VaerolySupported simulators and aircraft
What Vaeroly ACARS works with, and what it reads from the simulator during a flight.
Simulators
| Simulator | Connection | Computers |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 / 2024 | SimConnect or FSUIPC7 (7.5+) | Windows |
| Prepar3D | FSUIPC | Windows |
| X-Plane 11 / 12 | X-Plane's own network data (UDP) | Windows, Mac, Linux |
What ACARS reads
| Data | MSFS (SimConnect) | MSFS / P3D (FSUIPC) | X-Plane |

| Engines running | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Flaps and gear handles | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |

| Aircraft type (ICAO designator) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
These come from the simulator's standard variables. Some add-on aircraft (for example study-level airliners) run their own systems and don't update all of them, so a switch can read differently from the cockpit. Airlines choose which of these checks count towards the score.
Aircraft
Any aircraft can be flown. Airlines pick from 292 real-world types, including every aircraft on SimBrief. ACARS reads the aircraft's ICAO type from the simulator to check it's the booked one; when an add-on reports none, its name is used, and airline staff can teach Vaeroly the names their pilots' add-ons use.

Add-on profiles shared by pilots
For add-ons whose switches or flap lever the standard variables don't describe, pilots record a profile with Teach Vaeroly this aircraft in the app. Once checked by Vaeroly, every copy of ACARS uses it.
