Settings

Settings is where you manage your FlyHub account, desktop app behavior, simulator tools, integrations, and Career Mode save. Most pilots should start with the General tab, then check Simulator if they use FlyHub Desktop with Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane.

General Settings

Change your profile picture, username, SimBrief units, Pilot ID, tracking mode, and close-to-tray behavior.

SimBrief Profiles

Save custom SimBrief airframe Internal IDs for aircraft variants and choose them during OFP generation.

Career Mode Settings

Change your Career name or permanently reset your Career Mode save.

Integrations

Add VATSIM and IVAO IDs, link Navigraph, and understand integration bonuses.

Simulator Settings

Open the scenery scanner, enable the simulator overlay, configure the stream overlay, and manage the X-Plane plugin.
