Flight Setup
Load OFP and verify the flight
Start here. Load SimBrief, check the route, fuel, gate, and advisory summary before starting flight watch.
Load OFP
Load OFP from saved SimBrief settings.
Flight Watch State
ACARS is green when OFP is loaded and automation is active.
Mini Loadsheet
Advisory Flags
Flight Watch
Dispatcher console
Main in-flight page. Shows what AALD is watching, what message is next, and why something did or did not send.
Flight Watch Status
Fast readout for what AALD thinks is happening and what to check when something does not send.
Pilot flow: load OFP → confirm Hoppie/VATSIM → let Flight Watch work → use Diagnostics only when something breaks.
Automation explanation
Dispatch Center
Save Hoppie once in Setup. Callsign comes from SimBrief. Flight watch sends TELEX without tapping.

Message Library
The dispatcher uses this same library when a delay, MX, ATC, ride, gate, or cabin/customer-service message makes sense for the schedule/phase.

Settings Backup / Restore
Use this before every new upload. Tap EXPORT SETTINGS, copy the code, upload the new version, then paste it here and tap IMPORT SETTINGS.
Arrival Gate Sheet
Arrival gates only. Expanded for A Pilot’s Life V2-style flying. These are editable approximate AA/common gate ranges.
Troubleshooting / Error Finder
Shows failures, skipped messages, missing variables, and system state. Copy this when something breaks so we can fix the exact cause fast.
Automation Timeline
Shows planned sends and skipped items. This is the first place to check if a message went at the wrong time.
Diversion Airport Database
Internal diversion database. Pilot-facing AALD messages only return three airport options — no tier wording.
Airport lookup
AALD Brain Simulator
Type a fake pilot free-text message here. Nothing is sent to Hoppie. Free text is treated like a dispatcher conversation, not a premade template, unless an operational format is absolutely required.
Message Editor
Pick any built-in AALD message, edit it, send a test TELEX, then save the version you like.
