User reviews

doesn’t work

after connecting to the sim all it will let me do is pause, quit xplane, shut down my computer, or adjust the app preferences.

I love it

I teach my friends how to fly with this

It’s awesome

I think this works really good with xplane love it

Great for instructing

App doesn’t have a great interface, but as an instruction tool, it’s fantastic to throw issues at a pilot, like a bird strike, and see what they’ll do. Remember your emergency flow?

Lost all respect for Laminar Research

They disabled Instructor Control Pad for xplane11. When I spent an hour trying to see what’s the problem and decided to reinstall the app, apparently is no longer available. The only control pad available is for xplane12.

If Laminar Research thinks they will force me to buy XP12, they are mistaken. With this approach I’ll better get MSFS 2020 or 2024.
