SimpleKeyPad - Fsx Reviews

This software is the best item to have for your flight sim. I'm one who loves his simulator. This app works great it is fast responding and makes it much easy for people that don't have the neat desktop panels to easily switch buttons on and off. For instance if you are on an ils approach you need to turn off your speed and auto pilot fast. With this software you can do it.... Before you needed to press shift 5 to open a panel and switch the button. With touch of your finger in seconds the item you want is going on/off or up/down. This peace of software changed my experience in flight simulator x. I will never fly on fsx without it!!!!!!!!!!!

Great FSX App

If you are like me, you are always having issues trying to remember what key you need to change something. This app makes it really easy to do some of the things you need most. While I would like to be able to add some others to this, this is a great start. Now I just need 2 iPads to run other FSX apps. I see in the future iPad flight decks. :-)

Works in FSX and FS2004

Makes it very flexible for us flight simmers rather than using the keyboard in the dark (night flights). Ipad is illuminated and you don't have to keep searching for keys. I think the next update should include air brakes / deploy spoilers (for landing). I would give it 5 stars for those additions.

Excellent Program

Had problem loading but was my PC's issue. Received immediate and excellent from program developer. I now use this program constantly.

Great app worth it's weight in price

Love it for eliminating one of my modified keyboards in my simpit. Since the iPad illuminates the keys no more fumbling. Mount it to your simpit desk and I guarantee you'll find it invaluable in no time flat. Could use a few more keys and features I look forward to in updates but is far better eyecandy than the other fsx control button apps that seem a bit cluttered. Well done, if a bit cartoony I use it every flight now.

I want to rate it higher but....

I purchased this app hoping that it would make my flight sim experience more enjoyable and a bit easier. After downloading the app and server client, I've had difficulty getting the two to talk to each other. I've emailed the developer twice now and have not received any feedback as of yet. I want to five it 5 stars, but I'm taking away two for poor customer service at the moment. Will re-rate if I get contacted by the developer.

What a bargain!

Does most of the functions in FSX you commonly use your keyboard for. I find it so easy now to use all the autopilot settings, ATC, and view commands. Downloaded the server program for the PC and had it installed and running in three minutes. Think I will remap some keys on my flight stick and throttle so I don't think I really need the keyboard at all. Guess I'll use my slide out keyboard tray for my inflight meals and drinks! Thanks for a great program! Cheers!

Room for improvement

+ Installation very easy. Compatible Pilot Edge ATC service. Works as advertised. - Hard to watch monitor while adjusting com/nav frequencies. Needs to have a letter function for programming GPS. Screen should emulate standard cockpit instrument locations or give the user option for customization. Some functions are redundant as I have ability to program flight sim hardware to select views, operate gear and flaps and the like. Overall a good app. Hope to see improvements in the near future.

Simple CRAP

This app is in its current form is just crap. It can not be customized or mapped In any way, you can't even change the screen orientation from landscape. Most functions do not work, many buttons operate controls that they should not, and I was not testing on a PMDG product. This app needs a function to remap and rename buttons as a minimum. Until that feature is included, I would look elsewhere for a FSX to iPad interface. I want my $5 back!
