Descripción

fDeck is an aircraft flight deck in your pocket!

fDeck:flight instruments provides real-world functionality to a suite of full-featured, graphically beautiful flight instruments for your mobile device.

The following instruments are currently available in the app:

• Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) - a virtual Bendix-King KI-525A HSI

• VHF Omnidirectional Range Receiver (VOR) - a virtual Bendix-King KI-203 VOR

• Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) - a virtual Bendix-King KI-227 ADF

• Artificial Horizon - a virtual Bendix-King KG-258 artificial Horizon

• Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)

• Aircraft Compass, with functioning heading bug

• Altimeter - with functioning pressure adjustments

• Weather and Wind - display current live weather and wind information including head/crosswind components

fDeck contains a regularly updated worldwide navigation database containing over 20 thousand airports and navigation stations that you can virtually tune. You can also create your own virtual stations at any location of your choosing. This lets you practice flight navigation procedures at airports that are not equipped with existing real-world VOR or NDBs.

In addition to the beautiful flight deck, fDeck also has a built-in aviation moving map that shows your location as well as relevant airspace, airport and navigation data. You can move your location on the map to reposition your virtual aircraft and the flight instruments will reflect this new location. This allows you to use fDeck as a radio navigation trainer - you can see in real-time what the VOR, HSI or NDB will look like at your new location!

Do you use the X-Plane flight simulator? You can drive the fDeck flight instruments straight from X-Plane itself using our free X-Plane connector.

Key features:

• Instruments are proudly graphically accurate with ultra smooth animations

• Grid and Swipe user interface modes

• Go full-screen to focus on a single instrument

• Tune each instrument slot to a different radio station

• Map view with aviation overlays showing location and tuned radio stations

• Simulate flight by panning your location on the map - use the app as a radio aids trainer!

• Worldwide aviation database containing over 20k airports and radio navigation aids, updated monthly

• Fully searchable navigation database, filterable by type

• Each instrument has an associated video tutorial

• Add your own nav aids - want to practice VOR radial tracking on your house - now you can!

• Supports tablets and phones and both portrait and landscape orientations

Novedades de la versión 2.3.6

• NEW LAYOUT ENGINE

The layout engine has been completely rewritten from scratch. Following feedback from my amazing users I have simplified the layout to make it far easier to use whilst flying. Gone is the slightly awkward and problematic pan/zoom canvas. Instead there is now two modes, ‘Grid’ and ‘Swipe’. The app defaults to Grid on tablets and Swipe on all other devices. Try each layout out and see which you prefer on your device. You can switch layouts in the app settings. In addition to the new layout modes, a ‘double-click’ interface has been added to each instrument. Double clicking on any instrument will immediately make it fullscreen. Double clicking on it again will return you to the flight deck grid/swipe layout.

• NEW X-PLANE CONNECTOR

You can connect your X-Plane flight simulator to fDeck! Practice using fDeck "in-flight", or use fDeck as permanent external flight deck for X-Plane - the way you use it is only limited by your imagination! fDeck even sends commands to X-Plane to tune nav1/nav2/adf1 and synchronise OBS settings! I must admit that I built the plugin to enable me to better test fDeck without having to go flying. Testing the app is a great excuse to fly I know, but prohibitively expensive! More details can be found on our website, under the X-Plane plugin section, including instructions on how to download and install the plugin.
