Who on earth would bet that the person responsible for the best flight simulator available today also is a great entertainer? Your videos are awesome Austin!
In your delusional mind. The amount of users on the msfs platform has significantly surpassed the xplane community. That platform has brought many into the world of Aviation than laminar research ever will!
@Aviation i agree with all of this, minus the part where you stated that even P3D is better than MSFS. P3D is extremely outdated by now, and you need to lay down a lot of money into it to make it as realistic as MSFS is.
@Aviation Not everyone wants to be an airline pilot. Both of these sims have good in them for every type of flyer. Just pick the one that suites you. Simple!
This guy is so funny I just love his energy. I'd love to chill with him for a day lol don't matter what he's doing or talking about he just makes me smile
You're allowed to enjoy the Instructor Panel but just FYI this is nothing new, this has been out for some time since XP10. As a matter of fact it looks the same as XP11 and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same as XP10.
@@jamesyoung6878 Sure. Listen, I'm a longtime fan of XP myself, I just don't want to see too much praise here for what seems like nothing - doesn't seem like much has changed. In line with the overall sentiment with XP12 and I just wish LR would do better
A lot of pilots are aware of your comments, but the point is, they were happy with the XP10 and XP11 before MSFS2020 came out, and thanks to Laminar Research. Laminar Research must be happy for our future! Buy XP12 BETA and let's develop Laminar Research together!!! And the flight environment is a personal preference. No company can be defined as better. It has to do with individual computer specifications. In other words, it is enough to be satisfied with yourself, and MSFS must evolve as well!! If you love flying, you must buy the XP12 and MSFS 2020 together Just fly!!
As a pro trainer myself (lifecycle management of large, complex, high risk defence programmes) allow me to congratulate you Austin on this development and your passion for training. This will certainly help this XP novice to push the flying training envelope. PS can we have an Android version please?
One thing....Id like more options for maps on the instructor station....like an L-Chart so i can put the plane near a certain radial or fix. And a sectional option....that would be aweome.
That’s simply amazing ! Uh… Why don't I have the "Fronts" button which should be right after the "Wind" button to create thunderstorms? I'm using "Control Pad 1.08" on my iPad 12.5.7
We don't care about aircraft types, we care abut software updates, more control on moving around the instruments, more weather options, and more view options in monitors
I can't find the app on the Apple App Store and when I click the link in the description the screen is just blank. Anyone know where I can get the app?
Austin you should see if AOPA would do an article on this because this program could be an absolutely invaluable training aid and game changing tool to increase safety and pilot proficiency in the general aviation community (not to mention for professional pilots like myself as well) to keep skills sharp especially when time between real world flights grows for whatever reason.
Great idea- wonderful way to drag one of my non-flight simming local friends into this! But I'd need to find it for my Android tablet to do this. I could just imagine what kind of trouble someone who doesn't know what they are doing could possibly make for me, bwahahahahaha! 3:)
I had it but it stoped working, when I went to delete the app to try to reinstall it. I couldn’t find it in the App Store to reinstall. Very sad hopefully they get it back up.
I played around with 11 on a Mac M1 Mini and old Mac Book Pro, really old MBP. It was fun but flying in Oklahoma, where I live, was rather boring. I was getting OK at take offs and landings in beginner mode and started to look for more of a challenge. I picked up a new MBP M2 Pro and purchased 12. What a difference! Loaded Europe and am flying the Swiss Alps. We are planning for an upcoming trip and the terrain is spot on with all the other mapping I have looked at. One question, I find the configuration menu challenging to read due to the white text. Can I change it?
This is so cool! I downloaded it mainly for the Fronts option which I've always missed playing with since X-plane 10 or 9 can't remember exactly which and haven't been able to use that option since v11. But the fronts option is currently missing from the app after installing. Anyone know why?
Hi Austin, what are the specs of your Macbook and the settings and resolution at which you run XPlane? I'm trying to improve the fps in XPlane on my M1 Max MBP.
hey guys help pls i cant see the menus that austin has on the bottom of the screen i have my ips all correct i can just pause the other menus dont pop up help pls
I've been using X-Plane as commercial flight simulation software since 2010, and unfortunately I have to say that the instructor station software, including the iPad version, has taken a HUGE step backwards. So much so that for the first time we'll be using 3rd party instructor station software. Even Austin has expressed his displeasure in the instructor station in v11+. I really hoped they would have rebuilt it in v12.
Hi, I can’t get this working and I don’t know why. The app is telling me that because I’m running XP12 I need an app called X-Plane IOS. I can’t find an app of that name…I can only find an app called “Control Pad”
I try the App and the message appears says new App is made for xplane 12 but unfortunately it seems not available to download in my country Italy... Is it that True?
This app is not available - it says "App Not Available - this app is currently not available in your country or region". I'm in the US. Where is it available?
Now this is what msfs needs to catch up on. This is one thing that xplane has that msfs doesn't have and will keep people using xplane until msfs can get something as good
I love how Austin has taken a simulator he built to aid in his own instrument and has turned it into a real training aid that anyone can use!
Austin is an absolute asset to the aviation and aviation sim community!
This is amazing !! X-Plane remains the clear leader in authentic flight sim. Love my X-Plane 12 !
Who on earth would bet that the person responsible for the best flight simulator available today also is a great entertainer? Your videos are awesome Austin!

