Description

Add a whole new dimension of realism to your Infinite Flight experience with this polished, third-party add-on to Infinite Flight, the best mobile flight sim on the App Store!

Hear over 30 co-pilot voice samples during your flight, whether it's takeoff callouts like "V₁", "Rotate!", or "Positive Rate", or whether it's warnings when speed limits are being approached, or confirmation callouts when setting flaps or gear settings.

In-Flight Assistant is NOT a flight simulator itself but rather requires Infinite Flight to provide voice callouts and realistic automated warnings for your flights.

Check out a 7-minute video of the app in action at: http://www.inflightassistant.info

====================
HOW IT WORKS

Start In-Flight Assistant, then launch Infinite Flight on the same device - you'll hear a confirmation that In-Flight Assistant is connected. It will now be watching your flight and provide the callouts as you configured them within the app. It's that simple!

====================
CO-PILOT CALLOUTS

The following callouts are provided:

• "80 knots"
• "V₁"
• "V₂"
• "Rotate"
• "Positive Rate"
• "Let's watch our speed, captain" warning when taxiing or flying too fast
• "Gear up/down" confirmation
• "Flaps at XXX degrees" / "Flaps Final" confirmations
• Spoiler status
• 4 voices, including Mark 'Skyhawk Heavy' Denton!
• Autofill feature for v-speeds (NEW)

=============
PASSENGER ANNOUNCEMENTS (IN-APP PURCHASE)

* Welcome aboard announcement
* Arm doors for departure & cross-check
* Safety briefing
* Flight attendants, take seats for takeoff (when turning on strobes)
* "You may move about the cabin now, etc."
* Descent beginning
* Welcome post-landing

=============
RUNWAY AWARENESS AND ADVISORY SYSTEM (IN-APP PURCHASE)

* "APPROACHING RUNWAY 12R", "ON RUNWAY 12R"
* "CAUTION TAXIWAY"
* "FLAPS FLAPS"
* "UNSTABLE UNSTABLE"
* "TOO HIGH TOO HIGH"
* "TOO FAST TOO FAST"
* Many more..

====================
AUTOMATED GPWS WARNINGS, FLIGHT ALERTS, SIMPLE VNAV (IN-APP PURCHASE)

Experience fully-featured GPWS warning callouts such as "TOO LOW, GEAR", "SINK RATE", or "PULL UP!" - in accordance with the specification of the real-world Honeywell MK VI GPWS system - with all 6 modes supported, including turboprop alternative settings (automatically detected), Steep Approach Bias, Flap Override settings, and more.

(NEW) Also provides a waypoint proximity alert system and a simplified "VNAV" system where you can set altitudes and speeds you want the autopilot to have per waypoint!

The following callouts are provided:

• Autopilot disconnect warning sound (Airbus / Boeing)
• "GLIDESLOPE" both quiet and loud, depending on how low you are
• "SINKRATE"
• "PULL UP! PULL UP!"
• "TERRAIN! TERRAIN!"
• "DON'T SINK"
• "TOO LOW, TERRAIN"
• "TOO LOW, GEAR"
• "TOO LOW, FLAPS"
• "APPROACHING MINIMUMS"
• "MINIMUMS" or "MINIMUMS, MINIMUMS" (configurable)
• "BANK ANGLE" based on aircraft type, altitude, speed, autopilot setting, etc.
• "RETARD, RETARD" when landing in an Airbus

=============
VOICE COMMANDS (IN-APP PURCHASE)

Using a headset mic, use voice commands to control many of the airplane's systems! Once it is set up, In-Flight Assistant will be listening for your voice to say things like "gear up", "set heading 2-3-0", and much more, and your co-pilot will set the autopilot settings for you!

IMPORTANT A headset and a quiet environment is recommended for best accuracy. The stronger your non-American accent, the less accurate the recognition may work.

====================

Great, except new update

I love this app so so much you can see the effort and time taken, however with the new PA the developer has gotten very greedy $7.99 for one single sound out of 9 :( quite upset because of this! It should be like $13.00 for all of the PA pack...

Developer Response ,

The Passenger Announcement in-app unlocks ALL the PA sounds. Please shoot me an email if you're still having this issue!

Great add-on. Price leaves much to be desired.

Don't get me wrong, the app is amazing for what it does. I love that theres multiple call-outs and even the option for voice commands. I definitely think it's almost an essential for any avid IF aviator.

My only gripe is the price. We pay $8 and we start off with a few rudimentary call-outs. I can understand that to some extent, however there's four other categories of call-outs, costing $8 extra each. I personally find it outrageous that you're looking at $40 for what's advertised.

I understand that these developments are not cheap, and hope that the developer considers maybe lowering the prices across the board or the up-front app price. It just doesn't seem worth-it at this current stage.

Developer Response ,

The price for the core app and for each in-app module (hours and hours of work!) costs less than a month of an IF subscription.

You yourself say it adds so much - no one forces you to buy each individual add-on!

I believe each module easily adds $5 of value - sorry Australia seems to pay more, but that is out of my hands.

Please update so i can do speed references for A350

When can i expect the update so i can have speed references for A350?

Developer Response ,

This is because it the very simple VNAV system calculates it so that you will reach the waypoint at exactly that altitude. If you want to climb faster, add a waypoint earlier on and give it the same altitude - you will climb faster (max 5000 ft /min)
