Tired of screenshots without context?
With SimScreen Overlay you can automatically display your flight info (aircraft + route) right on your X-Plane screenshots.
🛫 Features:
-
Automatic import from SimBrief (Pilot ID).
-
Editable fields for Aircraft, Departure, and Arrival ICAO — perfect for VFR or non-SimBrief flights.
-
Clean overlay at the bottom-left corner of your screenshots.
-
Overlay shows only for the capture (no clutter while flying).
-
Custom screenshot command (key assignable in X-Plane settings).
⚙️ How it works:
-
Enter your SimBrief ID (or let it auto-import if you use Simload Manager).
-
Fetch your current OFP from SimBrief, or simply fill the fields manually.
-
Take a screenshot using the “SimScreen Overlay / Screenshot” command → overlay appears for that capture.
-
Adjust settings anytime via the FlyWithLua Macros → SimScreen Overlay: Settings window menu.
