A neat Ipad apps for FSX?

Featured Replies

I was wondering if anyone knew of any neat Ipad apps that could interface with FSX somehow. I know there's FS Kneeboard but I'm not needing the detailed charts and stuff, I was hoping for maybe in-flight weather reports, moving map, destination weather info, all that kinda stuff.

 

Thanks for any suggestions :)

I don't want to hijack this thread...but please suggest the ones that would work with the Samsung Android Tablet 2 as well. For I ordered one yesterday.

The iPad ones I have are (in no particular order):

 

AirTrack

FSXFollow

FSXRadar

FSXControl

WideFSMap

Air Nav Pro

RF Nav HD

 

Don't ask me for reviews of these. I don't really use any of them very much since acquiring Aivlasoft's EFB which is running on a 10" USB touch screen mounted permanently in my cockpit.

Pete, did you ever post shots of your cockpit in the FSX setup pictures thread?? :rolleyes:

 

No.

Yes, lovely for North American users. The only thing it does for us in Europe is provide some checklists! :-(

That's all very nice -- but it isn't easy, or even necessarily possible, to download all the charts one needs for European airports and procedures. I do have them all in Navigraph, and I have a full (expensive) set of Jeppesen's on paper, but scanning all the latter is a turesome job,. I've been pressing Navigraph to do an iPad version of their program for some time. that would be the best solution all round IMO.

 

The very best iPad APP I've seen is the pilot's professional one from Jeppesen, but that's not only expensive but is only sold on subscription. if it were sold as a one-time issue, like the paper charts, I would probably go that route.

For charting I would love jeppesen or Lido like in Itunes just one finger and you update the chart you need even if it's 5€ per chart.

I don't understand why they are still wait for such market

I think the market is really ready to use those tablet for EFB or visual gauge but all just work with fsx default.

Can you imnagine Airtrack app configurated with the NGX used as FMC or ND PFD etc..
