RemoteFlight AUTOPILOT app for iPhone and iPad
The title says it all, this gauge replaces generic autopilot panel and delivers features like HDG, VS, NAV, APR. All standard autopilot functions from FS9 and FSX default aircafts are available in this gauge. Weve even added some features that are not present on classic Bendix/King, but we thought would be useful to be able to control heading or NAV/GPS slaving from this panel.
Compatible with FSX/FS9/P3D/X-Plane (Windows and OSX)
[Features]
* Complete replacement of default autopilot panel
* Heading and altitude hold
* Climb/descent with vertical speed hold
* Approach / nav hold - works with VOR or ILS (with glideslope)
* Additional NAV / GPS slaving switch
* Additional setting of HDG hold direction
RemoteFlight Server utility is required to establish the connection between Flight Simulator and your device. RemoteFlight server is very lightweight and will not affect the performance of your Flight Simulator. Download the server free on https://www.remoteflight.net/server
Pros and cons of RemoteFlight AUTOPILOT app for iPhone and iPad
RemoteFlight AUTOPILOT app good for
Very usefull tool for the FS ,especially if you still wanna have control when your not next to your computer. The RemoteFlight Map is also very useful!
I use this with aircraft that I have a hard time accurately tuning the heading and altitude with. Works good.
This app works as advertised on my iphone 5s with X-plane 10 running on windows 7 64bit. Try the remote flight lite app first to make sure youre able to connect to the virtual server. This probably works better on an ipad as itll come in handy as makeshift instrument panel
It is working with Prepar3d.
Really to add: the throttle control.
More funcionalities for other important airplanes are needed.
(Altitude reaches high values very slowly. Difficult to be used with jet liners)
Needs auto throttle controls added, other than that, its great!
Some bad moments
The app is very nice, adds an AP panel that would be similar to those SAITEK ones, except a smaller version. There is one issue though, when changimg heading on iOS device for example to 135, the fsx autopilot would see at as 135, the server program would say 135 but the iOS panel would jump down to 134 which would be wrong. If i want to change it back to 135, jumps down agaon to 134. pls fix that, otherwise awsome app. 4 stars until its fixed.
I like the app, but you cant set speed. Has heading, alt, and vs. No way to set speed.
Even thought this is just an iPhone app, this looks great in 2x mode on the original iPad. Also, if you edit the cfg file to enable the auto pilot on planes that have it disabled, you can use this to control that auto pilot.
I only give this app a 4 out of 5 because you cannot set speed and speed is everything. Other than that it works great on my iPod Touch and would recommend this if you really like flight simulator
Love this app on my iPhone. Makes me want to buy an iPad though so I could have the entire suite.
Those that rate this app low because they cant set the speed need to remember not all aircraft have that option in real life.
Get out of those tubliners and fly GA sometime. :-)
