About this game

Free up screen real estate and let you Android be your Primary Flight Display.

- Retractable gear indicator. Indicates how much the gear is retracted, and whether the gear is locked.

If you have problems connecting, please try the following:

1. Make sure your android device is connected to wifi, not mobile data.

2. Disable smart network switch on your android device.

3. Make sure your Android device is connected to the same subnet as your computer. This can be a problem for setups with WiFi repeaters or multiple access points/routers. For example, if your android device connects to a WiFi router that connects to a modem, and your PC connects directly to the modem, this app WILL NOT work. The PC must connect to the router.

4. Try several different android devices. If none of them can connect, it's likely a network issue. If some of them can connect, it's likely you have an incompatible device.

5. Disable firewalls on both your X-Plane computer and your android device.

6. Check your router settings so that they are not set to filter out multicast traffic.

7. Make sure IGMP proxying is enabled in your router settings.

I can never get it to connect automatically, I have to restart X-Plane 11 and the app multiple times and enter my computers IP address manually into the app. Once I get it finally connected it works great with zero lag. Really fun addition but would like to see a possible fix. I just wanted to mention that I did try the connection test app and it connected with no problems instantly, so I am confused why it is so hard for me to connect with the full app.

Try the latest update. After a successful connection it should remember the PC's address and us it the next time.

Nice no-frills plane-agnostic pfd. I wish there was a manual: I can't figure out how to set the altimeter or bearing bug to a value that isn't on the screen (e.g. set a target altitude of 1000ft when I'm on the runway about to take off).

I just can't be without this one for my X-Plane sim. No matter what aircraft I'm flying or what view I'm in, always right there in front of me. Works on old aircraft that don't even have a PFD. Gives more of the glass cockpit feel.
