nice but new
I know I know this game looks fun for you
#violaawareness
Just as an aside, the string sections of the orchestra span the entire stage in front of the winds/brass/percussion. As for the violas, they sit stage left, or audience right, somewhat center from the cellos who sit further audience right. This changes in a few works like Tchaikovsky’s Symphony Number 6 where some of the orchestration creates a “stereo” effect requiring the second violins to sit house right and the firsts to set house left. The melody them oscillates back and forth, an effect audible to the audience.
Voila! You have an orchestra.

Won’t connect
Just fly out does not work. Will not connect at all.
Won’t connect to X-Plane 12
Refuses to connect to X-Plane 12. It tells you to download another app for that, but the problem is that there is no such app on the App Store.
No longer connects
Used to work and now even after restarting and redownloading the app only connects intermittently. When it does connect, it freezes before you can do anything.
Connected?
It says it is connected but when I try to do anything, nothing happens
Works great but do have a question
App works perfectly for torturing someone while flying the sim! But, why is it 3 gb installed? Is there that much bloat in apple’s sdk? Seems with the UI and functionality it should be MUCH smaller.
Unstable; doesn’t get airport database
Very unstable. “Upgraded” and now can’t relocate plane (no airports available)
Cannot get in

Viola?
I can’t find the stringed instrument section on this app
The developer used the word “viola,” a stringed instrument when he meant “voila!” Meaning “there it is.”

Response from developer
I think the stringed instruments are normally in the left section of the orchestra, near the horns. I've never seen stringed instruments in an App before. Perhaps you should could try a music store?
I love it
It’s not pretty but it works. It’s great to be able to set up any weather or failure situation instantly without having to leave the flight.
Crashes
Can’t even use it, as soon as I open it, it crashes!
X-Plane 11 on Mac crashes
With the new version or x plane 11.5 and control pad , x plane crashes when we send the command.
Please fix it

Wait what command do you mean? Can you say what command you are sending? You can email me at austin@X-Plane.com... Thanks!
Does most of what I need.
I can tolerate the lackluster UI. The thing that really annoys me is the fact that every time I turn it on, the plane I’m flying runs out of fuel. Turning on the app doesn’t change the plane’s location or the current weather so I can’t understand why the fuel level needs to change. Even if they can’t change that, they should at least leave some fuel in the tanks. If I want to change weather during a flight, I don’t want the plane to drop like a stone because the tanks empty.

Useful tool for BATD CFI, needs a couple of things
I’m a flight instructor and I also teach on a Basic Aviation Training Device out of the office, and found this tool to be equal to the $2000 product that the simulator company sells, and can’t recommend it strongly enough to instructors who use simulators.
One problem is that “Smoke in Cockpit” is actually a massive bird strike that causes random failures, which is excellent, but it -doesn’t- reset the wildlife setting that it changes in X-Plane, so, the next person to operate the simulator sees a flock of birds or a herd of deer bounding across the runway. Hilarious for me, terrifying for them, but, it would be nice for that feature to properly reset itself.
The user interface is a good start but it needs a visual overhaul with the buttons and features arranged properly, and this will be a five-star app.

Great app, needs new look
I love this app, it is awesome for dynamically controlling weather and time in the simulator and it is great for playing pranks on friends 😉. The issue I have with this app is it’s looks. It looks awful. It looks look you pulled it straight from the 90s. I think it would be pretty easy to give it a new interface. Just make it match the X-Plane 11 interface. Simple as that.

Works well but breaks connection to Foreflight
I like this better than running IOS on my PC because this allows me to graphically reposition the airplane which I can’t seem to do when running IOS on the PC. The only downside with this app on iPad is that it breaks the Xplane to Foreflight connection so you lose position on Foreflight
Looks Ugly, Works Great
Excellent tool for quickly selecting airports, aircraft, and failures in X-Plane 11. The maps and gls are excellent additions. Yes, the UI and app are ugly and need work, but it is very easy to use and convenient especially when I am in VR and want to make a quick change. I just pull the oculus off for a few seconds and make needed changes on the phone.

Works fine but...
Needs work on interface. Buttons overlap and just looks boring. I could get everything to work, but it just needs better layout and some true UI care. Windows 10 & XP11. 5 stars if it had better layout and look.
Almost There
Huge potential, but not fully working yet. For example, the nav data stopped syncing at 79%, and the EFIS & MAP work, but the FAIL options do not. I hope they fix this as I see other users are experiencing the similar problems.
Response from developer
Try version 1.15 or later... I've switched the whole nav data update procedure to be instant. Update your review if it works, and let me know at austin@X-Plane.com if it does not! austin
