Read full description

AirTrack is an application designed to integrate with flight simulators in real time over a local area network, providing remote flight display and control through glass cockpit instruments, as well as control over some of the simulation variables. It replicates instruments and panels found on real planes using devices such as tablets and computers.  With the aid of a plugin in the simulator, flight data is exchanged over the local network and displayed on the Mac, iPad and iPhone apps. Likewise actions on these are propagated back to the simulator and allow for its remote control. But if this isn't enough, AirTrack can also use your device's built-in GPS, Accelerometer and Gyro to determine your current movements and attitude and the Internet to download real weather to simulate an aircraft's sensors. Turn your car trip into a flight experience by getting information about your instant position, heading and surrounding waypoints. See yourself in an EFIS style navigation display / primary flight display or plan your multi-leg trip with the built in flight planner which gives you real-time information about your waypoints, how far they are and how long it will take you to reach them.
