#for 2 again, try LittleNavMap, you'r going to be amazed. Can display many different type of maps, OSM, Google, US Vfr Sectional etc.

 

I have tried LNP, but I have not ever seen Google map as a selectable map on it, am I missing something?

Yep, your missing this my friend:

Its amazing, specially for the US, the whole sectional becomes a giant moving map!

Another use for an ipad is Cockpit HD. Its a great little program that has instruments that connect to the sim. I was having trouble seeing the horizon indicator and started using this bad boy. It isn't free and more guages/glass instruments are a seperate cost but its nice!

Is there a similar program sporting glass cockpits PFD/MFD or G1000? I have 9 Saitek FIPs so no need for steam gauges but am still in search for a neat glass cockpit solution (Andoid-based preferred).

Thanks and kind regards, Michael

A couple extra things :

- You can simulate a noise cancelling headset. it's available on the sound menu

- I you only select an arrival airport, you will start align with the runway at 1000ft, useful for landing training

Is it possible to have ATC come over the headset, and all other sound come over the pc speakers?

If it an older TrackIR with the cap clip try attaching it to the top of your headset instead of a cap. You look like a dork but it works far better.

I did this! Used some duck tape to tape it on my headset. My wife asked me who I was trying to get in contact with (it looks like an antenna) 🤪

3.  Instant Teleport anywhere - amazed at this! 😲 You can click on a point in the above VFR Map to set a pin, and if you then click on the pin it asks if you want to teleport there.  It works instantly and you can even set the altitude before you jump.  I was amazed at this and it works seamlessly.  I got all around South Africa on a tour this morning!

Supercool this one. Jumped around the world a bit today. Dangerous with altitude set to low, LOL. Bit of a shame tough BING maps don't have the same quality as Google maps. Teleported myself right on top of the Grand Prismatic Sping in YellowStone.

This is how it looks in the sim (and on the BING map):

And this is how it looks in reality (and the same area on a Google map)

Have you tried spacedesk app? Both in android and ios platform for free. it basically adds your mobile device as an additional wireless screen. Just undock any glass screen and drag into your mobile device with your mouse like undocking to a secondary monitor.
