Looks cool.  Thanks for sharing.  I wonder if the app will run on an old iPad...EDIT: Looks like iOS9+ so should be good!

I have an old iPad running 9.3.5 and it installed ok, will test tomorrow. One thing I liked about Android which isn’t available in the IOS version is you can connect to pc via USB

Thanks Rich.  I have the free version up and running on 9.3.5 so no need for the test, but appreciate the offer.  Just figuring out how to set up pages and toggle on/off etc.  I am looking for something like this simply to control AP/MCP, lights and some other common keypresses that I don't map to a HOTAS button.  Nice option I think.

If you Google MSFS 2020 key commands you’ll see exactly what can be assigned. It works well on my 2019 iPad, I’ll see what the old iPad is like in the morning. I’m glad I didn’t pull the trigger on a stream deck just yet

Appreciate that - I'm using this with P3Dv5.1 atm, but will also use for MSFS eventually.  Understanding what's possible without the pro version of Touch-Portal is where I'm at!

Really? Only find the google play version on their website.

Oh, sorry. When I checked I found an IOS app calling itself *a* sim dashboard, and misread it as *the* SimDashboard.

 

I'd like to present a new app I'm developing which will hopefully fit your needs - the MSFS Mobile Companion App. It is a tool that gives you a live OSM map and allows you to control essential aircraft instruments (NAV frequencies, autopilot) using almost any mobile device.

It’s free, no ads, no in-app purchases, works on Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, Mac, you name it. Just make sure that you have a fairly recent browser and the device is connected to the same local network as your MSFS PC.

Here is a little screenshot:

You can download it on GitHub or flightsim.to. Important notice: You install and run the app your MSFS PC and not on your mobile device! The app creates a local web server to which you connect to from your mobile device via an IP address. For more information, check out the official GitHub page.

I'm developing it in my free time so I haven't been able to iron "everything" out. It's just a start, I'll be adding additional features like COMs, ATC, lights, de-icing, etc.

I'd love to hear your feedback on it.

Wow, excellent and thanks for sharing (and actually dedicating you spare time). I downloaded one of the other tools mentioned here (Touch Portal) but did not manage to create a button yet, well the button is easy but not the programming. Will surely try your app asap

I’m watching this very closely, but I need tutorials.....youtube videos...come on man... I’m 64😅😅. Seriously this is so cool

I also use Matric which is pretty cool.

This looks awesome,

I will definitely give it a try 

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll definitely will try one of them.

Looks amazing and would be perfect for the broken Mooney, where if you touch the wrong thing on the VC it CTD. Well done

OK I just followed a tutorial on the Touch-portal website and now have the icons change depending on their state (On/Off)

This is just brilliant and it works a treat on my old iPad running IOS 9.3.5 which means I can still use my 2019 iPad for other flight related apps 

Pretty glad I did not drop $214 + taxes for the 15 button Stream Deck, instead it will be $17.99 CDN for the Pro version of Touch-Portal

Happy Days 🙂
