Public 0.9.x preview firmware is available for both devices. Hardware and stability validation continue. Live data and route details depend on provider coverage and internet access.
LOCAL BY DESIGN
Your display.
Your sky.
No subscription, account or activation. PlaneSlate processes flight data and renders the screen on your device, without a PlaneSlate server in between.
Your library stays local.
Liveries are stored on your device. Firmware updates are manual. Automatic content updates can be controlled in settings.
Explore liveries ↗Sharing is optional.
Missing-data reporting is voluntary and controlled in settings. It reports aircraft type, airline ICAO and, when available, aircraft registration for checking assignments in Admin, without your location or flight history.
GOOD TO KNOW
Before you begin.
Which devices can I set up today?
Micro and Mini both have public preview firmware. Use the Web Installer in desktop Chrome or Edge, then configure Wi-Fi and your location over USB. Choose the exact hardware listed in the device guide.
Is there a subscription or required PlaneSlate server connection?
No. PlaneSlate has no subscription, account or activation requirement. Your device processes flight data and renders its display locally, so everyday operation does not depend on a PlaneSlate server. Supporting the project is entirely voluntary and does not unlock features or liveries.
Does local operation mean no internet is needed?
Live flight data comes directly from your selected flight-data provider, which may require internet access and its own credentials or terms. There is no PlaneSlate server between your device and its flight-data source.
Does every flight have complete information?
No. Airline, route, registration and telemetry depend on the received data and available mappings. Missing values are shown as unavailable. The website examples use demonstration data.
