Connecting your device

To link your Xbox flight to your external device, follow these steps:

On your Xbox:

The Volanta window will display a Unique Connection Code. Enter the code displayed from within the simulator.
On your Secondary Device:

Click the button “Start a flight with code”.

Enter the code displayed from within the simulator.

Once the code is entered, the status on your Xbox panel will change to "Tracking". Your aircraft position will now appear live on your secondary device's map.

Note:The Volanta tracking window in the game must remain open. You can move the Volanta window, as long as the window is active (displayed on screen), tracking will continue. You must perform these steps each flight or anytime you open the Tracking toolbar.

Troubleshooting

The Volanta Tracking Toolbar is still being developed, this version may have issues providing a consistent tracking experience and your feedback is vital to the development. Please let us know via Discord or Support ticket about your experience.

Tracking is slow

Volanta free tier tracking uses dynamic updates that change in frequency based on what your plane is doing. For realtime tracking consider subscribing to Volanta Premium.

The tracking toolbar window is in the way, it's too small or too large

We are assessing options to make it less intrusive but the experience changes depending on screen sizes and resolutions.
Dragging the window off to the side or bottom of the screen can help obscure it. Connecting a computer mouse to your Xbox can make this easier if you are struggling with the controller. A mouse also makes it easier to resize the tracking window.

My code is not recognised

Closing and reopening the Toolbar will generate a new code if there is something wrong with the one displayed.

The toolbar shows “Link Error” or another error

Check you can access fly.volanta.app on your network, Check your Xbox is online and has internet access.

Why do I need to pay?

While Volanta on PC is free, the Marketplace version requires a one time fee, we have set this to the minimum allowed by Marketplace.
