I just wanted to buy your FlightMapp add but sadly it says that it isn't compatible with my ODYS XELIO 7" tablet.
Did I miss some restrictions that prevent my from using your app on my tablet?

It looks like that tablet does not come with the Google Play store by default. It comes with some other market application. FlightMap is only available from the Play Store and the Google application suite is required as I use those API's. I did find a tutorial online that shows how to get the Google Play Store on that tablet.

Once you have the play store installed, my guess is that you will need to download google maps before FlightMap will function. It should work though.

EDIT: It looks like the link to the play store is dead on that page. I did find another along with a video on how to install play on that tablet.

Here is the play store apk

Thank you very much! Will give that a try

Please let me know if you get it working on that tablet. Once you get the play store on there and install google maps I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I would try the demo version first to make sure all is good.

Sorry but it isn't working.

I have the Google Play Store now on my Tablet and also installed google maps. After that I rebooted the tablet but still can't find Flightmap in the google play store. Only app which it is finding is "i-map viewer for android"

When I go to the google play store via PC I can find your app but I can't download it because it still says that I haven't got any compatible system in my network.

I'm sorry it didn't work. It looks like the tablet is not configured properly for access to the google play store which isn't a huge shock. It is not "describing" itself as a tablet. It looks like it's telling the play store it is a phone which is why FlightMap is not showing up as I require 7 inch tablets or larger. Usually, this can be fixed by modifying the build.prop for the android system to correctly identify as a tablet but now we're getting pretty advanced in android tweaking. There may be some information available out there if you google it but that tablet does not seem to be very popular. These types of tweaks are system level so require root access which would be the first step. Because root is required I would not recommend trying to get it to work unless you are quite good with linux systems. Sorry

I am really excited to be close to release of FlightGauge. The 7 inch tablet version has just entered beta testing and I'm currently working on the larger tablet layouts. I'm hoping to release it within the next month or so. FlightGauge is a real time second screen instrumentation view that works with Flight Simulator X and Prepar3D. FlightGauge supports 7, 8, and 10 inch tablets running Android 4.0+. I'm really interested to hear what people think of it and what other options they would like to see.

http://vineripesoftware.wordpress.com/category/software/flightgauge/

The first version of FlightGauge is designed for single and dual engine GA aircraft and supports the following indicators:
- Automatic Airspeed Indicator Selection for: 100, 200, 360, 450, 540, 900 knots
- Artificial Horizon Indicator
- Altitude Indicator
- Turn and Bank Indicator
- Heading Indicator
- Vertical speed Indicator
- Left/Right Fuel Indicators
- Manifold Pressure Indicator
- Fuel Flow Indicator
- Oil Temperature Indicator
- Oil Pressure Indicator
- Suction Pressure Indicator
- Electrical Amp Indicator
- Prop RPM Indicator

I'm going to limit the first version to GA prop aircraft and will hopefully, if there is interest in the app, be able to expand it to support glass cockpit options and stuff like that. I've got tons of ideas on where this app could go but I gotta start somewhere

I have not determined what the price will be for FlightGauge but, like FlightMap, I will be releasing a free 5 minute trial version.

Glad to see you're humming along with your app plans.

So the flight gauge app is a larger/better version of the existing gauges available on the flight map app?

Will the two apps be able to run at the same time, and the user able to go back and forth between them?

Edit: not sure how much interest there would be for it, but what about an app that allows you to open a second screen on the tablet, like when you hit CTRL+L (I think) to create a smaller PiP screen for an outside view or whatever view you like. To have that on a tablet might be interesting.

FlightGauge takes the 3 gauge idea that I created for FlightMap and expands it out to include the 6 major gauges as well as the engine gauges. My ultimate goal is to make the gauges themeable but that will take a while. After the first version is out I do want to create other layout options. A glass cockpit for jets seems like a logical next step after the GA is done. In the short term I do hope to have alternate graphic options for some of the main gauges.

Both apps are able to be run at the same time. I have my simpit configured now to have the 7 inch tablet right in front of me with FlightGauge running and then my 10 inch tablet off to the side with FlightMap running. It works really well. You can also have them running on the same tablet and switch back and forth between them using the android multitasking. That also works really well. My ultimate goal is to have a suite of applications that can be used to fill out a simpit as that is what I have

I've added a poll to my blog asking users what feature they are most interested in seeing in FlightMap. I'm very interested in feedback so if you all could take a moment to vote that would be excellent.

Thanks to everyone that has voted in the FlightMap feature poll. Right now a complete flight plan display overlay is the top vote getter. I'll be closing the poll in a few days so if you have not voted please do so soon.

I have just uploaded a video to show off FlightGauge in action. FlightGauge is a cockpit panel replacement for almost any of your Flight Simulator aircraft. FlightGauge works on Android 4.0+ tablets between 7 and 10 inches and is designed to work with Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Prepar3D.

I went to the google store to download this and can't find it. I an using a 7" Azpen tablet. I saw in a previous post that I need to tell the store I am using a tablet and not a phone but I don't see how to do this. How can I do this?

try clicking this link to open google play directly to FlightMap

FlightMap on Google Play

I don't know anything about that tablet but it should work assuming the tablet is telling google play it is a tablet. The only way to change that is to gain root access to the tablet and change the build.prop file.

That worked but it doesn't see that I am using a tablet and tells me it isn't compatible. I am using a Azpen tablet I bought for $40.00.

Thanks for the update

I have found a problem on my 10" tablet.

When in standard map mode (diagram not satellite etc) when I press DATA or MAP the black pop up only covers part of the options like the top 3. The bottom options fall outside the black pop up and are white text over a white/light background making them unreadable.

If you are not sure what I mean I can take a photo.

What tablet is it?

Could you take a screenshot by pressing volume down and power at the same time? You can email it to me at ebanker@vineripeconsulting.com

I can't say that I've seen that problem. I'm wondering if somehow the fonts got messed up on your tablet.

Motorola Xoom running 4.0.4

Thanks. I will find a way of getting a pic to you
