Airsoft Force Tracking brings together a wide range of features designed to support coordination, awareness, and control on the battlefield. Every tool in the app exists for a reason – to reduce chaos, improve communication, and help teams and organizers focus on the game itself.
While AFT offers many advanced capabilities, not all of them are needed in every scenario. Below, we highlight the key features that define the core experience and are most commonly used during real airsoft events.
Each of them is built to be practical, intuitive, and easy to integrate into your gameplay – whether you’re running a small team operation or managing a large, multi-army event.

Session — Your mission starts here. Join an ongoing operation, create a brand new session, or explore AFT with a demo game – no setup required. If you’re running the show, this is your command center: define armies, manage players, configure scenarios, attach QR codes to field objectives, set up Meshtastic comms, and keep full control of how the game unfolds.

Current Scenario — The scenario is live — and so is this screen. Tap here to see exactly what’s happening in the current mission: a bomb ticking down, armies competing for points, or any other objective your game administrator has set in motion. The view adapts automatically to whatever scenario is active, so every player always knows what’s at stake.

Find Coordinates — Precision matters. Search any location by GCS or MGRS coordinates — the same formats used on radio and in the field. Whether you’re calling in a position or navigating to a grid reference, AFT speaks the language.

Search – Never lose track of what matters. Search for players and markers by army, unit type, or role — and jump straight to their position on the map. Useful after a respawn, during a push, or anytime you need to locate a specific unit fast.

Ruler – Measure before you move. Draw a line on the map and get the distance instantly — useful for estimating travel time, coordinating flanks, or checking whether a position is within range. No mental math, no guessing.

Show Compass – Toggle a full dial compass overlay on your map screen. Useful in dense terrain or when you need a quick bearing without switching apps. Tap once to show, tap again to hide.

Layers – Shape the battlefield. Add and manage vector overlays directly on the map — draw zones, mark boundaries, define areas of operation. As a session administrator, you can publish your layers live so every player sees the updated map in real time, the moment you make a change.

Change Map – Switch terrain on demand. Choose from online maps or import an offline one when you’re operating beyond cell coverage. If the session administrator has added a recommended offline map, it shows up at the top of the list — ready to load with a single tap.

Your Team – Find your squad. Browse the teams available in your army and jump in — or if you’re already part of one, check its name, access code, and how many soldiers are fighting under the same banner. Coordination starts before the first shot is fired.

Show Teams / Show Players – Two ways to read the battlefield. Show Teams reduces the map to team-level icons — cleaner, faster, better for big operations. Show Players brings back individual positions so you can track every friendly unit. Switch between them on the fly depending on what the moment demands.

Define Myself – Tell the army who you are. Assign your rank and unit type — infantry, recon, medic, whatever your role on the field. Your icon on the map updates instantly, so teammates and commanders always know what they’re looking at.

Scan QR Code – The field comes alive. Scan QR codes placed by the game master to trigger mission events — pick up intel, activate objectives, or unlock scenario-specific actions. No additional hardware, no apps to switch — just point and scan.

Meshtastic – No GSM signal? No problem. When cellular coverage drops, AFT switches to Meshtastic — a radio mesh network that keeps basic position data flowing between players. Tap here to check connection status and manage your Meshtastic setup for the current session.

Your Feedback – Got an idea? Found a bug? Want to see something built? Your feedback directly shapes what gets developed next. AFT is a solo-built project — every message counts.

Settings – Tune AFT to match how you play. Adjust location update frequency, display preferences, connectivity options, and more — everything that makes the app work exactly the way you need it in the field.

About AFT – The story behind the app. Learn what Airsoft Force Tracking is, where it came from, and what it’s built to do.

Donate – AFT is free and built by one person. If it’s added something to your game, consider supporting the project — it keeps the servers running and the development moving forward. Every contribution matters.

Upgrade to PRO – Unlock the full potential of AFT. The PRO version gives you access to advanced features and helps keep this project alive and growing. If you get value from AFT on the field — this is how you give back.

Help – Quick answers, right when you need them. The in-app help panel covers the essentials so you can find what you’re looking for without leaving the game.

Exit – Wrap it up. Logs you out of the current session and closes the application cleanly.
