In-Sim

The PACXBridge software facilitates direct integration with the simulator and select third party aircraft. To determine if PACXBridge is functioning properly, check to see if the “PACX” menu item exists under the “Add-ons” menu in your simulator.

If PACX is not running, an “Launch PACX” option should be available. This will start PACX directly from the simulator. Once PACX is open, more menu items will become available.

The four menu items will open PACX (if it has been minimized to the system tray), activate the vocal interaction, open the interaction menu, or open the PACX in-simulator HUD. In addition to its default features, PACXBridge adds additional in-cockpit integration to the following aircraft:

• TFDi Design 717
• Quality Wings 787
• PMDG 737NGX
• PMDG 737NGXu
• PMDG 747QOTSII
• PMDG 777
• FSLabs Airbus
• Aerosoft Airbus

In these aircraft, pressing the appropriate cabin/PA buttons will begin a vocal interaction in PACX, allowing for an immersive public address to be made. PMDG aircraft requires enabling of their SDK data broadcast for in-cockpit integration to work.

PACXBridge also provides native seatbelt sign control to the products mentioned above, as well as many other aircraft, and can display in-sim messages (if enabled).

PACX HUD

PACXBridge provides an in-sim overlay called PACX HUD. Via this overlay, you can see passenger satisfaction, estimated departure or arrival time, and a dynamic text field on the right. The dynamic field will show information like in-flight service, flight phase, incident status, or other relevant data.

When the window is large enough, an interaction box will be shown to the right of the dynamic text. Via this box, you can use the up, down, back, next, and send buttons to interact with the passengers and crew without leaving the simulator.

The HUD can be toggled via the in-sim menu (if applicable) or by right-clicking the PACX icon in the system tray and selecting “Toggle HUD”.
