Your flight on an iPad, Android tablet or the family TV.

Pick the device for the job

• iPad or Android tablet. The most popular second screen. Put it in a stand or kneeboard mount beside your controls and use it in landscape. Safari on iPad and Chrome on Android both work.
• Phone. Good as a compact flight display. In landscape, Economy and First Class show a Flight Card with route progress, altitude, ground speed, ETA and the next waypoint in one corner, while the map fills the rest of the screen. You can switch it off in Settings.
• Laptop or spare monitor. The biggest map and the easiest setup. If you fly on a PC, a separate laptop keeps the 3D map from competing with your simulator for graphics power.
• TV. There is no TV app. The most dependable setup is a laptop or small PC connected to the TV with an HDMI cable and the browser in full screen. Mirroring a tablet or laptop to the TV can also work, depending on your devices.

One screen or two at once

The 100-hour trial and Economy play on one device at a time. First Class plays on two devices at once, and they can follow different flights: a tablet beside the yoke and the TV across the room, or your flight and a friend's.

Keep the screen awake

Phones, tablets and laptops dim and lock themselves to save power, and a locked screen can't show the flight. Before a long flight, plug the device in and set Auto-Lock on an iPad, Screen timeout on Android, or the display sleep setting on Windows or macOS to a longer time or to never. Keep Infinite Aeroshow as the visible tab, because a browser tab in the background may stop updating.

The 15-minute rule on Infinite Flight

Infinite Flight's live data terms ask apps to stop downloading after 15 minutes without input. When that happens, Infinite Aeroshow switches to a seat-monitor standby screen showing the time of the last live update, and a tap, a key press or a mouse move picks the flight up again. VATSIM flights don't pause this way. If the screen is out of reach, such as a TV across the room, keep a wireless mouse or keyboard nearby.

If the map feels slow

A 3D globe asks a lot of older tablets and small TV boxes. Open Settings and try a lower Overall Performance setting or a lower city label density, and close other tabs and apps. If the picture is slow but the numbers still change, the flight itself is still updating.

In your language

The interface is available in 10 languages on every plan: English, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Indonesian and Turkish. Pick one on the start screen or at the top of Settings.