@Aviation "Graphics isn't important." Then I guess flying on an 8bit sim would save a lot of money
@Aviation Not everyone wants to be an airline pilot. Both of these sims have good in them for every type of flyer. Just pick the one that suites you. Simple!
That’s amazing, no having to go through menus (interrupting the flight), and it’s all real time updates. Thanks for this Austin!
This would be amazing for Android, please!
Awesome add on for the SIM...Thank you Austin for making this tool!
As a part 121 Ground Instructor, I teach in the sims. This is just like being at one of the big sims. This is incredibly cool.
This guy is so funny I just love his energy. I'd love to chill with him for a day lol don't matter what he's doing or talking about he just makes me smile
Austin taking X-Plane to the next level !!
Yup finally something that make me want to buy xplane for my training, sold well done Austin !

Is fantastic! Hope there will be an Android version following!
Absolutely brilliant idea Austin! Hands down Xplane is the best home simulator out there!
This InstructorStation shows that XP is a serious flightsim. Imagine MSFS having an instructor station, already the thought of it is absurd hahaha.
not impossible if 3rd party addon
I came here for an XP fanboy comment (ie. XP fanboy gibberish) and I am not disappointed, found one. Worth it.
@@activex7327 xp is better because.... it is better 😁
@@activex7327 if youre an fs2020 fanboy then why are you watching?
@@BotanistOnDuna You implied incorrectly, next time try to answer the question XP fanboy, if you speak the English language.😅😅😅
Amazing! Especially liked the weather fronts!
Why is this not available for Android? Not everyone likes Apple products... 🤨
Apple is the worst company ever. Very greedy and other companies started to follow it
I do not like apple and instructor station should be optimized for apple and Android
@@blacktsiawd90 Exactly!
It’s gone
Get an apple then💀
Mind boggling. The last time I used X-Plane was on a 2006 iMac. Excited to try v12 on my Mini M2 Pro.

This is great! My son is just starting to work on his glider license and I'm finishing up my CFI-G license, so I'm looking forward to playing Smeagol!
Will it avail for android?
Same Question
Don't count on it.
Absolutely incredible I love this

PS can we have an Android version please?
@2:39 He actually "BOOPS" the I-Pad!
I thought about this feature for streamers. Allow a member/subscriber too choose one or two random failures remotely.
Any word on what happened to this app. X-plane 12 keeps promoting it nevertheless. Not good for PR in my opinion.
Awesome
Just fantastic!!
Can't wait for a non apple version. Take my money! 💰💸
Very cool!
Commenting halfway through the demo, but anyway to set to have random events commanded from the app to test us solo flight simmers?
Great but night mode and Android are mandatory...
Well, it DOES have a night mode...

i dont have an i pad or i phone or anyone to be a co pilot going to have to get these🤣 an amazing idea for x plane nice one Austin😊
When will this come back to the app store? I'd like to use this with my students
Doesn't exist on the app store.
Brilliant work Austin thank you. 👍
Can't find this app in the app store?

