LRM is a free tool that enables you to monitor and track your flights and aircraft landing rates within your flight simulator.
Features
- Easy to install download and run the installer - you'll be up and running in a few seconds (next, next, next etc)!
- Lightweight only a few megabytes of space required on your machine!
- Easy to use just run the application and it'll track your take-off and landing rate.
- Run it on a remote machine LRM can be run on a remote machine when using WideFS.
- Display the FPM and G-Force at landing and the take-off rate in-sim No more having to minimise your sim to see the landing rate, you can choose to show the landing rate (FPM) directly in the sim!
- Flight logbook linking the LRM client to a free FSHub.io account enables you to record all your flights, routes flown and landing statistics.
- Web-based GPS tracking you can monitor your aircraft position on any device, anywhere...
- Cabin announcements/sounds effects (optional) had a good landing? You can enable cabin feedback by having a roar of passenger applause! If you have a bad landing you will hear screams! You can also enable or disable cabin announcements during pushback and after arriving. These sound effects are totally customisable too!
- Route planner can be used (when you have linked the LRM Client to your FsHub account to specify a flight plan (totally optional though), you can even import route plans from SimBrief or LittleNavMap save files too.
