Description IgorekDE Control Panel – ACARS for MSFS & X-Plane
WARNING!!!Attention!!! You can get your Pilot API Key only after registering on the website https://igorek-koln.de/

For any questions, please send me a private message. Overview
Please check this folder on your PC:
"C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\igorekDE\ACARS\v2"
If you have already done many flights, some runtime log files there may have grown very large over time.
Please manually delete unusually large files there once, especially files such as:
- "periodic_tasks.log"
- "xplane_sop_audit.jsonl"
- "client_update.log"
- "startup_trace.log"
After that, the new client build will manage these logs automatically with bounded rotation/retention, so they should no longer grow without control.
IgorekDE Control Panel is a lightweight ACARS client designed for flight simulation communities and virtual airlines.
It connects your simulator to the IgorekDE Control Panel backend, allowing automatic flight tracking, live telemetry, and detailed flight reports.
The system was created by sim pilots for sim pilots — with a focus on reliability, simplicity, and realistic flight monitoring.
It supports both Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane, making it suitable for mixed-sim communities.
Key Features
• Automatic Flight Tracking
Detects active flights and records telemetry data during the entire flight.
• Live ACARS Telemetry
Continuously sends aircraft position, altitude, speed, and status to the server.
• Landing Analysis
Records touchdown data such as:
- Vertical speed (FPM)
- G-force
- Landing quality
• Real-Time Map Integration
Aircraft position can be displayed on a live map through the IgorekDE Control Panel website.
• SimBrief Integration
Attach SimBrief flight plans for better flight identification.
• MSFS & X-Plane Support
Works with both simulators using dedicated connectors.
• Automatic Flight Phase Detection
Detects phases like taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing.
• Penalty & Monitoring System
Optional monitoring for flight realism including:
- Taxi speed
- Aircraft lights usage
- Other operational parameters
• Lightweight & Stable
Designed to run quietly in the background with minimal performance impact.
