smartCARS Pro gives you access to a searchable database of regularly-updated real-world airline flight schedules. Whether it's a suggested flight from your last arrival or a search between your favorite airports, you can fly like an airline pilot with the right callsign, route, and sometimes even terminals.
If you aren't feeling commercial aircraft, smartCARS Pro generates flights to match your preferred flying type. With flight types like dirt runway bush flying, corporate contract-style jobs, ferry flights, and more, you won't have to wonder where to fly.
Using the smartCARS Mobile Experience, you can book flights, preview flight reports, and monitor your simulator in real-time from a mobile device. You can take your flight with you if you need to step away and feel confident that things will be in good shape when you return.
Detailed flight tracking has never been easier. Once you have opened smartCARS and selected a flight, you simply start flying in your simulator. During your flight, you have access to a real-time map of your route, status information, and a log of critical flight events.
When enabled, pause at Top of Descent provides peace of mind knowing that your simulator will pause when you get close to your arrival in case you need to step away or have some multitasking to do.
smartCARS can be easily pinned above other applications, meaning you can use it as a GPS when flying aircraft that don't have one of their own; this is especially helpful when flying smaller aircraft on bush flights into unfamiliar areas.
Once your flight is over, the details are automatically saved to your personal cloud logbook. In addition to knowing your flights always count, you can dive into the exact details of your flight with an altitude profile chart and a real-time playback of a primary flight display, log, and moving map. If you really liked how a flight went (or really didn't), you can use the flight report to learn exactly what you did for next time.
Whether you're flying on your own or with a VA, your flight logs are always backed up to the cloud. This means you will never lose a flight.
smartCARS Pro monitors your flight and will pause your simulator immediately if it detects something off. This includes:
If, for some reason, you have to step away (it is a simulator, after all - life happens), you can be confident that you will return to your flight either exactly as you expect or paused, waiting for you.
If your simulator, smartCARS, or even your computer itself, crashes, you can restore your flight to within a minute of where you were and pick up where you left off.
