Some ROUTERS are blocking multicast WIFI transmissions... which X-Plane uses to connect to Control Pad.
This update lets you connect to X-Plane even if your router blocks multicast WIFI transmissions... as long as you enter the IP address of your iPad into X-Plane.
1.28
2021-04-19
A few more networking diagnostics to show you if Control Pad is hearing anything at all from any other computer or even iPad or iPhone.. or even hearing it's OWN beacon!
1.27

Bug fix: Airport, NAVAID, and fix data is now more reliably delivered from X-Plane to Control Pad.

Now global map, which is kind of nice.
Other recent new stuff:
Synthetic vision improvements..
Also various UI tweaks and improvements in setting altitudes and saving and loading situations and finding commands to send to X-Plane.
Customize what failures you want to see. In the failures screen simply hit the "FAILURES AVAIL" button and select whichever failures you want to appear in the list of failures... and de-select whichever ones you don't!

New terrain map and synthetic vision.
Various UI tweaks and improvements in setting altitudes and saving and loading situations and finding commands to send to X-Plane.
Customize what failures you want to see. In the failures screen simply hit the "FAILURES AVAIL" button and select whichever failures you want to appear in the list of failures... and de-select whichever ones you don't!
1.22
2021-03-23
Now the airport, NAVAID, and fix data is saved on the device, so you have the data even if a networking issue stops that data from coming from X-Plane each launch.
1.21
2021-03-12
Now you can control MANY copies of X-Plane all at once!
1.20
2020-09-18
Small performance and interface tweaks to speed usability.
1.19
2020-03-10
Larger map area, to cover the longer flights.
Tuning in map colors, to make the map easier to read in all brightness situations and interface settings.
1.18
2020-02-15
Now with more robust connections to copies of X-Plane, in case your firewalls are blocking the X-Plane beacons.
This allows you to connect to X-Plane even in cases where the X-Plane beacon is blocked by your router or other firewall.
Just check the box for Control Pad in X-Plane and enter the control pad IP address to connect in this case.
1.17
2020-02-14
Now with terrain on the MAP screen, to help orient you to coastlines and mountains.
All airports, NAVAIDs, etc, remain in place.
1.16
2020-02-11
New resolution upgrades for newer iPad Pros... This matters a lot for the big simulators that have many copies of X-Plane running on a multi-projector system.
8 hours of path data instead of 30 minutes.
Weather layout improved to be a bit quicker to control.
Bug fix: Airport approach selections working.
1.15
2020-02-03
Just bug fixes: No fuel set to zero on startup, and some other minor tweaks and fixes.
1.14
2019-08-30
Now dragging your airplane on the map works better: You can drag the plane on the map without limit and then X-Plane only resets the flight when you RELEASE your finger from the pad.
This stops X-Plane from getting paused for long periods by many map-placements.
1.13
2019-08-23
Now there is a new CMD menu!
In this menu, type in any command that exists in X-Plane, and then hit the button to send it!
Bang.
That command will be sent to X-Plane.
Use it to send any command to X-Plane you can imagine, for any reason at all.
This is what lets you do anything in X-Plane that I did NOT think of in the default interface.
1.12
2019-06-21
Networking improvements with X-Plane.
Bug fix where multiple airports and fixes and NAVAIDs of the same ID in different parts of the world could be confused is now fixed.
1.11
2019-04-29
Bug fix!
Previous version only gave access to MOST of the failures in X-Plane... this updated gives access to ALL the failures!
1.10
2019-04-26
Various UI tweaks and map de-cluttering just to maximize ease of use,.
Weather is saved in Control Pad so you come back to the same weather you left on the next flight.
1.09

This version simply has more memory allocation to handle MORE failures, which will be coming in future versions of X-Plane!
1.08
2017-10-04
Minor UI tweaks to support all X-Plane aircraft on all iOS device sizes.
1.07
2016-12-02
Control Pad 1.07 now works with X-Plane 11!
The Profile View now does a better job of knowing what approach you are trying to fly, to plot the profile of the approach more accurately.
We now have "Quick-Set" buttons for the WEATHER:
"CAVOK", "VFR", "MVFR", "IFR NON-PREC", and "IFR CAT-1", so you can quickly set the weather to some nice defaults.
