iGoDispatch Saab-340A is an iOS application developed for the X-Plane's Saab-340A airplane model designed by Leading Edge Simulations. iGoDispatch helps you create a flight plan; estimate the required amount of fuel for your flight; load the plane with passengers, cargo and fuel; calculate various plane parameters, such as weight, %MAC and Centre of Gravity; track the flight on a map; as well as dynamically adjust the current Centre of Gravity offset during the flight. The application will then assess your flight performance against more than 20 parameters. It also includes inflight public announcements in several languages. Add functionality and realism to this plane! In order to connect the application to X-Plane, iGoConnect plug-in must be installed. Note: iGoConnect uses TCP connection between your iPad and the computer where X-Plane is installed.
