A map that runs on your PC. Your airplane from the sim, other airplanes, the weather, and the oceanic tracks, in one window. This page is only the download.
North Atlantic tracks, with the flights that are on them.
The airportSatellite, close enough to see the stands
Your airplaneMSFS, X-Plane, or Prepar3D, for the whole flight
TrafficLive, VATSIM, IVAO, and PilotEdge, each on its own switch
WeatherRadar, wind, and satellite on the same map
What it does
One window for the flight.
Who is on the trackClick a letter. You get the callsign, the type, and the city pair. Not just a count.
A route you can fileThe published track, plus the route that joins it. Copy it into the sim or SimBrief.
Your airplaneMSFS, X-Plane, or Prepar3D. It stays on the map from taxi to cruise.
Weather when you want itWind, radar, lightning, satellite, temperature, pressure. Off until you turn it on.
VATSIM audioTheir page, in the side rail. Meridian never sees the password.
The airportDelivery, ground, tower, and ATIS show as D, G, T, and A. Airplanes still get the click.
Airport
Your airplane, on the airport, with the other traffic.
Zoom in until the stands are visible. Live traffic, VATSIM, and IVAO can all be on the same field. If the sim is running, your airplane is there too.
Each network has its own on/off switch
You can filter by size, per network
Pausing the sim does not remove your airplane
Map
Streets, or satellite.
Light or dark map. Satellite when you want the pavement. A route you loaded stays put while you move around.
Satellite is for the airport
The track letters still show who is on them
Zooming in does not clear the route
South Atlantic
South Atlantic tracks, as published.
Same list as the North Atlantic. Click a route, copy the waypoints, and see who is already on it.
Both directions, when they publish both
All oceans at once, or just this one
Last cycle is dashed. The next cycle is dash-dot
Pacific
Pacific tracks are in the same list.
NOPAC and PACOTS when they publish them, and the West Atlantic routes. Numbered routes sit next to the Atlantic letters.
Click a route to copy it and see who is on it
Previous and next cycles look different from the current one
The oceans people actually fly are in one window
Crossing
New York to London, ready to copy.
Build a crossing and you get a published track, the levels, the route that joins it, and a string you can paste into the sim or SimBrief.
Works for a short hop and for an ocean crossing
Copy the route into SimBrief or the sim
If a flight files a track, the line follows that track
Aircraft
Pick a type. See who is flying it now.
The catalog runs from an A380 to a light aircraft. Filter by size, or type the name. Open one and you see who is airborne in it.
Photos in the catalog and on each flight
The type code or the name both work
Opening one flight does not clear the map
Tracks
Who is on the track.
The letters are the tracks. The number is how many airplanes are on that track right now. Live, VATSIM, and IVAO are counted separately. Click a letter for the callsign, the type, and the route they filed.
Click a letter to see the names
Live, VATSIM, and IVAO stay separate
The filed route is in the list
VATSIM airspace
VATSIM airspace uses the real boundaries.
Centers and approach use published shapes, not circles. On the airport, D, G, T, and A are delivery, ground, tower, and ATIS.
Turn positions on or off in Display
The station card shows the controller, time online, and the ATIS
Audio stays in the side rail after you sign in on VATSIM’s page
Procedures
The route follows the SID, not a straight line.
A pasted route or a SimBrief plan is drawn along the waypoints and airways, including the SID and STAR that were filed. It is not a straight line between the two airports.
One filed transition, not every transition in the book
A looked-up flight and an imported plan can both be on the map
Clear the imported plan when you are done
Charts
The plate, when you need it.
US FAA plates. Open one, mark it up, close it. The map is still there. US only. This is not Navigraph.
SID, STAR, approach, taxi, and minima
The current cycle is stamped on the plate
Not for navigation

Meridian is a flight-sim ops desk. Charts, tracks, weather, and traffic are not for navigation and not a substitute for official information. FAA plates in the viewer are an unofficial copy of the US book, stamped with their cycle, their name, not ours.
Not Flightradar24. Public ADS-B plus the networks.

No. This page is the download. Meridian is a Windows program. There is no button here that opens the map.
An installer. Run it and click Next. It goes in Program Files. Windows 10 or 11.
No. Live aircraft come from public ADS-B, plus VATSIM, IVAO, and PilotEdge. It will not be as full as Flightradar24.
No. Charts are US FAA plates. Meridian does not ask for a Navigraph or Jeppesen password.
No. Sign in with VATSIM opens VATSIM’s own page in the side rail. Meridian never sees the CID or the password.
No. The map works without one. If you skip it, the sign-in box comes back next time. If you sign in, it stays signed in.
Yes. The airport, the charts, and a filed route work for a short flight, not only an ocean crossing.
Yes, if you want your airplane on the map. MSFS 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 11 and 12, and Prepar3D. Settings, Simulator, installs the plugin. The rest of the program works with no sim running.
Yes. When you open it, it checks this site. If there is a newer version, it asks. You can update, or wait until next time.
