Fantastic Add-On to X-Plane 12!

I’m a fairly frequent user of X-Plane 12 at home with a relatively basic setup (yoke, throttle and iPad connected to ForeFlight to track airplane position in real time). As a result of ‘running out of screens’, it’s always been a bit of a bummer that I haven’t been able to have a detailed instrument display separate from my computer monitor. Thankfully, HomeSim has fixed that! This wonderful app makes the flight sim immersion experience that much more realistic and useful, compared to using my mouse on my computer to interact with the instruments in the plane. 5/5!

Response from developer

I am sorry to hear you are having issues. If you could supply some more information it would help us help you. Specifically, are you using X-Plane 12 (and if so, is it a recent update), which airplane are you trying to fly (as HomeSim can't add functions to an airplane model, ie: an airplane with no autopilot will not respond to autopilot inputs), and is the connection button triggering a message indicating that there is missing data. Our app DOES NOT collect ANY information, but we would like to address your concerns, and any information you supply would help us identify issues. Please email sshaynak@gmail.com with details, and we will work to resolve the issues. Thank you.
