Versions:
Volanta, developed by Orbx Simulation Systems Pty Ltd, is a lightweight Windows client designed to serve sim pilots as a centralized smart flight tracker that automatically imports, records, and displays every virtual flight performed across Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, Prepar3D, and FSX. Once installed, the application silently monitors simulator output, logging departure and arrival airports, route, aircraft type, flight time, fuel burn, and landing rate, then presents the information on a global map that can be filtered by aircraft, airline, or time period. Pilots can review individual flights, watch instant replays of approaches, compare personal statistics, and share sessions with friends through built-in social features, while virtual airlines can embed the same map on their websites to showcase fleet activity. The tracker also adds gamification by awarding badges for milestones such as oceanic crossings or short-field landings, and it supports the creation of custom fleets so users can assign tail numbers and maintenance cycles to favored aircraft. Version 1.4.14 refines map tile caching, reduces background CPU usage, and introduces dark-mode charts, continuing a three-release cycle that has progressively added cloud storage for flight logs, Discord Rich Presence, and SimBrief integration. Because Volanta operates as an unobtrusive overlay, it is equally suited to casual hobbyists who simply want an automatic logbook and to hardcore enthusiasts who compete on leaderboards or manage multi-leg tours. The program is categorized within simulation utilities and requires only a free Orbx account to activate. Volanta is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
