Just downloaded the app. Does the app send flight plans to x-plane or receive flight plans from x-plane? Unable to do so here. The com and nav interacts bi-directional. Is it possible to post a few notes regarding capabilities. Thx rf

For certified software, we have FAA rules.  For iPad apps, we have Apple rules :(  ...

Awesome!
Well now I’m checking the App Store about 5x a day to see when it will be available.  This really is a powerful development and I believe will help see more IFDs.
Thanks

For instance it would be great to have true VOR signal simulation to use with the IFDs.

Yes, it will do both of those things.

I'm not saying it's out of the question, but we're not currently looking at other flight simulators.

Excellent.  Thank you so much.  Have been waiting for this.  This is the sort of stuff that really adds value.  Again, thank you.

Oh my goodness! This is such good news. I have been waiting for this for a long time. The ability to use IFDs in the simulator environment is huge for me. It really increases my “muscle memory” of working the IFDs and thus my safety and competency in single pilot IFR.
Thanks Avidyne

Well, thanks for that, a step in the right direction.

Whoo hoo, sweet! I just built a sim with XPlane 11. Can’t wait to start practicing instrument procedures using the IFD 540 Trainer instead of a faux G* GPS. This will really help with proficiency.

Be on the lookout over the next few days for a new IFD Trainer app for XPlane which will be available soon on the app store.

The iPad app will automatically connect to an instance of XPlane that is running on the same network.  No plugin for XPlane is required.  We know it works with XPlane 11 and it probably works with previous versions.  You won't see a picture of the IFD if you zoom in on the XPlane cockpit.  Doesn't matter, though, because you'll have a nice big IFD running full time on your iPad!
