XRemoteFMC provides remote access to the default flight management computer in X-Plane 10. XRemoteFMC can be accessed via any modern browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, etc.). It should also work on tablets and other mobile devices. The XRemoteFMC utility is currently in the beta phase, meaning it has not been fully tested and may not be full-featured. [Download XRemoteFMC @ X-Plane.org]
