In the Pro version of the app, for aircraft that make use of X-Plane instruments, long pressing the NAV or APP buttons on the AUTOPILOT page will sync the nav radio's OBS to the Direct-TO course when receiving a VOR or the localizer front course when receiving an ILS or LOC.  The radio must be receiving a signal for this to work, simply tuning a VOR station when out of range will have no effect.  By default, both NAV 1 and NAV 2 radios' OBSs will be sync'd but this can be changed on the Settings -> Autopilot page.  HDG (bug), ALT, VS and IAS can also be sync'd by long pressing their corresponding buttons.

If you like to fly with the volume cranked up then you may want to try a pair of bud earphones with a built-in microphone.  They can be picked up quite cheaply and the earphone's microphone will do a better job than the phone or tablet lying on your desk.

1.  Enable mock locations by following the instructions found here, https://badelf.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000708633-enabling-android-mock-location.

2. Check that 'Settings -> General -> Location -> Mode' or 'Settings -> Security & location -> Location  -> Mode' is set to 'High accuracy'.

3.  Start XP Remote and enable 'Menu -> Settings -> Autopilot -> Broadcast aircraft location to other apps' or toggle the setting off then on again if the app was already running.

4. XP Remote needs to be running in the background to broadcast position updates so use the home (center) or overview (right) button to switch to other mapping apps.  When you're done, switch back to XP Remote and exit the app using the back button.

There are voice command profiles available for generic X-Plane, HotStart TBM 900, Zibo 737, EADT x737, Flight Factor 757/767 (FF7x7), Flight Factor A320 Ultimate (FFA320) and the SSG Boeing 747-8 Inter v2 aircraft.  Profiles inherit from the generic X-Plane profile which is why you will find irrelevant commands such as ARRESTING HOOK DOWN or PARACHUTE DEPLOY in the other profiles.  Each profile's list of voice commands can be viewed and printed from within the app but we've also attached them to this FAQ for your convenience.

We're planning on adding more profiles so please get in touch and let us know your favorite add-on aircraft.

Please read the attached TechNote, commands_technote.pdf.

OK, so you've installed the ExtPlane plugin by extracting the contents of the ExtPlane.zip archive to the Resources\plugins folder of your X-Plane installation and started X-Plane.  You've entered the first IP address from the 'Settings -> Network' page but still can't connect.  Does your PC have a firewall running?  If so then you may need to add a firewall rule/exception to allow incoming and outgoing access to TCP port 51000.  Unfortunately adding a firewall rule/exception is vendor specific so we can't list the steps here, but if you Google for it, e.g. "mcafee personal firewall add exception", you should be able to find the information online.

Note: On Windows, the plugin depends on the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (vcredist_x64.exe) which can be downloaded from Microsoft should you need it, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784.  If you see "X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/ExtPlane/64/win.xpl : Error Code = 126 : The specified module could not be found." in X-Plane's Log.txt output, then you will need to install it.
