Introduction
Welcome to the SSC-Tracker help page. Here you'll find all the information you need to get started with SSC-Tracker.
SSC-Tracker.org is a community and hobby project created by flight simulation enthusiasts. The service is free to use, but I cannot guarantee the permanent functionality of these services. In the event of misuse, ssc-tracker.org reserves the right to restrict or completely discontinue the services.
SSC-Tracker is an add-on for tracking multiplayer group flights with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. You download the SSC-Tracker client via this link, connect it to MSFS, and it transmits your aircraft data to ssc-tracker.org using your ID. Any member of your group can see your aircraft on a map together with your flight data.
To display the aircraft on a map, tools other than the SSC-Tracker Map can also be used, such as Little Navmap or the B21 Task Planner. SSC-Tracker supports both its own format and the Whazzup data format v1.
SSC-Tracker works with all aircraft types but is optimized and includes specific features for glider task flights. It also has deep integration and compatibility with the B21 Task Planner.
Credits: The idea for SSC-Tracker is based on the virtualflight.online tool by Jonathan Beckett, but has been completely rewritten. Much of the work is also based on B21's Soaring Task Engine and tools, with support from the SSC and MSFS Sim Gliding Community.
Quick Start
Get up and running quickly with these simple steps.
- Download SSC-Tracker and extract it to a folder.
-
Run SSC-Tracker.exe, confirm the security notice for the app and allow port 55055 through the firewall — SSC-Tracker will not work otherwise.
Enter the following details:- Pilot Name: Your name or nickname.
- Pilot ID: A short, unique ID within your flight group (no special characters or spaces).
- Group: A short, unique ID for your flight group — you will only see aircraft from this group (no special characters or spaces).
- SSC-Tracker automatically connects to MSFS and transmits your flight to the server (blinks green). If no flight simulator is running, SSC-Tracker operates in viewer mode, displaying the currently configured group without transmitting your flight data (blinks yellow).
- Open SSC-Tracker.org in a browser to view the aircraft of your flight group.
Moving Maps & Setup
Connection Options
SSC-Tracker has a built-in web server with various options for retrieving flight data for the tools of your choice. All connection options in various formats can be found on the setup page of the SSC-Tracker app.
For reference or copy-and-paste:
www.ssc-tracker.org Map
When you open www.ssc-tracker.org on your local PC, it automatically connects to the running SSC-Tracker app on the same PC.
If you want to display the map on a second PC or tablet, open a browser there and go to http://[IP SIM PC]:55055/map.
Open www.ssc-tracker.org and enter your group name to display the flight group.
(Scale UI +/−, dock left or top, show/hide aircraft data)

- Clicked waypoint is highlighted on the map
SSC-Tracker MiniFC
The SSC-Tracker Mini Flight Computer (MiniFC) is a compact display instrument for MSFS. It shows flight and task information for gliders that do not have their own LX navigation computer in the virtual cockpit.
The MiniFC is a work in progress.
The MiniFC can be accessed in a browser at http://localhost:55055/minifc.
Display Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| MC | MacCready value [m/s] – calculated optimal speed-to-fly |
| Speed | Recommended speed-to-fly (IAS) [kn] |
| Vario | Variometer – climb/sink rate [m/s] |
| Wind | Wind direction and speed |
| Task | Next waypoint, distance, task speed |
Operation
- Click on display: Depending on the field (e.g. increase/decrease MC value).
- Scaling: Automatically adapts to window size.
MSFS In-Game Panel
When the SSC-Tracker FC Panel is installed (see MSFS Ingame SSC-Tracker-FC), the MiniFC is displayed directly in the MSFS cockpit on a panel. It is loaded internally via an iFrame on port 55055/minifc.
Lag / Update Rate
The MiniFC updates data approximately every 1 second from the local web server. A minimal lag of under 1 second is inherent to the system.
Elevation
SSC-Tracker includes a built-in elevation data service that uses SRTM tiles (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, 30 m resolution). The tiles are automatically downloaded and cached locally.
How It Works
- When a task is loaded and "Elevation Auto-Load" is active, SSC-Tracker automatically downloads the required SRTM tiles for the route area.
- After downloading, the elevation profile along the route is calculated.
- The profile is then available for the map and the Preflight.
Note on first start: On the first load of a task the SRTM tiles need to be downloaded. Depending on your internet connection this may take a few seconds to a few minutes. From the second load onwards, the cached tiles are used immediately.
Elevation Profile in the Map
In the SSC-Tracker Map the elevation profile can be toggled via the ⛰ symbol. It shows:
- Terrain elevation [m] along the route
- Waypoint markers (start, turn points, finish)
- Total distance [km] on the X axis
Elevation Profile in Preflight
In Preflight the elevation profile is shown in a dedicated view below the map. In addition to the task route, the user route can also be displayed there with its elevation profile.
