I love your stuff! I am just getting back into flying and got my medical and BFR. I bought a Mooney 201 and will be building a complete simulator while doing my IPC. Monday I will be flying my plane to Salem to get a complete new avionics upgrade. This includes Garmin G3x, GTN 750, duel G-5s, and the Garmin 500 autopilot. I am going to do a complete replica of the plane in a simulator. I am going to upgrade my yoke, and build my own instrument panel. I have to say that the Real Sim stuff seems crazy expensive for what you get. I can buy a 3d printer, some Arduino Megas, and some early generation Ipads and make my own. It's going to be a journey and won't be done before the instrument panel is done and I start my IPC but I should have enough done to use the simulator to supplement the training. Hopefully the new force feedback yokes will be available by the time I get there. However, IPC is all about procedures so it isn't that important.
The heading got me excited. I own a Vans RV8 with glass panel and no instruments in the back seat. I thought what a great idea. 😂 I can stream the instruments onto the ipad and my son in the back seat can have an instrument panel, other than looking over my shoulder when he flys. Dam 😢 only for simulators...
I tried air manager for iPad and MSFS about a year ago. It was ok. I hope streaming becomes available for MSFS. The current combination isn’t workable.
Nice video, although checking the version of Air Manager for Android is 3.7 in the Google Store, and you are talking about version 4.2, Sim Innovations shows 3.7 for iPad as well. I am not sure of what you are talking about is available in the stores. May be you could clarify that point. After further check I see that the version for the plug-in for the tablet version is 4.2. The plug-in is installed in the PC. Thanks
The functionality of streamed displays was added to the desktop version in 4.2. I thought they used to keep the version number on the desktop and tablet versions the same but evidently not. It is in the latest tablet versions. Sorry about the confusion. Just replace “4.2” with “latest” in my opening comment
Thanks Russ, my cockpit is build based on air manager, however my impression is that siminnovations is very silent, means not marketing at all and not further developing the capabilities which is a shame for this great product.
@@global6000 we are developing yes 🙂But we're not much into marketing, the product should speak for itself I guess. We're working on our own map system right now.
Russ, two quick questions. For VR flight, Quest 3 or HP Reverb G2 ? Second, is there a way to communicate with you outside of public comments, I.e., email?
@@ralphrietveld My apologies but I'm 71 and fairly new to simming. I've been using some of the available Air Manager instruments for the Zibo 737 on an iPad. Is what Russ describes here a completely different method? How do you set it up on the iPad? He says you don't need the desktop program, but I don't see anything in the iPad app about it. Is there a tutorial somewhere? Thanks!
Thanks for this Russ. Do you know why there is a severe lack of free airliner instruments available for FS2020 to download from Sim Innovations? We have lots of instruments for prop aircraft (a lot of them variations of the same base instrument model), however, the few airliner instruments are almost all restricted to X-Plane or FSX, and with variable naming changes they are no use in FS2020.
@@ralphrietveld That's fantastic news. What's your thoughts on variable name standardisation? When I see a 'functionally identical' instrument not work between two aircraft that share that exact same functionality it frustrates me (and I know, many others). Do you thing MS/Asobo should be enforcing variable name standardisation?
Works cool like touch screen Is I possible to have multiple split screen / iPads for sections of instrument sections. It is less expensive than pricey I Instrumentation. Wow!
Unfortutely no. They say it is a Apple issue with connected peripherals but I think you can connect a joystick in Infinate Flight, Time to revisit that.

Sweet , thank you for what you do for the community.
Thanks for the heads up Russ. I'd kind of given up on the iPad app but now with this functionality I'm sure going to be using it.
Thanks for that Russ. Looks like a worthy add on.
Really interesting app, and a nice, concise review, or introduction. Getting away from mousing around knobs and switches would be great.
Great video, Mr. Barlow!
Missed you at FS Expo
That’s pretty kewl! Thanx Russ!
Great video.
As all your videos are.

Microsoft would have to implement that. We don't have high hopes for it.
obvious question .. interface to Knobster?
No, it's not possible to connect 'your own' USB device to an Apple product.
A link to the app would be nice, thanks

They don’t market a lot but I’m pretty sure they’re constantly developing
@@global6000 we are developing yes 🙂But we're not much into marketing, the product should speak for itself I guess. We're working on our own map system right now.
@@ralphrietveld nice! What is the map system able to do? For instruments to have independent map operations for gps simulations or?
@@global6000 build our own GPS map, so not OpenStreetMap. Then on top of it we can start building navigation.
Russ, two quick questions. For VR flight, Quest 3 or HP Reverb G2 ? Second, is there a way to communicate with you outside of public comments, I.e., email?
Thanks Russ. The instrument streaming is intriguing.
Could I stream the A320 MCDU for example?
Ditto for overhead panels?
MCDU probably yes, but not on an iPad. Overhead no. Only digital screens.

Airliner instruments are a lot of work. We are working on a full 737 set right now, which will be released this year.

@@ChrisM541 Microsoft/Asobo will never listen. There are many bugs which we have filed, which have never been solved. They got their own agenda.

Instrumentation. Wow!
Using the desktop version on two 15” touch screens and since the xp12 beta releases on fps loss!
Does the app work with the Knobster?
Unfortutely no. They say it is a Apple issue with connected peripherals but I think you can connect a joystick in Infinate Flight, Time to revisit that.
Is it working while in VR/MR?
Probably, never tested it.
