Get Started

Connect a saved asset, confirm live telemetry, and reach the main operating view in GCS-beXStream.

Navigation: App launch > Comm Links

Before You Start

  • Make sure the target aircraft or simulator is already reachable through a saved comm-link.

  • Keep the aircraft in a safe state before connecting.

  • If more than one comm-link is available, confirm which entry belongs to the asset you want to use.

Steps

  1. Open GCS-beXStream and confirm the app starts on Comm Links.

Expected Result

The selected asset appears in Active Asset, the app opens the monitoring workspace, and live telemetry widgets begin updating.

Troubleshooting

  • If Active Asset stays empty after connecting, return to Comm Links and verify the saved IP and port.

  • If the connection drops within a few seconds, confirm the aircraft is sending MAVLink heartbeats and reconnect.

  • If Monitor opens without live data, wait a few seconds for the link to stabilize before troubleshooting stream or telemetry details.
