Is on the list of things to do. But it's pretty low right now. A lot of factors play into that decision, but first and foremost is the number of devices and tens if not hundreds of different hardware configurations. Second being the API and developer tools. The android SDK, IDEs, and emulators are in a very very distant third place compared to Microsoft and Apples mobile offerings.

You can blame Google for all of this frown

LOL, more technical than I understand, but sort of get it..

Was reading an interesting article today anyway about when iPad III arrives in a few months, they will drop the iPad II price, to make them more price comparable to the Android and Windows tablets, so perhaps I will get an iPad afterall.

Looking forward to many other apps that work with FSX and sims such as this. Gotta love modern technology....

Thanks for the quick reply

Matt

I'm curious if anyone would be interested in a Windows Phone version...

No guarantees, just a thought. I really like my windows phone much more than android and slightly more than iOS and I've got a ton of experience developing for Microsoft platforms.

Something that is not exactly clear in the FAQ or in the display setup. Can the app be running in portrait mode? That would be a better fit for my pit.

Landscape is currently the only supported orientation. Portrait CDU may happen in the future, though!

Currently one of the biggest limitation of this program is not being able to make your own custom layouts, unlike Helios.

Biggest limitation of Helios is that it doesn't work with iPad.

Go figure.

Can you use Helios with a second NON touch screen monitor and operate it with the mouse? I have second monitor I have for PDFs etc and would be good to have some of those left and right console panels on there too. Possible?

No idea, sorry. I used Helios to display cockpit instruments on a networked laptop, so having only the instruments I needed and a few switches was cool.

So it will work on a non-touch screen?
