Update- having a problem where pausing blurs the screen. Dev reached out and is addressing! Can't say enough good things about Tobias! He's super responsive and cares that his app is running smoothly!Update- talked to developer and it seems as though some avionics display the roll pointer/bank scale differently! Dev is adding selection feature! Overall great app for understanding how to use an HSI, determine position, intercept courses etc.

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: /apps/testing/com.maihoff.ifrflightsimulator After signing up it might take some minutes to be available. Regards

I am not a pilot (but have always dreamed of being one since my youth, but life had other plans for me ~ I'm 58 now), but must admit that this IFR simulator app is highly addictive. It is also very satisfying when coming in on an approach and landing the plane successfully. I especially like the map that is displayed after your flight, showing the plane's trajectory to and from the airport.
