GateToGate is new. The current release is Early access v0.1. It flies complete flights from gate to gate today, but it has not seen every airport, aircraft and situation yet, so please expect some rough edges.
Most tested. The FlyByWire A32NX is the aircraft it has flown the most.
Less tested. The other aircraft, unusual airports and rare failures have had less time in the sim.
Updated often. Fixes arrive as updates you install with one click, and your settings are kept.
Tell us what breaks. The Send logs button packages what happened on a flight so it can be fixed.
Aircraft
GateToGate is built around the Airbus A320 family today. Each aircraft has its own profile, so it is flown by its own procedures and not by a one-size-fits-all autopilot.
Airbus A320neo. The default MSFS 2024 aircraft. Nothing extra to install.
FlyByWire A32NX. The free FlyByWire A320. This is the aircraft GateToGate is tuned on first, and it lands with autoland.
FlyByWire A380X. The free FlyByWire A380.
More aircraft are coming.
We are adding aircraft one profile at a time, starting with the rest of the default MSFS 2024 fleet. Helicopters are planned after that.
Tell us which aircraft you want next.
Setup
You plan and load flights exactly as you do now. GateToGate adds one button.
Install GateToGate. Run the installer. Leave “Start with MSFS 2024” and “Add the toolbar panel” ticked.
Start the sim. GateToGate starts with it and waits quietly in the system tray, next to the clock.
Plan the flight the normal way. Use the World Map, or load a SimBrief plan. Adding your SimBrief username in settings is optional.
Load in at the gate. Cold and dark is fine. GateToGate reads the route from the sim.
Open the GateToGate panel in the MSFS toolbar. It lists anything that needs fixing before departure and tells you how.
Press Engage. It handles the rest, through to engine shutdown at the arrival gate.
Taking over
Press M at any point to fly the aircraft yourself. Press Resume to hand it back, and GateToGate picks the flight up from where the aircraft is.
Flying a FlyByWire aircraft
Start FlyByWire SimBridge before you load the flight.
Performance
GateToGate is a separate program that runs alongside the sim. It draws nothing inside MSFS apart from its small toolbar panel, so the cost to your frame rate is close to zero.
Frame rate. No extra scenery, effects or aircraft systems are loaded into the sim.
In the background. It runs in the system tray and closes itself when the sim closes.
Long flights. Speed the cruise up to 16×, then drop back to real time for the descent.
