  1. iFMS 1.1.5 for Apple devices has now been released. This is a minor update mainly to ensure compatibility with the recently released iOS 8 platform. Other new features include: - Added HSI active waypoint information - Added HSI GS / TAS information - Added HSI wind information - Improved distance calculation based on WGS84 ellipsoid algorithms An update for Android (1.1.6) including the features above has been released as well. We still expect version 2.0, which will include a PFD and EICAS screens along with multi-device support, to be released by the end of the year.
  2. Hello again all, I realize it has been quite a while since my last update. Things have not been standing still, they just have been progressing much slower than I hoped, I have no real excuse other than saying my personal life came in the way. With the help of many you I have been able to identify and resolve issues in the current version 1.1.4 / 1.1.5 available on the Apple and Goodle App Stores. Some of the Android users have been receiving updated “beta” versions for testing as well. I’d like to thank you all for your great help. Many of you have been asking about the progress
  3. That is correct. iFMS does not sync with the FMC found in add-on aircraft such as PMDG. You can use iFMS with these aircraft but you you should either use the FMC/ND in iFMS or the one that comes with the aircraft. iFMS is much more usefull used in combination with standard/add-on aircraft that don't have any (realistic) FMC and/or ND of their own like most standard and free add-on aircraft. In this case iFMS will provide you with a very functional FMC and navigation display where you would normally have none. Alternatively you can also use iFMS completely stand-alone with the
  4. Hi again all, I’ve just released another revision of the Android version of iFMS to the Google Play Store, this version is labelled 1.1.5. It was pointed out to me that several Android devices which should be capable of running iFMS were listed as incompatible by the Google Play Store, hence iFMS could not be installed on those devices. This had to do with the Play Store thinking iFMS requires the presence of a GPS, hence the Play Store was excluding all devices that don’t have a GPS from the compatible devices list. As you might know iFMS is capable of using the GPS as data source instead
  5. I am happy to report iFMS version 1.1.4 is now available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This revision fixes the following issues: - On some Android devices like the Motorola Xoom2 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab7 not all the FMC buttons were displayed because of a sizing issue of the bitmaps. - Waypoint names should always be displayed when the HSI is in PLAN mode, not just when RTE DATA is selected. - When a runway is selected in some cases there was a problem only displaying the relevant departures/arrivals for this runway. - There was a crash and/or misplacement when
  6. Well, since I'm the developer of this app off course I recommend it, but my opinion might be somewhat biased :-).
  7. There is not but if you're on Android the play store allows you to cancel your order within 15 minutes of purchase. If you make sure you set up your FSX/X-plane by installing FStoiFMS before purchasing so you can give iFMS a 15 minute test run and decide if you want to keep it (it's not much time but it's something at least). This option is not available on the Apple store unfortunately
  8. Correct, You connect over the local wireless network. You need to install a tool called FStoiFMS (multiple versions are available for various simulator options) on the computer running the flight simulator, this tool reads the data from the flight simulator and sends it through to iFMS (or the other way around for autopilot inputs comming from iFMS). FStoiFMS can be downloaded from the iFMS website. The data is sent from the simulator to iFMS every frame so there should not be any lag and given there are no heavy calculations involved it does not slow the simulator either. Regards, Mich
  9. The price was set at $12.99 AU so it will depend on which country you live in but should be very close to $12 US. Regards, Michael De Feyter
  10. Just a quick note on the new version 1.1 of iFMS. If you’ve upgraded from a previous version and had already installed FStoIFMS, for whichever version of flight simulator you’re using: YOU MUST UPDATE YOUR FStoiFMS TO THE LATEST VERSION AVAILABLE ON THE iFMS WEBSITE. You won’t be able to connect the new iFMS 1.1 with the older versions of FStoiFMS. iFMS 1.1 does diplay a message about this upon first launch but this can easily be missed. Sorry of there was any confusion about this. Regards, Michael
  11. iFMS for Android has now been released After a successful launch on the Apple App Store in June earlier this year, iFMS has now been released for Android devices on the Google Play Store. Along with this release for Android, a new version 1.1 for iPhone/iPod/iPad will also be released in the coming days. iFMS provides you with a nearly fully functional "Boeing style" Flight Management System and HSI display on your Android device, iPhone, iPad (Mini) or iPod Touch, to make your Flight Simulator experience a more realistic one. Apart from all the standard flight planning and tracking