Managing the Cache
Downloaded SRTM tiles are stored in the DEM subfolder of the task folder. Each tile covers one degree of latitude × one degree of longitude and is approximately 25 MB uncompressed. With many different regions flown, the cache can grow noticeably.
The tiles can be deleted at any time without risk — SSC-Tracker will automatically re-download them on the next task start.
Open the cache folder: On the SSC-Tracker App setup page, click the label "Tile cache: X MB". This opens the DEM folder directly in Windows Explorer, where individual or all .hgt and .hgt.gz files can be manually deleted.
Status Query
The current status of the elevation data service can be queried at http://localhost:55055/elevation/status.
Task Flightplan
SSC-Tracker has a function for distributing task/flight plan data (.pln) and/or weather presets (.wpr) for each group. When a task is available for the group, it is automatically downloaded and saved in the app's task folder.
Tasksetter
For this function the task setter must first create a group with a secret (8). Click this symbol: 
Upload .pln (9) and optionally .wpr (10) files, along with a short info/URL (11) with symbol (5) for your group.
All options and instructions for creating B21 task files can be found in the help section of the B21 Task Planner.
Task setters can reset task progress (7) or delete the task for the group on the upload page (6).
Pilots
Click the reload icon if you want to force a task download. Otherwise SSC-Tracker automatically checks every minute for new shared group flight plans/task data and downloads them to the app folder. If you enable "Copy task files" on the setup page, .wpr and .pln files will also be copied to the MSFS default folders for weather presets and flight plans.
Click Map to open the map with the flight plan, or click "Task Planner" to open the current task in the B21 Task Planner instead.
If no group task is available, SSC-Tracker attempts to load the .pln from MSFS. Alternatively you can manually upload a .pln for a single flight into SSC-Tracker.
SSC-Tracker automatically tracks task progress for the entire group and displays it on ssc-tracker.org like a live scoreboard. Task progress is only available on the ssc-tracker.org map.
If you need to reset your task progress after a restart, click the reset button to reset your task progress as well.
Ghost Flights
The Ghost feature lets you replay a glider flight recorded by the NB21 Logger from an IGC log file as an AI aircraft in MSFS. The ghost flies the recorded route as a second aircraft in the simulator — ideal for comparing your own performance or practising a familiar route.
What is an IGC File?
IGC is the standard format for GPS flight recordings from physical flight loggers (e.g. LX Nav, Flarm, Zander). The file contains second-by-second GPS positions, altitudes, and optionally task/waypoint information.
Loading a Ghost
- In the SSC-Tracker App, click the button for manually loading a .pln — the file dialog opens.
- Instead of a .pln file, select an .igc file.
- SSC-Tracker loads the IGC log, extracts the task, and displays a new Ghost tab in the main window.
- The Ghost tab shows the information about the recording:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Logger | Type and firmware of the flight logger |
| Glider | Glider type and class |
| Callsign / Name | Competition registration and pilot name |
| Start time | Start time of the flight (UTC) |
| End time | End time of the flight (UTC) |
| Trackpoints | Number of GPS points in the recording |
| Task time | Task time from start to finish |
| Speed avg. | Average task speed |
| Flown/tsk dis. | Distance flown (total / task) |
Activating the Ghost
- Start MSFS and fly your own aircraft normally to the task start point.
- In the Ghost tab, click "Show Ghost".
- Select the aircraft model for the ghost from the dropdown list (shows installed MSFS aircraft).
- The ghost appears as an AI aircraft in the simulator and begins playing back the recorded flight when you cross the start line.
Note: MSFS must be connected and your own aircraft must be positioned at the start before the ghost is activated.
Time Offset (Diff Time)
The Diff Time field lets you set the time offset between your flight and the ghost:
- Value 1 = Ghost starts simultaneously with you.
- Higher values = Ghost starts x seconds after the original's task start. This lets you synchronise to a specific point in the recorded flight — for example if you are flying too far ahead of or behind the ghost.
The maximum value corresponds to the total task time of the loaded IGC log.
Ghost on the Map
When the ghost is active, it appears in the SSC-Tracker Map as an additional aircraft with its own symbol. This lets you compare your current flight directly with the recorded route.
Deactivating the Ghost
In the Ghost tab, disable "Show Ghost" — the AI aircraft is removed from the simulator.
