The Settings screen lets you configure FlyAround’s behavior, audio, streaming overlay, and AI assistant options.
Opening Settings

System Tab
General Settings

Local Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Parking Mode | Toggle parking behavior on/off |
| Ground Handling | GSX (GSX ground services add-on) or SIM (default simulator ground handling) |
| Announcements | Toggle individual cabin/ground announcement types on or off |
| Volume Controls | Adjust audio levels for different announcement categories |
Ground Handling — GSX vs SIM: If you use the GSX add-on for pushback and boarding, set this to “GSX” so FlyAround correctly tracks those ground phases. Use “SIM” for default MSFS ground services.
