## Air Manager Description
Air Manager lets you design custom flight simulator instrument panels on your iPad. Panels can connect to X-plane, FS2020, FS2024, Prepar3d and FSX.

Use your iPad as a primary instrument panel and have your computer monitor for outside view only, or use your iPad as a secondary com stack to easily set frequencies through the iPad touch screen. Air Manager comes with more than 1000 free instruments. Add, drag, scale, build your instrument panel in only a matter of minutes. Save your created panels, and switch between them quickly.

User friendly
No difficult settings or downloading and configuring of third party applications. You can download the necessary plugins from our website for free. We offer a complete solution!

Place instruments anywhere you like
Tap an instrument to add it to the canvas, hold and drag to rearrange, and pinch to scale, it’s as easy as that.

Loads of free instruments
The application comes with more than 1000 free instruments, and this collection keeps growing.

Buttons, Switches and Knobs
Controls like Buttons, Switches, and Knobs let you control the simulator from your 2D panels, so your Flight Simulation is super realistic. Setting a radio frequency or the altimeter setting, moving electrical switches, and controlling the autopilot are just a few examples of what you can do without directly accessing the flight simulator.

Multiplatform and multi simulator
The Air Manager plugin runs on Microsoft Window, Mac OSX, and Linux, both 32 bits and 64 bits, and is compatible with Laminar Research X-Plane 9, 10 and 11, Microsoft FSX and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D.

## Air Manager Reviews in United States

### ***** "Works great with no extra software running. Once hook installed, all good"
This is awesome. Love the ready to go templates. I haven’t encountered any in app purchases either, this is the full package. Active development as well! Get it now!
-- ChadillacDad, 2024-10-03

### ***** "Streaming in X-Plane seems magical"
Starting with version 4.2 the ability to stream the glass displays from the G530/430 and G1000 instruments directly from the simulator to your networked iPad is fantastic. It’s like having a fully operational G 1000 or 530 with touch control buttons and knobs for a tiny fraction of the cost of actual hardware. The iPad screen quality is better than anything out there on any dedicated hardware instrument you can buy.

### *---- "Air Manager for iPad: A Frustrating Experience"
As a flight simulator enthusiast, I was excited to try out Air Manager on my iPad with MSFS 2020 installed on my PC. However, my experience with this app has been less than satisfactory. Let me share my thoughts on why I found it unusable and disappointing.
The Good:
Concept: The idea of creating custom instrument panels using an iPad is appealing. Having touch-enabled controls for my flight simulator sounded promising.
The Bad:
Flashing Dials: The most frustrating issue I encountered was what I call flash dials. When I loaded an instrument panel, the dials would initially appear full-sized on the iPad screen, but then they would suddenly shrink to show only a portion of the dial. This inconsistency made it impossible to use effectively.
Hours of Frustration: I spent hours trying to figure out a solution. I scoured forums, read documentation, and experimented with settings, but the problem persisted. It felt like a waste of time and money.
Lack of Clarity: The installation process was not straightforward. I expected a simple setup, but instead, I found myself navigating through confusing menus and options. The lack of clear instructions added to my frustration.
Conclusion:
Air Manager has potential, but the current version falls short. The flash dials issue severely impacts usability, and the complexity of installation makes it far from an easy add-on. I’ve requested support, but until this major problem is resolved, I cannot recommend this app to fellow simmers.
If you’re considering Air Manager, proceed with caution. Hopefully, future updates will address these issues and improve the overall user experience.

### ***-- "Great app, but missing some functionality"
I bought it for the generic Garmin 400/500 series GPS for MSFS, but it says they only allow touch and won’t display anything on the screen on iPad. 

If that functionality happens, I’d gladly repurchase.
-- Justanelf82, 2023-02-20

### *---- "Does not work with Apple Studio Ultra M1"
I have been unable to get the plugin to work with my computer unless I toggle “open with rosetta” in preferences. I have contacted support and started a ticket, with no fix. I’m still hoping to be able to use the app in the future. It would make flying x-Plane 12 much better.
-- Dorfknarr, 2023-01-18

### ****- "Love the app, last update 4.1 has issues though"
Must have app if you like flight simulators, connects perfectly with Xplane 11, however update 4.1 doesn't work for me on iOS 9.3.5, I have three iPad 2s and in all of them the app crashes when starting and doesn't enter the app, didn't happen on 4.0. Hope it gets fixed because I love using it.
-- juanork2, 2022-05-09

### *---- "Nothing but at big X"
Got a red x thru the screen. Won’t close, could not find directions
Got it to run my zibo tablet,don’t think it can, or I have to pay extra

Maybe I missed something
-- Bpchino, 2022-02-17

### ***** "I love this app"
I struggle to read my Beechcraft Bonanza F33a instruments on X-Plane 11.  This app allowed me to create a close to identical instrument panel on my old IPad that is far more readable than my HD monitor.  Set up time was negligible as I started from a Beechcraft B58 cockpit and replaced stuff to match the F33a.  Only complaint is having to buy the desktop version to actually create new instruments for the F33a and V35.
-- PastorJack07, 2022-01-14

### *---- "Waste of money"
Not updated, unreliable and not worth the money.
-- Manthini, 2022-01-08

### ***** "Works Great for 152 MSFS2020"
Connects automatically each time and the gauges are very responsive. Very happy with this app! Much cheaper than other solutions I’ve looked at.