Ghost HUD on the Map
When a ghost is active and the "It's a Race!" setting is enabled, the SSC-Tracker Map automatically shows a small Ghost HUD and a virtual route. It displays the ghost pilot's name along with the current time offset and allows fine-tuning directly during the flight — without switching back to the app:
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| < 5s | Shift ghost 5 seconds backwards (ghost flies earlier in the task) |
| = sync | Automatically synchronise ghost to your current task time |
| 5s > | Shift ghost 5 seconds forwards (ghost flies later in the task) |
The HUD is freely positionable and scalable.
Chase Mode – "It's a race!"
Chase Mode is a graphical radar HUD in the SSC-Tracker Map that enables direct comparison with another pilot — whether with a ghost or a real group member in live multiplayer. It shows in real time where the target aircraft is relative to you.
Activating
Enable Chase Mode in the Settings of the SSC-Tracker Map: turn on the "It's a race!" switch.
The Chase HUD appears on the map and automatically selects the nearest or most relevant fellow pilot as the target. Clicking on a pilot in the aircraft table allows manual target selection. Clicking the same pilot again cancels the manual selection.
Chase HUD Display
The Chase HUD consists of two parts:
1. Radar Panel (centred HUD window)
The HUD shows the target aircraft as a glider graphic on a crosshair:
- Horizontal position: Relative bearing to the target aircraft — left means the target is to your left, right accordingly.
- Vertical position: Relative altitude — the target is at the top of the HUD when it is flying higher, at the bottom when lower.
- Aircraft graphic: Shows the target aircraft from the front or back (depending on direction).
- Red line: Direction to the next task waypoint.
- Altitude: Altitude difference between you and the target [ft/m].
- Distance: Distance to the target [nm/km].
- Speed: Ground speed difference [kn/km/h]. Positive = you are faster.
- LED Trend indicator (coloured dot, top right):
- Green – you are catching up (distance decreasing)
- Red – you are falling behind (distance increasing)
- Grey – neutral equilibrium
2. Task Progress Strip (narrow bar at the edge)
A vertical strip shows the entire task as a line with waypoint markers:
- Green marker – your current position on the route
- White marker – position of the target aircraft on the route
This makes it immediately clear who is further ahead on the route.
Chase Mode with Ghost
Chase Mode also works with an active ghost flight. The ghost aircraft is treated like a normal pilot and automatically appears as the chase target as soon as "It's a race!" is enabled. This lets you compare your flight in real time with the recorded performance of the original.
MSFS Ingame SSC-Tracker Panel
The SSC-Tracker App includes the SSC-Tracker-Panel.zip. If you want to display the ssc-tracker.org map in-game, install the panel via the SSC-Tracker App setup page into your MSFS Community folder and restart MSFS.
The panel loads the SSC-Tracker Map (localhost:55055/map) directly in the MSFS cockpit and shows all group members on the map. All map functions (scaling, data table, etc.) are also available in the panel.
Installation
- On the SSC-Tracker App setup page, click "Install Panel".
- Restart MSFS.
- In the cockpit, activate the SSC-Tracker Panel from the panel bar menu.
Note on Coherent GT
The panel uses Coherent GT as the browser engine (MSFS-internal). There are limitations compared to a normal browser — particularly with certain CSS effects.
MSFS Ingame SSC-Tracker-FC
The SSC-Tracker Mini Flight Computer (FC) is a separate in-game panel for gliders without their own LX navigation computer in the virtual cockpit.
Installation
Same as the SSC-Tracker Panel: install via the setup page into the MSFS Community folder and restart MSFS. The FC panel is a standalone panel independent of the map panel.
Display Fields
The MiniFC shows the following values in the cockpit:
- MacCready (MC): Calculated optimal speed-to-fly in m/s.
- Speed-to-fly: Recommended IAS based on the MC value.
- Vario: Current climb/sink rate in m/s.
- Wind: Wind direction and wind speed.
- Next waypoint: Name and distance in nm.
- Task speed: Average speed since the start line in kn.
Operation in the Cockpit
- Click on the MC value to increase or decrease the MacCready value.
- The panel scales automatically to the panel size.
Specification / API
Understanding the Data Format and API
To retrieve data from a third-party app or website, you need a running SSC-Tracker App. SSC-Tracker acts as a proxy to ensure the ssc-tracker.org server is not overloaded.
You can access tracker data via the default port 55055 on localhost. From another device on the local network, access is possible via http://[IP SIM PC]:55055 — for this SSC-Tracker must be run as Administrator.
All endpoints respond via HTTP (HTTPS is currently not implemented). CORS headers are set so that web pages can access them directly.

This website contains links to external third-party websites, the content of which I have no influence over. Therefore, I cannot assume any liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for the content of linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. No illegal content was apparent at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without specific indications of a legal violation. Upon notification of legal violations, I will remove such links immediately.
