X-Plane Control Pad Wiki

App works perfectly for torturing someone while flying the sim! But, why is it 3 gb installed? Is there that much bloat in apple’s sdk? Seems with the UI and functionality it should be MUCH smaller.

It’s not pretty but it works. It’s great to be able to set up any weather or failure situation instantly without having to leave the flight.

Excellent tool for quickly selecting airports, aircraft, and failures in X-Plane 11. The maps and gls are excellent additions. Yes, the UI and app are ugly and need work, but it is very easy to use and convenient especially when I am in VR and want to make a quick change. I just pull the oculus off for a few seconds and make needed changes on the phone.

I’m a flight instructor and I also teach on a Basic Aviation Training Device out of the office, and found this tool to be equal to the $2000 product that the simulator company sells, and can’t recommend it strongly enough to instructors who use simulators. One problem is that “Smoke in Cockpit” is actually a massive bird strike that causes random failures, which is excellent, but it -doesn’t- reset the wildlife setting that it changes in X-Plane, so, the next person to operate the simulator sees a flock of birds or a herd of deer bounding across the runway. Hilarious for me, terrifying for them, but, it would be nice for that feature to properly reset itself. The user interface is a good start but it needs a visual overhaul with the buttons and features arranged properly, and this will be a five-star app.

I love this app, it is awesome for dynamically controlling weather and time in the simulator and it is great for playing pranks on friends 😉. The issue I have with this app is it’s looks. It looks awful. It looks look you pulled it straight from the 90s. I think it would be pretty easy to give it a new interface. Just make it match the X-Plane 11 interface. Simple as that.

Needs work on interface. Buttons overlap and just looks boring. I could get everything to work, but it just needs better layout and some true UI care. Windows 10 & XP11. 5 stars if it had better layout and look.

I can’t find the stringed instrument section on this app The developer used the word “viola,” a stringed instrument when he meant “voila!” Meaning “there it is.”

I like this better than running IOS on my PC because this allows me to graphically reposition the airplane which I can’t seem to do when running IOS on the PC. The only downside with this app on iPad is that it breaks the Xplane to Foreflight connection so you lose position on Foreflight

Huge potential, but not fully working yet. For example, the nav data stopped syncing at 79%, and the EFIS & MAP work, but the FAIL options do not. I hope they fix this as I see other users are experiencing the similar problems.

Does this even work on the demo? I've been trying to make it work, but it won't. I do plan on getting the full version, though.

I can tolerate the lackluster UI. The thing that really annoys me is the fact that every time I turn it on, the plane I’m flying runs out of fuel. Turning on the app doesn’t change the plane’s location or the current weather so I can’t understand why the fuel level needs to change. Even if they can’t change that, they should at least leave some fuel in the tanks. If I want to change weather during a flight, I don’t want the plane to drop like a stone because the tanks empty.

Can’t even use it, as soon as I open it, it crashes!

Very unstable. “Upgraded” and now can’t relocate plane (no airports available)

Cannot get in
