Description
“X-Mapper Pro” is a helper application for X-Plane Desktop flight simulator. Connecting to a computer running X-Plane makes your iPhone/iPad work as a useful flight-assistance device including map tracker, flight yoke and full-equipped avionics panel.
*This is a LEGACY APPLICATION for backward compatibility with older versions of X-Plane. If you are using X-Plane 11 as well as X-Plane 10.40 or later, TRY NEWLY RELEASED X-MAPPER TNG (free App with paid upgrade) INSTEAD.
*This application requires full or demo version of X-Plane 9 or 10 Desktop (for Mac/Windows/Linux). CANNOT used with X-Plane Mobile for iPhone/iPad.
MAP TRACKER
The location and heading of the simulated aircraft will be displayed in the map with an orange icon when settings completed and network connection established. As “Pro” edition bonus feature, the flight path is also drawn on the map as orange lines. Other map tracker features are as ones with “X-Mapper Lite.”
FLIGHT YOKE
Touching and holding on the white slider activates motion sensor that allows you to control your aircraft like as 3-axis joystick. It has following features:
–Controlling the aileron and the elevator by the tilt of your device
–Controlling the rudder by the slider for taxiing and crosswind takeoff/landing
–Releasing the slider disables the motion sensor and maintains trim-neutral
–Auto-calibrated elevator allows you comfortable tilt-operation
The motion sensor is enabled only while touched on, so you may let your device down anytime without unexpected consequence. It is convenient for auxiliary control in IFR flight.
THROTTLE CONTROLLER
With the black slider, you can control the throttle as well as watch the auto-throttle feedback. This smart controller allows you fine tuning of jet engines without expensive dedicated devices. Also, there is a handy reverser button for smooth operation at landing and rejecting takeoff.
AVIONICS PANEL
The full-equipped avionics panel allows you to operate various radio and autopilot equipment. It is useful especially for IFR operations that was bothering the pilot in busy. Also, you can setup the autobrake even if omitted in some cockpit panels.
MULTI-DEVICE CONNECTION
You can connect up to four iPhone/iPad devices running multiple X-Mappers at the same time. Download and install X-Mapper Pro for each device. No additional payment will occur to download for devices belongs to the same App Store account.

What’s New
Version 1.2.3
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Version 1.2.3 added instructions to setup X-Plane 11. Note that using this application with X-Plane 11 is unsupported though you can still try it with certain settings for the mean time. X-Mapper Pro isn’t guaranteed to work with future versions of X-Plane 11 and no more supports multi-device connection.
As the release of this update, functional enhancement and compatibility maintenance will be discontinued on X-Mapper Pro. We are sorry for the unavoidable discontinuation of the legacy application. Instead, we are introducing a successor application “X-Mapper TNG” with formal support for X-Plane 11 and unlimited multiple device support. If you are using X-Plane 11 as well as X-Plane 10.40 or later, please try the alternative application for free with paid upgrade.
Ratings and Reviews
Very Handy
I've only used this app to track my flight, not to use it as a controller. It works great thus far. No plug-in is needed therefore it should work on Mac, Windows and Linux. (I use it on OS X).
I have two enhancement suggestions. One, let it work in landscape mode as well as portrait (for flight tracking) and two, have a option to turn on a "trail line" that shows the path your aircraft has travelled.
After reading the descriptions of a number of the other X-Plane flight tracking apps I am satisfied with this one. Again, no plug is needed. It uses the already built into iPhone/iPad control feature.
Not mad but disappointed
I bought this app after bring very satisfied with the demo version of it. Very disappointingly, the avionics didn't work and neither did the throttle, or "flight yoke."
Maybe it'll work on your device, but I can tell you now that you should consider the device you're using. Maybe the higher end, best apple devices will work, but my iPod wont work. Just something to think about. I bought this with an iTunes gift card from some website so the consequence isn't as bad, but it might be a worse feeling for another buyer. The only thing guaranteed, is a little less lag.
The thing is Laminar Research are finally back, working on their mobile apps so keep updated I guess, and maybe this app will be as great as described...
Great but glitchy
Great companion app with useful functionality. Fully integrates with most aircraft autopilot systems, but may not work with some that have their own operational plugins (x737, for example). I would give it 5 stars if it weren't so unstable. The app crashes my iPad Air repeatedly during use (restarts my actual iPad, not just the app). Happens especially when moving/zooming the map. Fix that and it's a winner!
