Austin Answers your questions about Xavion

This is a follow-up to the Xavion video we did about 10 days ago. You had questions...we have answers. Stay to the end to hear about a new feature that has just been added.

For people in the USA, get a good PC for X-Plane at

Note: There is some slight video noise (horizontal line) in the middle section of the video we are aware of, but should not detract from the experience.

This guy is so awesome. He is so passionate about all of this.

Austin is just over flowing with knowledge, What a fantastic instructor he would be.

I just love this guy. You gonna get frustrated, then move to Argentina.

I noticed in the last video, the emergency glide scenario had Austin circle away from the airport. Wouldn't the safest solution be to circle towards/over the airport?

In case of iPad failure, could you not switch over to your iPhone? Would it be generally difficult to keep two devices ready to use?

Hey Michael, gr8 video by the way, I felt in love with this mix x-plane Tesla video, it was really awesome of you both, can you please ask Austin when will x-plane 11 have a AI traffic that really follows the departing schedule all the way to the destination like Aerosoft does with their AI traffic 360 for Microsoft Flight simulator ?
X-plane needs the AI traffic to go from the gate all the way to its destination gate, at the moment the AI traffic just appear around the plane randomly out of no where, x-plane has more potential then the competition out there .Thanks

About the VR question. I do not have the gear, but I would consider streaming the iPad screen to the PC and maybe then it could be shown in the VR. However there would be no way to interact with it in the VR. I think the streaming is called mirroring. This would be all completely 3rd party applications and configuration.

Xavion was an amazing band in the late 80s- “Love Games” my favorite

Does Xavion differentiate between classes of 3D airspace by color in the same way it is depicted on a VFR chart? I haven't had the chance to really go through the app yet.

What size iPad is Austin using with that stay level panel?

[JPZurek]

What is that panel he is using? Is that Stay Level Avionix or something else?

[RC-airspace]

Wow my question got answered !! if i asked a question about Microsoft flight would the team reply I'm thinking most definitely all other simulations are toys compared to x plane

👍🙏🏻❤️ for rooting for Tesla and love your app😉 ..I have S 3 X and love them!

If I want to get a second iPad to mount on my C172 yoke to run Xavion, which one should I go for? (The primary iPad runs ForeFlight on my lap)

About the Tesla fire thing, I guess things need to be in proportion. How many gasoline cars are in use and what proportion do catch on fire?. Now do the same with Tesla cars.

Hello Mr. Meyer, love all that you do especially X-Plane. I switched from Microsoft and P3D after decades of use to X-plane years ago, but I'm writing about Xavion. I'm not a licensed pilot, I've only flown a few real world aircraft including a helicopter, but as an everyday person I think Xavion should be required equipment. At least on commercial flights. I hope I haven't over stepped but just now I reached out to two you-tubers, Captain Petter Hornfeldt from MenTour Pilot and First Officer Kelsey Hughes from 74 Gear. I asked both of them to do a video on Xavion, which I assume they will see as an indispensable addition to safety. If you do not want this then please let me know and I will withdraw my posts to their accounts. Thanks, cheers.

I would get this app if the questions below got some feedback but there isn’t any. Also don’t understand why active TFR’s don’t show up on Xavion 2d map, sounds like an excuse, I’m not giving up that feature which works really well on Foreflight for this thing.

Just another great video from our greatest realism flight sim creator! Now speaking about best glide ratio, you'd probably want to fly at the best lift to drag AoA (of course, when known and shown) only by using the trim (to stop focusing on pulling/pushing the stick and follow speeds) and let the horizontal and vertical speeds settle automatically by themselves, even if a pitch phugoid will develop over a limited period of time.
