Bring your X-Plane 12 flights to life with realistic cargo and passenger loading simulations. SimLoad Manager integrates seamlessly with SimBrief to auto-import your flight plan and instantly set passenger and cargo counts. Watch your aircraft load in real time with progress indicators and precise time estimates—adding immersion from the moment you start your flight.
Features ✈️
⏱️ Realistic loading and unloading for passengers, cargo, and fuel - Boarding now adapts dynamically to cargo and fuel progress, minimizing waiting time inside the aircraft and ensuring a smoother turnaround
📦 Manual entry or SimBrief import for all load values
⚖️ Automatic unit detection (kg/lbs) from SimBrief – or choose manually
📊 Progress bars for each category + dynamic time estimates
⛽ Fuel loading simulation - Choose whether you wish to refuel before the rest of the operation or during it.
🎵 Ambient sounds and AI-generated voice alerts
🔊 Sounds that adapt to external/internal views
💾 Settings saved between sessions: SimBrief ID, units, timing presets
🚀 Choose between Realistic, Fast, Very Fast or Custom loading modes with one click
✈️ 100% aircraft-compatible – no weight changes, works with all add-ons - No aircraft data modified
🚚 Fully integrated with SGES: Automatically triggers stairs, belt loaders, fuel trucks, cones, and passenger flow depending on your stand type (remote, gate, or jetway)
🔄 Custom X-Plane commands: Start, Reset, Load SimBrief, etc.
🌐 Direct access to SimChecklist.eu for preflight support
🆕 📄 New Loadsheet system (SLMLS) – Generates a complete and realistic loadsheet, available once SLM has fully completed the loading process.
Installation 🛠️
- Extract the contents of the archive.
- Place the following files into the FlyWithLua/Scripts/ folder of your X-Plane installation:
SimLoadManager.lua
SimLoadManager_loadsheet.lua
- Place the entire folder below into the same directory (do not rename it):
SimLoad-Manager-Sounds
🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE STEP REQUIRED
-Only for users updating from versions prior to v1.9.0-
Before launching v1.9.0 or later, you MUST delete the file:
Resources/plugins/FlyWithLua/Modules/simload_settings.txt
This file will be automatically recreated on first launch.
Failing to delete it may cause incorrect timings or interface errors.
Prerequisites ⚠️
- FlyWithLua plugin must be installed and activated in your X-Plane setup.
- Simple Ground Equipment & Services script for automatically associated ground services
Optional but still really good 👍
