Could you please give me details about your setup - what device are you using etc? I'm not having any issues with the app. I took the default Grand Caravan for a spin yesterday and the app worked as it should. I'm not sure about that. You can try it and see if it works. It's free so you have nothing to lose. Notice: there is a controls profile specifically made for the Corsair, but it doesn't include AP buttons. You will have to use the Default controls profile to test the AP functionality with the two birds.

I’m excited to announce the release of version 1.8 of MSFS Mobile Companion App. This release adds dedicated support for the FG-1D Corsair by MilViz and improves the UI, especially for the default AP controls as well as the PA-28R (JustFlight). List of new features: Added controls profile for the FG-1D Corsair by MilViz. Improved UI especially for the default AP and the PA-28R. Where can I get it? You can download the MSFS Mobile Companion App for free on GitHub or flightsim.to. It’s free. No ads, no in-app purchases, nothing. Important notice for existing users: Don’t forget to copy and replace the mobiflight-event-module folder into the Community folder. Important notice for new users: Don’t install the app on your mobile device! Download and run it on your PC. This creates a local web server to which you connect via an IP address.

Thanks @Aviator Ape for your kind feedback! I'm planning on releasing a new version next week that will bring improvements to the UI (esp. autopilot controls) and add compatibility to the Corsair by MilViz Sim. I'll post the update here once it's released.

I’m excited to announce the release of version 1.6 of MSFS Mobile Companion App. This release adds dedicated control profiles for the PA-28R Arrow III by Just Flight and the A32NX by FlyByWire as well as controls for the GNS430/530 and G1000 units. List of new features in v1.6: Added aircraft controls profile selection Added controls profiles for GNS430/530, G1000, A32NX (FBW), and PA-28R (Just Flight) Added integration with Mobiflight WASM Added Data tab with IAS, ALT, HDG data Added Sync HDG bug to current heading Added yaw damper AP controls Fixed NAV frequency display UI for iOS The app currently has built-in controls profiles for the PA-28R Arrow III (Just Flight) and the A32NX (FlyByWire) apart from the default profiles for default aircraft. Over the next weeks, I will be releasing profiles for IndiaFoxtEcho’s Long EZ, T45-C and MB-339, MilViz’s FG-1D Corsair and the Aerosoft’s CRJ-500/750. Where can I get it?

I'm happy to announce the release of Hotfix v1.5.2. This version doesn't add new features, but addresses the following two iOS-related issues: - Fixed bug for iOS devices not being able to type in decimal numbers in COM/NAV frequencies. - Added +/- sign button for VS AP.

I’m excited to announce the release of version 1.5 of MSFS Mobile Companion App. This release adds a dedicated landscape mode (split-screen for map and controls) and the option to load your flight plan. List of new features: Added landscape mode (split-screen for map and controls). Added option to load your current flight plan. Switched active and stand-by NAV/COM displays. A note on the load flight plan feature: Currently, only waypoints of the flight plan are shown on the map. Arrival and departure procedures like DME arcs, glideslope intercepts, etc. are not supported Where can I get it? You can download the MSFS Mobile Companion App for free on GitHub or flightsim.to.

Not quite. You'd be missing a lot of essential data about your flight such as current altitude, speed, pitch, bank, etc. However, with the help of ngrok.com (or something similar), you could check up on your plane's location and see whether the AP is on while grocery shopping.

No problem! Should you ever encounter any problems with the app, then please let me know. Great find! 👍🤚You're right - active is on the left, stand by on the right. I'll change it in the next version. Thanks a lot!

Just so that I understand you correctly, are you doing the following: Set your AP altitude on the ground. Take off. Engage AP Set a desired VS The airplane continues climbing past the set altitude. Is my interpretation correct? And which aircraft are you using? Plus, if it's the A320 (default or FBW) did you use managed or selected ALT? Thanks for the feedback!

Hello AVSIM Community, I'm Martin the developer of MSFS Mobile Companion App - a freeware tool that allows you to control essential aircraft instruments such as NAV/COM frequencies, autopilot, or lights using almost any mobile device (Android, iOS, Linux, Windows). I started this project in September 2020 with the aim to improve the MSFS experience. Since then, I've added many new features such and improved the UI. The latest version 1.4 introduced dedicated autopilot controls for the A320/A32NX. Here is a list of the main current features: Moving Map (Open Street Maps). NAV 1/2 frequency and OBS 1/2 selection. ADF frequency and ADF card selection. COM 1/2 and transponder selection. Autopilot with altitude, vertical speed, and airspeed settings. Gyro drift and altimeter pressure settings. Light controls. Pitot heat and deicing controls. Landing ratings (vertical speed at touchdown). Simulation rate controls. The app is absolutely free. No ads, no in-app purchases, nothing. I'm developing it for the love of our common hobby - flight simulation. You can get the app on GitHub or flightsim.to. There you'll find all relevant information on how to get it up and running. Important notice: Don't install the app on your mobile device. Download and run it on your PC. This creates a local web server to which you connect via an IP address. You will not find the app on the Apple/Google. I'd like to use the opportunity here on AVSIM to inform you about the development and gather your feedback. A lot of the current features and improvements were implemented thanks to the flight sim community. If you have any questions, would like to request a feature or report a bug then please let me know below. Thanks! Martin

I don't consider my self a pro programmer. I've started programming in my free time fairly recently. So this should give you the indication that it is not that hard to modify. With your skills, you should be more than capable of adapting the tool yourself. I'd suggest you look at the original Python SimConnect library on GitHub. You'll find a pretty good short documentation on how to use it. MSFS Mobile Companion Apps is built on that library. I've changed the UI to make it mobile device friendly, made some hacks here and there to make certain features work, but nothing out of the ordinary. If you need anything specific, please feel free to contact me via GitHub. Hope this helps.

I don't have P3D and so I can't really test or develop it. However, the MSFS Mobile Companion App uses SimConnect to communicate with the sim. So I think that it could be made compatible with P3D with "relative ease". I don't know how different P3D's SimConnect is to MSFS so maybe, it'll even work without any changes. Try it out, I'd be interested to know.

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.

You can use the Mobile Companion App on your FS PC or any other device (Windows/Linux/Mac PC, Android, iOS) as long as the device has a fairly recent web browser and is connected to the same local network as your FS PC. You download and run the app on your FS PC and then connect to it via an IP address from any device in your network. Hope this helps.
