//42 Flow

for Microsoft Flight Simulator
Your purchase includes Flow, a customizable menu system add-on utility.
Say goodbye to the poorly designed default toolbar. Flow brings a highly intuitive and easy-to-navigate in-game interaction wheel into flight simulation.

Our revolutionary menu system challenges the status quo and offers a new and improved way of accessing and interacting with information. Navigating a single row of ever-growing control panels has become an unsightly chore in Microsoft Flight Simulator. 42 is the answer; goodbye toolbar, hello Flow!

Free

The freeware version allows you to access default & custom toolbar panels from an on-screen overlay. Bring up the wheel with any assignable key or button. With its modern approach to a menu system, Flow offers a unique and customizable experience for each user or aircraft.

Customizable wheel layouts

  • Arrange panels to your needs.

Static & Dynamic wheels

  • Static & Dynamic wheels. Static always show, and Dynamic show only in a specific aircraft.

An everyday use for static wheels would be utilities and frequently accessed widgets you always want to have available. With Dynamic wheels, you can have a specific wheel of tools per aircraft. Imagine having unique sets for a bush plane, a glider, and another for a helicopter. Tube liners too!

Toolbar Enhancement

  • Enhanced default toolbar replaces "handlebar" style. We've modded it to appear with a beautiful, fluid motion.
  • Hide the default toolbar entirely from Flow settings; you can always change your mind and bring it back if access is required.

Want to keep the default toolbar around? You can, and now it will behave more elegantly. Want to remove it entirely? You can do that too, and if you ever change your mind, you can bring it back. We've got you covered with an elegant solution, whichever way you go.
