User reviews

Very good app

I use this app to display the Cessna gauges on my IPAD and it works flawlessly. Hope the FS2020 update comes out soon.

Did not work

Mine did not connect to my computer. I tried troubleshooting it and nothing worked. I contacted avioware via email and did not get help. I wouldn't download it again.

Doesn't match in game gauges

Download and install was easy and the gauges are very clear. Was running with the a2a simulation cessna ( the only cessna worth flying in fsx) and several gauges did not match those in game. The tachometer, fuel flow, egt, amps, oil pressure, and oil temp appear operational but give very different read outs from the gauges in game.
