In addition to its beautiful flight deck instruments, fDeck also boasts a built-in aviation moving map that displays your location, relevant airspace, airport information, weather data, and navigation details. You can easily adjust your virtual aircraft's position on the map, and the flight instruments will accurately reflect this change.

If you use the X-Plane flight simulator, you can even connect the app to drive the flight instruments directly from X-Plane!

Key features of fDeck include:

  • Accurate and visually appealing instrument graphics with smooth animations
  • User-friendly grid and swipe interface modes
  • Full-screen mode for focused instrument viewing or multiple instrument displays
  • The ability to tune each instrument slot to a different radio station

This app is a labor of love from the developer, who offers it free of charge. However, please note that the app does include in-app ads. To enjoy an ad-free experience, remove the user station limitation, receive monthly navigation database updates, access map weather overlaps, and unlock unlimited connectivity with X-Plane, you can join the fDeck Premium Lounge via an in-app subscription or one-time purchase.

If you encounter any issues with the app, it is highly recommended to contact the developer directly rather than leaving a negative rating. The developer is committed to addressing and resolving any problems or answering your questions. Simply use the integrated "Contact the developer" function found in the app's settings page.
