Your iPad, as a live cockpit panel.

A full-screen modern panel — Garmin-style PFD, HSI, and engine display — driven in real time by X-Plane over Wi-Fi.

Six instruments, one panel

Everything updates live as you fly — smooth needles, scrolling tapes, and rolling digit drums.

G5-style PFD Page

Attitude with pitch ladder & roll arc, airspeed and altitude tapes, heading tape, VSI, slip/skid ball, baro and selected-altitude bug.

G5-style HSI Page

Rotating compass rose with heading bug, ground track and desired track, distance to waypoint, and wind direction & speed.

GI 275 style EIS

RPM, fuel quantity & flow, oil pressure and temperature, CHT, battery amps/volts, and outside air temperature.

Color-banded indicator with the V-speed arcs for your aircraft.

Turn Coordinator

Standard-rate turn with an inclinometer ball.

Vertical Speed

Fixed-scale climb/descent indicator with a moving pointer.

How it works

A small plugin streams telemetry from your simulator to the iPad. No cables, no setup screens to wrestle with.

1 · Install the plugin

Drop the server plugin into your flight simulator. Download the plugin (Windows) →

2 · Open the app

SixPackX auto-discovers the simulator on your local Wi-Fi network — no IP typing required.

3 · Fly

The panel comes alive with live attitude, speed, altitude, engine and navigation data.

Recommendations

A couple of tips for the smoothest experience.

1 · Lock 60 FPS

Run X-Plane with graphics settings that let you sustain a locked 60 FPS with VSync ON — this gives a super-smooth instrument experience on the iPad.

2 · Same network

Make sure X-Plane and the iPad are on the same network and the same subnet.
