Your subscription model will kill your app. I've had it for years and lately has lost all its appeal. The free version used to have good features without being behind a paywall but now is ridiculous. $5 a month or $159.99 lifetime (excluding the sale offer) for this app? X-Plane 11 is at $30 and X-Plane 12 is at $36.99 on Steam. You could argue that if you don't have a computer for a sim you might choose the app, but if you are in aviation you do and will have the resources for it. Uninstalling.

Thank you for your feedback, José. Monetizing the app is essential to maintain development, improve features, and add new ones. However, I understand your frustration as an early user. Please contact us at maihoffapps@gmail.com so we can find a solution. Your support over the years is greatly appreciated, and we value your input.

The app seems really good and well polished but unless I'm mistaken. I can't find a way to get dme to vors which makes shooting most approaches to practicing point to points not really possible. If there is a way to take it out of ndb mode that would be awesome but until then it seems the use cases are limited. (This is with the pro subscription as well)

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback. Direct VOR and VOR/DME navigation is absolutely possible on IFR Simulator. You can do this by using the NAV1 and NAV2 slots. Please feel free to contact support@ifr-simulator.com for further support. Attaching screenshots might help identifying issues. Best regards

Update- having a problem where pausing blurs the screen. Dev reached out and is addressing! Can't say enough good things about Tobias! He's super responsive and cares that his app is running smoothly!Update- talked to developer and it seems as though some avionics display the roll pointer/bank scale differently! Dev is adding selection feature! Overall great app for understanding how to use an HSI, determine position, intercept courses etc.

Thanks for your feedback, can you please contact maihoffapps@gmail.com so I can send you examples showing that the turn indicator indeed moves into the correct direction? Best regards Tobias from IFR Flight Simulator
