FFB-Bridge Pro

Separate Pro documentation

These pages describe the separate invite-only Pro beta. Free 1.5.1 does not unlock Cockpit Web, Voice Tune, Profile History or Pro licensing. Aircraft Library’s reference reader is a Free feature; saved AirframeDB workspaces and notes are not part of this release.

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.

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

Use English voice or typed commands to adjust the feel, clarify ambiguous requests and undo a change. The interface is available in English, German and Simplified Chinese; voice recognition and command understanding are English-only for this release.

One place for your profiles

Discover profiles on AirframeDB, inspect authors and revisions, and try a profile as B. Local history and private account recovery preserve versions and personal changes.

Return to the moment

Choose automatic local recording, mark moments with your own notes and reopen flights without the simulator. Compare model results for the same recorded inputs; save to your account or share a selected clip when you choose.

Know your aircraft

Bring sourced aircraft facts, references, personal notes and collections into Cockpit through an explicit AirframeDB connection. Public aircraft discovery and the website My Hangar remain free.

Make the setup yours

Manage device roles, routing and supported hardware settings alongside effective force curves. Available controls follow the connected hardware and platform.

Windows, Linux and macOS interfaces are planned together. Native game-force routing and FSX/Prepar3D are Windows-only; hardware capabilities differ by platform.

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.

Free and Pro use separate application data. Profiles can be transferred deliberately, while Pro licensing, voice models and history stay in the Pro data folder. Both apps can be installed, but only one application should own a force-feedback device at a time.

When the Pro app goes online

Local tuning and saved flight review work without a simulator or cloud connection. Cockpit connects to your desktop over your local network. Account features connect only when you enable or use them.

  • Pro licence activation, refresh, recovery, and deactivation.
  • A one-time Voice Tune recognition-model download.
  • Support submissions and diagnostic uploads that you explicitly send.
  • Online profiles, account recovery, optional flight storage and your connected AirframeDB workspace.

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.
