A G3X Touch™-style EFIS plugin for X-Plane 12
The Emrelia E3X brings a G3X Touch-style touchscreen EFIS (electronic flight instrument system) to X-Plane 12. You get a primary flight display, synthetic vision, a moving map, charts, engine monitoring, flight planning, and autopilot modes. A companion plugin inside X-Plane starts it with your flight and feeds it live aircraft data.
The Emrelia E3X is an independent product of Emrelia LLC. It is not a Garmin product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Garmin Ltd. or its affiliates. G3X Touch™ is a trademark of Garmin Ltd., named here only to describe the style of display the E3X re-creates. For flight simulation use only.
How the X-Plane plugin works
The E3X is its own program, and the installer places a companion plugin in X-Plane's plugins folder to connect the two. Load an aircraft set up for the E3X and the plugin starts it in the background and feeds it live data. Quit X-Plane and the E3X closes with it, so there is nothing to launch by hand.
Pop-out windows or the 3D cockpit
On X-Plane 12.1 or later, the displays open as X-Plane pop-out windows from Plugins → Emrelia E3X, on any monitor or touchscreen. Run one display or a PFD and an MFD side by side. An optional install component also renders the E3X onto the panel of a generated, E3X-equipped Cessna 172.
Which aircraft it works with
You set up each aircraft with a small configuration file that describes its engine, radios, and autopilot. The E3X includes Skyhawk, Archer, SR22, RV-10, and twin Baron profiles, plus turboprop and jet layouts. On capable autopilots, such as a G1000 or GFC 500-class AFCS, the E3X drives the autopilot's native modes. On legacy autopilots it falls back to heading and vertical speed.
Works with your panel and navigator
The E3X mirrors the flight plan from RealityXP GTN and GNS, TDS GTNxi, or X-Plane's native FMS. It also controls your COM and NAV radios, audio panel, and transponder.
Touchscreen, mouse, or RealSimGear hardware
Touch and mouse work out of the box, and hardware is never required. The E3X reads RealSimGear bezels over USB serial, and a small panel map pairs each key and knob with its on-screen control. A ready-made map ships for the RealSimGear G500. RealSimGear G3X Touch bezel support is experimental and untested, so expect to map it yourself with the built-in discovery.

Common questions
Is there a G3X Touch-style plugin for X-Plane?
Yes. The Emrelia E3X is a G3X Touch-style touchscreen EFIS for X-Plane 12. A companion plugin connects it to the sim, and its displays open as X-Plane pop-out windows or on the 3D panel of an equipped aircraft.
Is the E3X a Garmin product?
No. It is an independent product of Emrelia LLC, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Garmin Ltd. G3X Touch™ is a trademark of Garmin Ltd. The E3X is for flight simulation only, never for real-world navigation.
Can I download it now?
Not yet. The E3X is in late development. Join the waitlist and you'll get one email the day it releases.
Does it work with X-Plane 11?
No, X-Plane 11 is not supported. The E3X runs on X-Plane 12, and the in-sim displays need X-Plane 12.1 or later.
Do I need hardware?
No. Everything a hardware bezel does, touch and mouse do too.
Does it work with the RealSimGear G3X Touch bezel?
Support is experimental, and we have not tested it on that bezel yet. The E3X reads RealSimGear bezels over USB serial and ships a ready-made map for the G500, so expect to map the G3X Touch bezel yourself.
