Introduction

LiftBox is a software designed for communication with popular flight simulators, including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 / 2024, X-Plane 11, and X-Plane 12. The LiftBox package includes a smartphone app, a PC app that runs alongside the flight simulator, STL files for 3D printing, and Arduino code for creating a DIY device based on the NodeMCU platform.

LiftBox offers multiple configurations for different planes and simulators, allowing the user to interact with the knobs and buttons of the plane using a tablet or smartphone. This provides an enhanced and more immersive experience while using flight simulators.
