Description

HomeSim is a touchscreen interface for use with X-Plane12 Flight Simulator! HomeSim provides a way of using an iPad, iPhone, or both to control most of the functions that would normally require the use of a keyboard and mouse, custom button assignments, or dedicated hardware to control. HomeSim includes: An RMU (Radio Management Unit), An AFCS (Automatic Flight Control Sysytem, or autopilot), A PFD (Primary Flight Display), Landing Gear, Flaps, and Parking Brake controls, Basic Engine Instruments, A VIEW management window for changing the main display of the X-Plane, and an interface to simplify data entry for flight plans on G1000 equipped aircraft. All of the controls use the typical gestures of a touchscreen to make changing frequencies, identifiers, autopilot modes, and navigation displays much quicker, allowing you the ability to practice procedures, like instrument approaches, while devoting little thought to how to properly set things up - the controls generally mimic the devices in real planes, while adding functionality that will increase your situational awareness. More than one iOS device can be connected to X-Plane at a time so that you can have different devices act as dedicated hardware. Free your main visual from the internal cockpit view by using your iOS device for the Flight Instruments, Navigation, and Engine Instruments. Practice using autopilot functions that you are unfamiliar with, and get aquainted with more sophisticated airplanes without having to look around the cockpit for the new controls. Using controls that will work with any aircraft (as long as the aircraft has an autopilot and radios) will free you from thinking about the differences between aircraft, and start to find more similarities - making you a better pilot. Enjoy flying X-Plane more by paying less attention to how to operate the simulation, and more attention to operating your flight!
