Nice butโ€ฆ

So it was going well during my flight training until it said we crashed into the ground but we didnโ€™t next second Iโ€™m in hospital so it is like 2 seconds off from the reality

The artificial horizon just needs color

But itโ€™s five stars itโ€™s really good

Good idea, doesnโ€™t work

The artificial horizon precesses badly, the air speed indicator and altimeter do not work at all. I only give it 2 stars because it doesnโ€™t seem to track any personal data or show any ads.

Upside down?

Forced into landscape mode, which is understandable. But the floating attitude indicators are upside down.

Did I miss a setting?

Used for my boeing 747

I used this for my boeing 747 had around 300 passengers, my engine got hit by a bird and we slammed noes down into the ground, AND THE APP STILL WORKS VERY GOOD APP
