Nice app

Slight issues with it, although that might be because I’m using xplane 12. Sometimes plane not aligned with directional heading.

Unsupported? Does not connect to XPlane 12

I see XPlane see a Multiplayer device for my iPad TNG but thy don’t talk to each other. App seems moribund/abandoned as it does not mention XPlane 12 anywhere. Perhaps its a simple change to port - but since developer does not tell what’s port I wont know how to fix it.

Not working with x-plane 12

Despite saying X-Plane 11 and higher, X-Plane 12 is not able to communicate with this app.

Makes it useless to me.

sort of works

Map Tracker works. I paid the extra 2.99 for the upgraded version. Auto pilot portion of Avionics and com panel freezes up. Useless.

Update 1yr later. The basic tracker portion works with XPlane 11 but does not work with XPlane 12. Inquiries to customer support have thus far been unanswered leading me to wonder if it has been abandoned. If so, Apple should remove it from the app store.

Update-Jan24,2023
Yep, the developers appear to have abandoned this app. Sent another request in for support a few weeks ago with no response whatsoever.
Buyer beware.

Doesn’t work

I purchased the in-app upgrade and followed the instructions. Both the app and x-plane 11 show they are connected to each other but none of my avionics inputs are working, they instantly return to what x-plane is showing and ignores my app inputs. Requesting a refund.
