The FSC Hub is our desktop companion app for flight simulator pilots — it checks your PC, helps you set up your sim, and puts our tools one click away. Free to install, on Windows.
Version 1.7.6 · released October 6, 2026 · Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
The button above downloads FscHub-win-Setup.exe. It’s a
single file — nothing to unzip.
This is normal and expected — see the note below for why it happens and how to check you have the real file.
There are no options to pick. FSC Hub installs to your own user account and opens by itself when it’s finished.
Sign in with the same email address as your FSC account and the Hub unlocks whatever your account includes. FSC Pro members get the Pro tools automatically.
While sending is on, Flight Sim Coach receives your flight controls, instruments, aircraft position, callsign, and aircraft type. You can turn sending off at any time.
Field-of-view calculator, keyboard-shortcut reference, startup “load order” recipes, and FAA navdata updates for X-Plane — the setup work that usually means hunting through forum posts. The basics are free; the one-click parts are FSC Pro.
Run a diagnostic on your simulator PC and get a written report on what’s holding your performance back. Included with FSC Pro.
Run the instrument-scan drill on your own between coaching sessions, with a live six-pack that floats over your sim. Included with FSC Pro.
The Hub is free to install and several tools are free to use. The Pro tools unlock when you sign in with an FSC Pro membership — nothing to re-download.
The drill running on a demo flight. Yours runs on your simulator’s live numbers.
The drill displays a live six-pack over your simulator and highlights one instrument at a time. Set the pace and fly.
Included with FSC Pro.
Almost everything works the same on both. The two exceptions are called out below so you know before you install.
| Tool | MSFS | X-Plane |
|---|---|---|
| PC & sim diagnostic | Yes | Yes |
| Startup “load order” recipes | Yes | Yes |
| Keyboard-shortcut search & overlay | Yes | Yes |
| Instrument-scan drill & pop-out six-pack | Yes | Yes |
| Field-of-view calculator | Yes, with a catch — you get your correct angles, but MSFS has no field-of-view setting to type them into, so you match them by eye with the cockpit camera zoom. | Yes — the numbers go straight into X-Plane’s own per-monitor settings. |
| FAA navdata updater | No — MSFS ships its own navigation data, so there is nothing for this to update. | Yes — installs the current cycle of US instrument approaches. |
Works with Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020 and 2024, Microsoft Store or Steam) and X-Plane 11 and 12 — tested on MSFS 2024 and X-Plane 12. The Hub runs on the same PC as your simulator.
No. The Hub is free to download and several of its tools are free to use. The diagnostic reports and a few of the advanced tools are part of FSC Pro. You can install it first and decide later.
No — and there isn’t one to lose. Sign in with the email address on your Flight Sim Coach account and the Hub works out what you have access to. If you buy FSC Pro later, the tools unlock the next time you sign in.
You don’t. The Hub checks for updates when it starts and installs them in the background. You never need to come back to this page — but if you do, this link always gives you the newest version.
Not currently. FSC Hub is Windows-only. If you use X-Plane on an Intel Mac or Linux computer for a coached session, use the legacy FSC Link X-Plane plugin. This connection is not available for Apple-silicon Macs; neither FSC Hub nor the legacy FSC Link plugin currently supports them.
Yes, there’s a portable build — unzip it and run it, no installation. Use it when the normal installer cannot be used or FSC support asks you to. It won’t update itself, so you’ll need to come back here for new versions. Most people should use the installer above.
Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps → FSC Hub → Uninstall, the same as any other program.
