Home - MobiFlight/MobiFlight-Connector GitHub Wiki
This open source project integrates standard hardware with your flight simulator - MobiFlight allows you to build your individual cockpit in a fast, cheap and super-flexible way!
How to get started
If you are new to MobiFlight, the best way to get started is to visit the official MobiFlight Website. There you can find the official documentation (which unfortunately is a bit outdated), specific tutorials, and Community Guides.
Also check out the MobiFlight Youtube Channel and Community Videos.
