SimToolkitPro, the Electronic Flight Bag empowering users with instant access information, will soon be updated to version 0.6. The free tool which has been under development for months now continues to add new features and functionality to improve the service offered by the team.
Whilst the new version is not out yet, SimToolkitPro developers wanted to share the confirmed features coming to the platform in a future update. Something many have been craving is support for a Mac and Linux client, which will be coming with version 0.6. Beyond that, a new data storage system will also be coming which enables data to be stored in a single file, have online account and sync, as well as the ability to backup data.
Other new features include an internal app server which will enable you to access your OFP and flight data from any mobile or tablet device on the same network. Other improvements will include a drop in ram usage, a random flight generator and much more. The full list of confirmed changes is down below.
To help you better understand what SimToolkitPro is, we’ve provided a first look video. This is from a slightly older version, but it gives a good overview on what to expect.
Once version 0.6 is out, we’ll let you know.
Thanks to Midds for the heads-up.
