SimAlert keeps virtual pilots connected to live ATC coverage on VATSIM and IVAO.

2. Enter the callsign you want to track
3. Receive a notification when ATC coverage is detected
4. Tap to see live flight context and controller details

Perfect For

• Virtual pilots flying on VATSIM or IVAO
• Controllers monitoring traffic inbound to their airspace
• Streamers & communities wanting timely “ATC is online” alerts

Why SimAlert

SimAlert is a lightweight, ad-free companion app designed to enhance your online flying experience. Stay informed, reduce missed coverage, and improve immersion.

Privacy & Permissions

- Notifications: Required to deliver alerts when coverage is detected.
- Network access: Needed to fetch live data from VATSIM/IVAO and your configured backend.
- Data handling: SimAlert stores only what’s needed to deliver alerts (e.g., device token, chosen callsign and settings). No third‑party ads.

Tips & Troubleshooting

- Ensure notifications are enabled in system settings (especially on Android 13+).
- If you use battery optimization or data saver, allow SimAlert to run in the background so alerts arrive on time.
- For the most accurate controller details, keep the app updated. Information shown depends on what the network provides at that moment.
- If you don’t receive alerts, verify the callsign and that it’s online and moving toward/within a covered area.

Disclaimer

- SimAlert is an independent utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by VATSIM or IVAO.
- All network data is sourced from the respective public feeds and may change without notice.
