Training wheels for complex airliners.
Learn the airliner, or let Albert fly it.
Albert follows your flight plan through the aircraft's own autopilot — energy, flight path, speedbrakes, flaps, gear and the mode control panel — and shows you exactly what it is doing and why. Follow its guidance, do the thing yourself, or hand it over. Disengage at any time.

What Albert does
01 / CAPABILITIESFlies through the real autopilot
Albert works the MCP and the CDU the way you would. Nothing is overridden behind the scenes — LNAV and VNAV stay in charge.
Says why, not just what
Every recommended action carries its reasoning: the limit, the level, the constraint it came from. The autopilot stops being a black box.
Manages the energy
It watches the vertical path and calls high and fast early, and it will use the speedbrake — the part the aeroplane will not do for you.
Monitor, Advise, Auto
Three levels of help, changeable mid-flight and per layer. Watch it, take its advice, or hand the leg over — and take it back whenever you like.
The whole configuration on one page
Flaps, speedbrake, thrust, gear and the tuned nav radios in one place, instead of hunting across six panels in the virtual cockpit.
Runs on the glass you already own
It is a web page. Put it on the iPad clamped to the yoke, on a second monitor, or on the laptop beside the rig.
Built for the PMDG 777
02 / THE AIRFRAMEOne airframe, done properly, before anything else. Albert knows the 777's autoflight modes, its energy behaviour and its configuration schedule — not a generic airliner model bent to fit.

How it connects
03 / TOPOLOGYYour sim PC
MSFS 2024 and the PMDG 777, plus Albert Link — a small app that talks to the sim over SimConnect. Install once.
Your own network
Albert Link serves the interface on your home network. Nothing about your flight needs to leave the house.
Whatever you read it on
An iPad, a second monitor, another computer in the room. No install on that end — just open the page.
System requirements
04What's coming
05In the order I am working on it. I will not put dates on any of it.
Gate to gate in the 777-200ER and -300ER, with the full Aviate, Navigate and Operate pages.
More PMDG airframes, and approach coaching that stays with you to the flare.
Clearances read into the plan, and deliberate failure scenarios to fly against.
Join the beta.
Albert is free during early beta. Leave your email and I will send you the installer link, then a short note whenever there is a new build or a known issue worth knowing about. Nothing else, and you can leave at any time.
The installer link comes by email rather than sitting on this page — that is the only way to keep the tester list real.
Where the testers talk
Bug reports, workarounds, what broke on last night's build, and arguments about descent planning. This is where Albert actually gets fixed.

07 / FAQIs this cheating?+
Only if using the autopilot is. Albert drives the same MCP you would drive, and it tells you what it is pressing and why — which is rather the opposite of hiding the aeroplane from you.
Will it stay free?+
It is free through early beta. I have not decided what happens after that, and I will tell the beta list before anything changes rather than after.
Does it need an internet connection?+
Albert Link serves the interface from your sim PC over your own network. Details of what does and does not go outside the house are documented in the build notes.
What if I want to fly the leg myself?+
Put it in Monitor and it will sit there and comment. Every layer is independent, so you can hand over the descent and keep the radios, or the reverse.
Other aircraft?+
The 777 first, properly, before anything else. Tell me on Discord which airframe you want next — that is genuinely how the order gets decided.
