## What is XpRemotePanel?

Pilot your aircraft with a finger tip - This app provides an intuitive touch interface to frequently used gauges and avionics in X-Plane. Instead of mimicking the turning of dials you can directly interact with the instruments, for example by dragging the heading bug to the desired direction on the compass rose.

It has the following instruments for general aviation as well as airliner use:
- Primary Flight Display (PFD) with attitude, speed, altimeter, vertical speed, directional giro, frequencies and autopilot buttons
- Directional Giro with heading bug, drift indication and syncing
- Altimeter with autopilot buttons, altitude preselection bug and barometer setting
- Airspeed indicator with speed bug, v-speed indication and true airspeed display
- COM Stack with Active / Standby switch and frequency entry keypad
- KFC 200 style Autopilot with push and hold up/down buttons
- FMS with CDU touch display (for default X-Plane FMS (B737/A330) and B737-800X Zibo Mod)


The following functions are available after purchasing the optional Navigation Pack:
- NAV Stack with Active / Standby switch and frequency entry keypad (also on PFD)
- CDI gauge with course selection and locator/glide path indication
- HSI gauge with heading bug, course selection and autopilot buttons (also on PFD)
- Glideslope indicator and bearing pointers with distances on PFD
- GCU 478 style keypad for G1000. Allows easy flightplan entry for all planes with default G1000
- CDU alphanumeric keys

Multiple layouts are available based on the size of your screen. You can also show different instruments on different devices to increase the immersion.
This app requires Laminar Research X-Plane 11 or 12 and uses its standard network data interface.
For the CDU display, a plugin for X-Plane must be installed. Instructions inside the app.

### 5/5 — Makes sim flying much more comfortable

*2026-01-08*

I don’t have the space for all the fancy tools and panels to make my at home flight sim super realistic and it is a pain to be clicking on the tiny controls with the mouse. Especially the radio dials. This app basically lets you have a high end flight sim setup for a fraction of the price as long as you have a phone or even better an iPad. I love it. It gets me flying more and that’s all I care about. Would happily pay for this.

### 5/5 — Good enough for what I needed

*2024-10-21*

I needed to have some panels on my iPhone to help me with basic navigation on X-Plane 12. This app did it. It connected to my sim automagically, it shows the panels I needed, and I may consider buying the expansion
