IFE

How the IFE works

All guides

The IFE is the screen your passengers would be looking at: a live moving map of your flight, in a browser, that anyone you send the link to can watch.

It costs nothing to run and needs no credits.

Your IFE address

Your IFE lives at a fixed address based on your username, so the link never changes:

anyairline.app/ife/your-username

Open it on a second monitor, a tablet propped up beside you, or send it to someone who wants to follow along. It updates itself while you fly — position, altitude, speed, time to destination.

If you want to see it before flying anything, there is a demo.

Where the data comes from

The connector sends your position to the cloud while a flight is running, and the IFE reads it from there. That means it works on any device on any network, not just the machine running the simulator — someone on the other side of the world can watch your flight.

When no flight is running, the IFE shows your last one.

What is on it

The map — your aircraft, the route, and the airports at each end, with city and airport names written the way they are actually said in the language you chose. Where a translation exists into a different script, it uses it.

Flight information — altitude, speed, distance and time remaining, local times at both ends.

Entertainment — a video stage that plays YouTube or Twitch, internet radio, a Spotify mini player, and a few small games for when the cruise gets long.

An information strip — optional, and off unless you turn it on: flight details, what is playing, weather at the destination, headlines.

Streaming it

If you stream or record, the IFE can be used as an overlay in OBS instead of a page you look at. You get a private link with a token in it, add that as a browser source, and the map appears over your cockpit with a transparent background and a theme you pick.

The token is what keeps it private, so treat that link as a secret — anyone with it can see your overlay. It is set up under Settings → IFE / Overlay.

Names of places

City and airport names come from a shared community list, so a passenger reading the map in Arabic sees Arabic names rather than transliterated Latin ones.

If a name is missing or wrong for your language, you can add it yourself under Settings → Translations. Your correction applies to your own IFE immediately, and good ones end up helping everyone.
