Another perfectly executed app by Joao Cabral – AirFMC Review

One of the headaches for the serious flight simmer using FMCs in X-Plane, is programming the various FMCs with the mouse. Takes forever and prone to lots of missteps. The AirFMC app relieves that pain, even making it fun. And being able to do that from a remote device adds to the convenience. It is beautifully designed and laid out, reminiscent of another favorite app of mine, his companion AirTrack app. The look and feel is no comparison to the clunky appearance of iFMS, an attempt at a full-fledged FMC, though flawed. I tried AirFMC with the native X-Plane FMC as well as the FMCs on my Ramazzess 777, Neo a320, and CRJ200—all worked beautifully (now, if only AirTrack worked with those non-native FMCs as well—that app would be perfect). Joao hints at an actual flight planning FMC that uses SIDS, STARS, and other route information to chart out a flight. Of course that would require a subscription to Navigraph, or similar, and a hefty piece of logic (the only FMC that does this accurately and consistently, either as an app or in X-Plane itself, is the Ramazzess 777 [haven't flown their 757, but I assume it would be about the same]).
