(deprecated) A desktop client for macOS which allows you to remotely control Infinite Flight on your device.

LiveFlight Connect - OS X

LiveFlight Connect for OS X allows you to control Infinite Flight on an iOS or Android device via your Mac using either joystick, keyboard, or mouse.

Uses Infinite Flight Connect, a TCP-based API introduced in version 15.10.0.

Deprecated

As of 26th February 2020, LiveFlight Connect is no longer officially supported.

The apps are still available for download and the source code is available, however, no official updates are planned, nor will support be provided for any issues.

Modifying Source

LiveFlight Connect is built in Objective-C/Swift. Objective-C is used for referencing lower-level APIs (IOHIDLib, NSStream for TCP connection, etc.) and Swift is used for manipulating the UI and handling joystick/keyboard events.

Clone the repo to start with. Connect-OSX uses submodules for third party libs. Run:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Open the project in Xcode and build it - you should be good to go!

Compatible Devices

There's no guarantee this will play perfectly with your joystick or configuration. Devices which require two USB ports need some work still. These joysticks work fine:

  • Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X
  • Logitech Extreme 3D
