How to add new instruments [X-Plane] ?

#1 Post by VizslaGuy »

Hello - thank-you for this awesome tool!!

Was wondering ... there is no proper Autopilot instrument (or panel containing one) for the Cessna 172 in Air Manager iPad.

Is it possible to buy/add/build panels for the iPad version of Air Manager?

No the library is as it is. You can create your own, submit it, then hope that it is added to the library and then it will end up on the iPad some day. But the KAP140 should work fine for most cases.

Ok, thanks for the reply @Ralph :)

Is it possible to pay you to do one for me custom?

... and no, the KAP140 does not work properly in the Laminar stock Cessna.

So, short answer, no fully functional Autopilot for the Cessna 172 available for iPad then, correct?

For it to function 100% as in the simulator, it would have to be a Stek X55 as in the simulator. This one is only available in our premium Cessna panel in the desktop version. But the KAP will work for most features. Make sure that you're not using the Airfoil Labs version of the KAP!

Ok, cool, except (if I read correctly) the desktop app panels are not supported on MacOS (M1) using an iPad?

What do you mean with 'MacOS (M1) using an iPad'?

I am running Mac Mini M1 MacOS BigSur 11.6.1 and X-Plane 11r5

I thought I read that the panels for the Desktop version of your software do not work on an iPad in this configuration?
