X-Plane 11 AviTab: Freeware EFB-Tablet (X-Plane 11)

  • The AviTab is a VR compatible Tablet with a PDF viewer, Moving Maps and more.

    The AviTab is a freeware tool for X-Plane 11 that was released on May 20, 2018. Since then it has been downloaded more than 230,000 times (as of end of April 2020). The AviTab is a kind of EFB (Electronic Flight Bag), which allows to display maps, flight plan, a moving map, airfield data including weather and much more directly in the flight simulator.

    X-Plane 12 Compatibility: AviTab does not officially support X-Plane 12 (yet) but is tested and working with it.

    Thus, the AviTab is particularly well suited for flying in VR, since it is very awkward or even impossible with a VR headset to look at information from external media outside the flight simulator during the flight.

    In addition, the AviTab is characterized by the fact that there are already many direct integrations into the cockpit model of various standard airplanes as well as add-on airplanes for X-Plane 11, so that there is no need to show the tablet via the menu. Even today, more and more integrations are appearing and can be downloaded for the respective aircraft.

This page is about the installation of the AviTab for X-Plane 11. First of all, it is important to understand that there must always be a corresponding integration for each aircraft in order to be able to use the AviTab in it.