Does it work with windows?
This app doesn't appear on the app store anymore in the U.S. Hope it comes back!!
Look great mate. I just hope my wife doesn't try to hijack my flights with her iPad, lol!
Will it be available for android as well?
Nice but I need an android version. Definitely not buying overpriced Apple junk.
This is fantastic
Saw you met Swiss001. Have fun on vacation 😊

Now THAT'S the way to setup a flight. Can it be done from the main sim so that we can easily set up our flight?
The app is not available in my region Switzerland. When will you make it available worldwide?
The app is not available in Italy. Any project to release it in the future?
Amazing
Where do I get this app? It’s not in the apple App Store.
I had it but it stoped working, when I went to delete the app to try to reinstall it. I couldn’t find it in the App Store to reinstall. Very sad hopefully they get it back up.
Is there any ETA when this will be available again on the app store? Or is there any other place where it can be downloaded?
This is amazing. Thanks Austin.
How do I download the App in iOS, when I click on the description link it says App Not Available in your Region, I'm in the US (New York).
Read in Jeremy Clarkson's voice:
"Please make this for Android, PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE" 🙏
Can I connect the app to X-Plane 11?
It seems like a great system…possible to add it to the Canadian App Store?
Excellent!

Can not find the App Looks cool
I cannot find this App that you are using in Apple Apps.
Oh Austin....
Is this app still a thing?
Apple only? Sorry, that blocks me out.
Not available on Australia App Store :(
Does it work on the demo? I am not having any luck!
Hi, I can’t get this working and I don’t know why. The app is telling me that because I’m running XP12 I need an app called X-Plane IOS. I can’t find an app of that name…I can only find an app called “Control Pad”
Where is the snow?
will i be able to Run Xplane 12 on gtx 1650 ? with i7 9700k ? 16gb ram ? i cant find any info online - not looking for super graphical performance btw
Just found out this App isn’t available in my region (Canada). Good Grief!
hey, my xplane 12 is bugged, every time i load a new airport,the airport is under water
I try the App and the message appears says new App is made for xplane 12 but unfortunately it seems not available to download in my country Italy... Is it that True?
Black text on a dark green background, bad idea.
Does this work with Xplane 11?
Anyone got the bug report for the bird-reflections ?
Plus it keeps shutting down on me
This app is not available - it says "App Not Available - this app is currently not available in your country or region". I'm in the US. Where is it available?
Same here.
Thats not a funny Flightsimgame, thats more like a Flighttrainingtool. Good work btw.
Some of us use android, Austin...
I dont think he cares
So pc gamers need an apple product?
Now this is what msfs needs to catch up on. This is one thing that xplane has that msfs doesn't have and will keep people using xplane until msfs can get something as good
x-plane has so much things ahead of the msfs weather sim.
@@GharacDurac like what and don't say flight model it's a stupid argument
Where can I find X-plane ios, When I try to use CONTROL PAD it asks me to use X-plane IOS
Remember, this is X-Plane 12, not 11...
I've flown a 737-800 in one of those sims
This is why X-Plane is sooooooooo much better, than that eye-candy GAME, called MSFS2020 !
Can we have it for android
Nope - iOS only because Android is a massive time sink development-wise.
@@XPlaneOfficial ok, thank you for responding! I hope at some point you might change your mind though so android users can finally use it
Imagine if Austin had the resources Microsoft has. OMG.
