The Cockpit Controls feature is a very useful functionality of SimFly Pad. It allows you to view and control various aspects of your aircraft directly from your mobile device through the beautifully designed panels built into SimFly Pad. All your actions, such as button switches and AP value adjustments in the game and SimFly Pad, will be nearly real-time bidirectional synchronized.
Additionally, with SimFly Pad’s powerful remote streaming capabilities, you can easily use your tablet device as a remote screen, streaming displays like the PFD/ND from your aircraft.
