It displays a tablet like computer with a few apps in the cockpit and is mainly used for flying in virtual reality. But is also very handy in windowed mode, with integrations such as Zibo's B737-800X, it truly enhances the flight experience with a fully functioning EFB in the virtual cockpit.\n\n![](screenshots/launcher.jpg)\n\n## Purpose\nWhen flying in a simulator, one often needs to lookup details in PDF charts, plane manuals,\nchecklists or other documents. Using a PDF reader breaks the immersion because the virtual aviator\neither has to take off of their HMD or use other tools that can move windows into VR.\n\nAviTab tries to solve this problem by offering a PDF reader inside a native plugin for X-Plane.\nUsing a plugin also opens possibilites for more apps inside the tablet, for example to display information\nabout the plane status or aid in navigation.\n\n## Features\nLet the screenshots speak! Note that these were taken using the standalone version for better resolution,\nbut all of this is available right inside your VR cockpit.\n\n![](screenshots/charts.jpg)\n![](screenshots/map.jpg)\n![](screenshots/airports.jpg)\n\nMore screenshots here: [Screenshots](screenshots/)\n\n## Installation\n\n* Download the latest release from the [release page](https://github.com/fpw/avitab/releases/latest)\n* Extract the archive and move the folder into your ``X-Plane/Resources/Plugins`` directory\n* Start X-Plane\n* Find a new menu inside the ``plugins`` directory to toggle the tablet\n* Optionally, you can assign a key for this command (I prefer the right-hand lower trigger)\n\n## Usage\n\n### General\nWhen hovering over the edges of the tablet from a short distance, X-Plane will display green bars around the tablet.\nThe _upper_ bar can be used to grab the window and move it around inside the cockpit.\n\n### Charts Viewer\nThe charts viewer displays PDF files inside the ``charts/`` subdirectory of the ``plugin/`` directoy. You can add your\ncharts there, including subdirectories.\n\n## Limitations\n\n* PDFs containing [CJK fonts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CJK_fonts)\n  or ancient fonts such [Linear B](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_B) are not supported.\n  This is mainly due to font sizes - a version containing all fonts would be 40 Megabytes in size.\n\n## Compiling\n\nSee [Compiling](https://github.com/fpw/avitab/wiki/Compiling) in the Wiki.\n\n## Donate\nIf you like AviTab and want to support its further development, you can donate.\n\n[![Donate](https://img.shields.io/badge/Donate-PayPal-green.svg)](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations\u0026business=folke%2ewill%40gmail%2ecom\u0026lc=US\u0026item_name=AviTab\u0026no_note=0\u0026cn=Message%20to%20the%20developer%3a\u0026no_shipping=1\u0026currency_code=EUR\u0026bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffpw%2Favitab","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffpw%2Favitab","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffpw%2Favitab/lists"}
