The holding part for instrument view gives incorrect indications when it shows you the solution. (Offset is somehow mixed with Parallel) You might want to double check the information given there. It gave me some hard times until realising it was an error.

Thanks for reaching out. This will of course be double checked. Could you please assist and send screenshots of the problem to maihoffapps@gmail.com? Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards

While this isn't quite like flying in an aircraft, it has been extremely valuable in practicing holds, hold entries, and scanning, all while using your smartphone for free! Very useful tool. While the hold practice seems useful, for hold entries I found it to be more valuable to great my own hold scenarios, as the in app hold practice either has not enough information, or too much information (already giving you the hold entry, etc.) Depending on which page of the hold practice you look at.

Unplayable. The ad banner is right over the key control buttons at the bottom. I tried it again after a year or two to see if they had improved it but no, it is still completely unplayable with the ad banner right over the bottom of the screen where the controls are, and you can't get rid of the banner. What on earth is the point of developing an app, which has ads which aren't just an annoyance, but which make the app unplayable! Pointless.

Hi Greg, thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, the ads covering the controls is a known problem in the old version. I have just released a major update as open beta which you can join via: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.maihoff.ifrflightsimulator After signing up it might take some minutes to be available. Regards
