About this game

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.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH IN-FLIGHT ASSISTANT DISCONNECTING, READ THE ANDROID README CONNECTION GUIDE AT http://bit.ly/if-a-connection-guide

In-Flight Assistant is NOT a flight simulator itself but rather is an add-on to the separate app Infinite Flight to provide voice callouts and realistic automated warnings for your flights.

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

Start In-Flight Assistant, then launch Infinite Flight on the same device (make sure “Enable Infinite Flight Connect” is on in the Infinite Flight settings) - 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!

====================
CONNECTION ISSUES??? READ THIS FIRST

1. Try turning off your battery saving mode since it shuts down background apps
2. Try turning down your IF graphics level if your device is not very high-level
3. Try rebooting your device
4. Make sure "IF Connect" is enabled in your IF settings.

^ These steps solve 80%+ of connection issues.

Ratings and reviews

App is a great enhancement to IF. Adds more immersive realism and reduces Pilot work load. However it offers full features to iOS users and reduced features to Android users. Developer states resent game updates have changed the the API and created issues. Also there have been no inhancements or improvements in along time, despite the continuous changes to IF. "Appears" to be dead in the water despite suggestions for new features . The developer "Appears" to have other interests now.

I think this is a great add on for infinite flight but I wish that there were more sounds like chating through the cockpit doors from the cabin on the ground or when your on the wing view in the air. I also think that the "flight attendnets prepare for takeoff" would be on a button rather like the strobe or landing light button, then on the runway because I will cross a runway and it will go off and I'm still far from the runway I intend to take off from. Thank you again for all the hard work.

Worst customer service I have dealt with in a long time. Refuses to help and insist it is on your end regardless of information given. Before the app had stopped working it did as directed for the longest of time even during extremely long flights but now constantly resets and they said the issue is my fault and won't look at any other avenue. Wish I could start over without having purchased this and looked elsewhere.

What's new

- complete overhaul of the inner code to support the new API of Infinite Flight 23
- V-speed improvements
- misc. bug fixes
