Current release. FFB-Bridge v1.2.0 is live. These docs track the current app described by the release manifest. If a section reads stale, flag it via the feedback form.

FFB-Bridge Pro

FFB-Bridge Pro is a superset of the free app. It keeps the same force-feedback engine, simulator connections, device handling, profiles, and diagnostics — then adds four Pro-gated workflows: Cockpit Web, Voice Tune, Profile History, and Pro licensing.

Pro is in beta

Pro ships as a separate app from the free build and is currently invite-only. These pages describe FFB-Bridge Pro 1.2.0-beta.1. If something here doesn't match what you see, tell us through the feedback form.

What Pro adds

Pro License

Activate, refresh, deactivate, and recover your Pro entitlement. Unlocks the other Pro pages.

Cockpit Web

Tune from a phone, tablet, or second browser on the same network while you fly. A/B drafts, calm presets, live force read-outs.

Voice Tune

Local push-to-talk tuning. Speak or type plain-language commands; recognition runs on your machine.

Profile History

Automatic rollback snapshots taken before Pro tuning or cockpit saves overwrite a profile.

Free and Pro are separate installs

The Pro app is intentionally separate from the free app. It installs as FFB-Bridge Pro, with its own application data folder (ffb-bridge-pro), distinct from the free app's ffb-bridge folder.

There is no automatic copy-forward from free data into Pro. Your beta state, Pro licence, Voice Tune settings and models, failed-phrase logs, and profile history stay separate from a stable free install. You can run both side by side.

When the Pro app goes online

Pro is local-first. After setup, Cockpit Web and Voice Tune recognition run entirely on your machine. The app contacts FFB-Bridge services only for:

  • Pro licence activation, refresh, recovery, and deactivation.
  • A one-time Voice Tune recognition-model download.
  • Beta feedback submission and support-bundle upload.
  • Opening your beta tester page on the website.

Unlocking Pro

Every Pro feature requires an active Pro entitlement. A locked page routes you back to the Pro License page, where you activate or refresh. Start there: Pro License.
