New IFD simulator app & 10.2.3.x firmware update

OK, so there are videos about the new simulator update ...

I don't think any of the listed models are new-- take a look at the bottom of the page at https://avidyne.com/products/ifd/index.html. The 410, 510, and 545 are GPS units only, with no VHF NAV/COM radio capability.

It looks like the video has been pulled unfortunately.

There is also this one ...

Lots of great new additions to the app!  Now I am constantly refreshing my iPads app store to see when the update is available. LOL.

It works exactly the same as if the IFD Trainer were a real panel IFD. That is, you need to check that the IFD Trainer is configured for wifi as if it were the real thing. Both IFD Trainer and IFD100 need to be at the same (i.e. latest) release and database levels. Have you gone through the setup process in the manual?

The setup information is in the IFD100 manual starting under "Initial Configuration" on page 6.

Check the app versions anyway, just in case. I'm trying to make sure you have the same setup as I do, because mine works. Do you mean that there is no wifi symbol at all next to GPS at the upper right corner on the IFD100? You should always have the symbol, even if wifi is not working. As long that there is no connection to the IFD (Trainer or in-panel), then that wifi symbol will have the barred and greyed out circle and should flash. This is the indication that there is no connection.

And you confirm the IFD100 app version is 10.2.5? And wifi network on both ipads is the same?

There is no wifi setting on the IFD100. It relies on whatever wifi the iOS is using. It is really critical though that the Chassis/Sys ID # is 1. You can't set it on the IFD Trainer, it is always 1. You can check this under AUX/SYS/Software Status on both apps.

I assume since you have an IFD440 that you are using the IFD Trainer as an IFD440, and your IFD Trainer looks like this:

I'm sitting at home with both ipad's side-by-side, next to my Fritzbox! Strange.

Try turning the wifi off-on. Leave the IFD100 running.

Yes!

And just to repeat (no offence intended) IFD100 app version is 10.2.5 and IFD Trainer app version is 10.2.2.

I just updated both ipads to 12.1.1 and my setup still works, so it's not related to iOS release.

I have the same problem as D-EACY.  My IFD100 will not connect with the Trainer app running on another iPaD.

FYI...I run both Simulator IFD540 & IFD100 with latest software version on 2 different iPad mini, (Mini 2 & Mini 4) on home network and all works well!  Great to have this training system available.

Could there be a setting on the trainer app or the IFD app that is not correct? You have to set up the correct device on both apps, and the correct IFD Chassis ID and iPad number in the IFD100 app (on the iPad go into Settings -> IFD Trainer and IFD100 to verify, I have bot chassis and iPad set to 1).
