We have exciting news for all virtual pilots!
From now on, you can compete on Bomberace.com not only from a real aircraft, but also directly from your home flight simulator — with exactly the same experience.
You’ll use the same iOS or Android app that real pilots use when flying actual missions. Same mission creation, same rules, same scoring — no differences.
✈️ Supported simulators
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
- Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX)
- X-Plane 10, 11, and 12 (require configuration) *
- How does it work?
To connect your simulator with the mobile Bomberace app, we’ve created a lightweight desktop companion: BomberaceSim ( https://bomberace.com/downloads/BomberaceSimSetup.exe )
It:
- reads your aircraft’s position, altitude, speed, and heading directly from the simulator
- sets the simulator’s UTC time to the correct real-world value
- sends live flight data from the simulator to the Bomberace mobile app over your local network — allowing the app to fully believe you’re flying for real
In the mobile app, you’ll see all the usual features:
- live tracking visible on www.bomberace.com/livemap
- automatic bombsight
- bomb releases
- impact evaluation
- maps, targets, missions — everything exactly as in real-world Bomberace flights
Competitions marked “🕹️ SIM”
- These are dedicated for simulator flying — results are counted in separate leaderboards.
- You can fly, practice, or race against other sim pilots anytime, from anywhere.
Why try Bomberace in a simulator?
- you compete exactly as in a real aircraft
- you can train accuracy and tactics with no cost and no limits
- you get the same experience as real Bomberace pilots
- improve your score anytime without needing real flying time
- perfect preparation for real-world competitions
How to start?
