One of the greatest tools in X-Plane is the AviTab Tablet. It is universally accepted, and wildly used throughout the Simulator. Here is an extra addon that gives the AviTab more functionality by inserting a "Browser" in the tablet, it has also been updated to v0.0.5.

 

You simply download and insert the avitab-browser-0.0.5-XP12 file and add it into your X-Plane/Resources/Plugins folder (The original AviTab Plugin must also be present).

 

On startup you now have in AviTab an extra icon called "Browser", just click on it, and yes you have instant access to the World-Wide-Web.

It really works fine, but a couple of notes. You need to adjust the tablets screen a little darker, as the browser is brighter than the other AviTab options, second, is that scrolling around the pages is a little slow, either by the navigation bars or by the scroll wheel, otherwise it is very good and very handy if you require information in flight, well worth added into your toolbox.

 

This is an update to v0.0.5, the update includes new features;

A few features of the plugin:

  • Configurable using .ini file
  • Custom homepage
  • A statusbar integration with up to five handy 'hotkey' websites
  • Flightplan downloading from SimBrief directly to Output/FMS Plans
  • Local browser cache (for login credentials, cookies and stuff)
  • Geolocation support (your location comes from the sim, of course)
  • Works with EVERY AviTab airplane or helicopter

 

Handy here is that you can now download flightplans plans directly from SimBrief to your Output/FMS folder via the tablet.
