Flight Tracking

Starting a flight with smartCARS 3 is automated by default. Once a flight is booked, simply start flying and tracking will begin. If you'd prefer tracking to start manually, head over to the settings and disable "start tracking automatically".

If your simulator crashes, smartCARS will provide guidance to get back to where you need to be.

Pro users have the option to restore flights. This means that smartCARS will place your aircraft back where it was and restore any tracking data, even if smartCARS, or the entire PC, crashed.

Flight Restoration

As a Pro user, if smartCARS has restarted and the reconnect dialog isn't visible, check the flight tracking page for a "Restore" button.
