drives, RCOC can help cut down the time spent:
Digging through Community folders
Finding hidden simulator directories
Looking for duplicate scenery
Testing add-ons individually
Moving packages around manually
Managing multiple storage drives
Clearing simulator caches
Finding configuration files
Keeping track of aircraft and liveries
Checking PC performance
Finding scenery
Installing GSX profiles
Working out where to fly
Trying to figure out why MSFS has suddenly lost the plot
Instead of managing your simulator through dozens of folders, websites and Windows tools...
Open RCOC.
BUILT BY A SIMMER, FOR SIMMERS
RCOC isn't another generic PC utility that happens to know Microsoft Flight Simulator exists.
It's being built specifically around the problems flight simmers actually deal with & was built by a simmer for simmers!
We know customers can have hundreds or even thousands of dollars invested in their simulator, so file management and maintenance aren't things we take lightly.
RCOC has been designed around clear actions, confirmations, validation and controlled workflows.
Where supported operations involve temporarily disabling, moving or changing simulator content, they're designed to be reversible wherever possible.
And before sensitive actions happen, you should know what RCOC is about to do.
The app is designed to work within the simulator and system areas it actually needs—not go wandering through unrelated personal files.
BUILT FOR YOUR PC
There is no such thing as one standard flight-sim computer.
Different CPUs.
Different GPUs.
Different drives.
Different Windows configurations.
Steam.
Microsoft Store.
MSFS 2020.
MSFS 2024.
Small Community folders.
Absolutely ridiculous Community folders.
RCOC has been designed with that reality in mind.
Where supported information is available, RCOC works with your actual simulator installation and your actual hardware rather than expecting every customer to have the same setup.
Your PC shouldn't have to adapt to RCOC.
RCOC should adapt to your PC.
MORE THAN AN ADD-ON MANAGER
RCOC isn't just a prettier way of looking at folders.
It brings together:
Add-on management.
Conflict detection.
Diagnostics.
Troubleshooting.
PC monitoring.
Maintenance.
Scenery management.
Aircraft and livery organisation.
GSX profile installation.
Scenery discovery.
Flight discovery.
System readiness.
All inside one application built specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
That's why we call it:
Your Simulator Command Centre.
DESIGNED TO MAKE THE COMPLICATED STUFF SIMPLE
There's a huge amount going on behind Microsoft Flight Simulator.
RCOC doesn't pretend that complexity doesn't exist.
It just tries very hard to make sure you don't have to deal with most of it.
Advanced information is there for customers who want it.
But for everyone else?
See the problem.
Understand what it means.
Press the button.
Get back to flying.
That's the whole philosophy behind RCOC.
RCOC is being built to grow with the flight-simulation community.
As MSFS changes, hardware changes and new problems appear, RCOC can continue evolving with them.

RUNWAY COMMAND OPERATIONS CENTER
Your simulator. Your add-ons. Your system. One command centre.
I must say, this is probably the best, most logical and well organised utility that has been released for MSFS I have seen so far. The UI is well designed, easy to navigate and follow and really helps you organise all your add-ins, and ensure all of your drivers, conflicts etc are transparent and efficiently managed. It truly brings insight to life. I am sure over time it will only get better but off the bat, is already a very well polished release.
Wow finally someone built an all in one app that helps you fix the most critical flight simulator things in seconds instead of hours! And most of it is 1 click too which is incredible! I really love how it found CPU drivers that I needed to update that not even MSI could tell me about! This app has incredible potential and is going to be a must for every single simmer worldwide! Really love the bulk GSX profile installation too that was a nice thoughtful addition!
