About SimPlates for Flight Simulator

1. SimPlates has been called "a must have for the serious flight simulator enthusiast" and "a great addition to your flight sim bag" by major flight simulation websites in independent reviews. ++THE VERSION NOW AVAILABLE HERE IS OF THE NEW 'SIMPLATES ULTRA' version which is a great leap forward in terms of plate coverage to the previous generation of SimPlates.

2. As SimPlates is intended for flight simulation entertainment use, the plates are not kept up to date with real-world aviation changes (worldwide subscriptions for real-world current data over $2000 per year elsewhere! ).

3. While SimPlates are real-world plates, they are NOT SUITABLE FOR REAL WORLD FLIGHT OPERATIONS and MUST NOT BE USED FOR REAL WORLD FLIGHT OPERATIONS OF ANY SORT.

4. SimPlates is not a flight simulator program in and of itself, but can be used as a companion on your android tablet or phone-type device concurrently with your enjoyment of your preferred computerized desktop flight simulation program to help expand the realism and excitement of the experience.

5. SimPlates brings you the world’s largest collection of real-world IFR approach (and other) charts for the serious flight simulation enthusiast to your fingertips!

6. SimPlates is useful for virtual pilots of many desktop flight simulation programs, including Flight Simulator (all versions including FSX, FS2004, and MS-Flight), X-Plane, and more.

7. SimPlates includes over 70,000 real-world IFR plates, including approach plates, SIDs/STARs (Departures/Arrivals), Airport Diagrams, Approach types include ILS, VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, LLZ, SDF, GPS, TACAN, Helicopter and Visual.

8. However, for serious flight simulation entertainment use, the massive collection of plates represents incredible value and capability.

9. We're glad you're enjoying the massive number of plates (way more than any other sim product has - including expensive subscription bases services) and we continue to update the plate database further with more plates still. !!!

10. For most countries and major airports of the world, if you are looking for a plates, SimPlates will likely have it.

11. As you virtually approach an airport on your computer, bring up its corresponding plates in the SimPlates app.

SimPlates Customer Insights

1. I should have got a refund the moment I installed the app and had problems with itDoesn't work, charts are apparently downloaded but not shown.BrilliantIt it possible to add some plates to it?Was great until I did an update of the database and now when it opens to the main screen I'm stuck because clicking on anything causes the app to crash on Android tablet 'unfortunately simplates has stopped'.

2. Great tool for simulating having the charts in your virtual flight bag.

3. Great app for simers.In most instances the charts are up to date.

4. Easy to find any airport ok I just logged in my Adobe cloud so that worksJust a compilation of PDFs that can sourced independently from the Internet.

5. Great service thanks.This downloads the plate as a PDF which I think means they can be used when no Internet.

6. Excellent Flight simmer aid and have been using it for yeas with MSFS FSX and 2020 and with X-Plane 12.

7. Aerodrome charts and approach plates are almost always correct.

8. UPDATE: reinstalled and the downloaded update again, now it is good.

9. Missing a few new SID and STAR charts from YBBN.

10. I recommend it.Crashes constantly and if it doesn't crash, it says the files are corrupted.

11. SIDS and STARS can be out of date, but that's the point really.
