FSimUK 2026: FlightControlTools Previews FlightControlReplay 6 Update for MSFS
Quick summary· AI-generated
FlightControlReplay 6, a replay utility for MSFS, will receive a free November update featuring a mobile companion app (Android/iOS) controlled via QR code pairing and four selectable UI sizes (Complete, Medium, Small, Compact) to minimize screen footprint. The update applies to existing FlightControlReplay 6 customers on both MSFS 2020 and 2024. The announcement was made at FSimUK 2026 by developer Fabio Merlo, though full details remain limited pending official release.
Excerpt from Threshold
FlightControlTools has announced a new update, scheduled for release in November, that includes remote controls for mobile devices and a more compact UI.
The announcement was made by developer Fabio Merlo during his presentation at FSimUK 2026, taking place at Aerospace Bristol this weekend.
There is still limited public information about what was shown at these presentations, aside from what the FSimUK website says, so it is currently hard to verify all the information.
FSElite reported this story first, and we are sourcing from them due to the circumstances mentioned.

According to an FSElite article, the update will introduce two new features to improve accessibility further and reduce the amount of screen space the software occupies.
FlightControlReplay 6 is a replay utility, originally showcased at FlightSimExpo 2026 and later released in August, introducing several improvements to recording, replay, and camera functionality over its predecessor, FlightControlReplay 5.
Companion App and Compact Mode
One of the two additions is a new Companion App, which will allow you to operate the program remotely, such as on an Android or iOS mobile device.
This will be done by scanning the QR code shown in the FlightControlReplay 6 program, which will open a dedicated web interface where you can control recordings and replays, similar to how Navigraph pairing works.
This will again allow users to operate the tool without keeping the main application window visible in their simulator.
The second addition, Compact Mode, reduces the interface size and the space the program occupies on your screen. The smaller interface will retain the most essential functions, such as recording, playback, and Instant Replay.
You will be able to choose among four such interfaces, “Complete”, “Medium”, “Small”, and “Compact”, depending on your preferred taste and available screen space.
During the FSimUK presentation, Merlo was also said to have demonstrated several existing features, though we cannot verify the exact contents, again due to a lack of public information.

Availability
The November update will be available free of charge to existing FlightControlReplay 6 customers, for both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024.
We do not know exactly when the release will be, aside from the mentioned month.
FlightControlReplay 6 is available for $33.61 USD (£30 EUR) from simMarket.
