About In-Flight Assistant

Add a whole new dimension of realism to your Infinite Flight experience with this polished, third-party add-on to Infinite Flight, the best mobile flight sim on the App Store!

Hear over 30 co-pilot voice samples during your flight, whether it's takeoff callouts like "V₁", "Rotate!", or "Positive Rate", or whether it's warnings when speed limits are being approached, or confirmation callouts when setting flaps or gear settings.

In-Flight Assistant is NOT a flight simulator itself but rather requires Infinite Flight to provide voice callouts and realistic automated warnings for your flights.

Check out a 7-minute video of the app in action at: http://www.inflightassistant.info

====================
HOW IT WORKS

Start In-Flight Assistant, then launch Infinite Flight on the same device - you'll hear a confirmation that In-Flight Assistant is connected. It will now be watching your flight and provide the callouts as you configured them within the app. It's that simple!

====================
CO-PILOT CALLOUTS

The following callouts are provided:

• "80 knots"
• "V₁"
• "V₂"
• "Rotate"
• "Positive Rate"
• "Let's watch our speed, captain" warning when taxiing or flying too fast
• "Gear up/down" confirmation
• "Flaps at XXX degrees" / "Flaps Final" confirmations
• Spoiler status
• 4 voices, including Mark 'Skyhawk Heavy' Denton!
• Autofill feature for v-speeds (NEW)

=============
PASSENGER ANNOUNCEMENTS (IN-APP PURCHASE)

* Welcome aboard announcement
* Arm doors for departure & cross-check
* Safety briefing
* Flight attendants, take seats for takeoff (when turning on strobes)
* "You may move about the cabin now, etc."
* Descent beginning
* Welcome post-landing

=============
RUNWAY AWARENESS AND ADVISORY SYSTEM (IN-APP PURCHASE)

* "APPROACHING RUNWAY 12R", "ON RUNWAY 12R"
* "CAUTION TAXIWAY"
* "FLAPS FLAPS"
* "UNSTABLE UNSTABLE"
* "TOO HIGH TOO HIGH"
* "TOO FAST TOO FAST"
* Many more..

====================
AUTOMATED GPWS WARNINGS, FLIGHT ALERTS, SIMPLE VNAV (IN-APP PURCHASE)

Experience fully-featured GPWS warning callouts such as "TOO LOW, GEAR", "SINK RATE", or "PULL UP!" - in accordance with the specification of the real-world Honeywell MK VI GPWS system - with all 6 modes supported, including turboprop alternative settings (automatically detected), Steep Approach Bias, Flap Override settings, and more.

(NEW) Also provides a waypoint proximity alert system and a simplified "VNAV" system where you can set altitudes and speeds you want the autopilot to have per waypoint!

The following callouts are provided:

• Autopilot disconnect warning sound (Airbus / Boeing)
• "GLIDESLOPE" both quiet and loud, depending on how low you are
• "SINKRATE"
• "PULL UP! PULL UP!"
• "TERRAIN! TERRAIN!"
• "DON'T SINK"
• "TOO LOW, TERRAIN"
• "TOO LOW, GEAR"
• "TOO LOW, FLAPS"
• "APPROACHING MINIMUMS"
• "MINIMUMS" or "MINIMUMS, MINIMUMS" (configurable)
• "BANK ANGLE" based on aircraft type, altitude, speed, autopilot setting, etc.
• "RETARD, RETARD" when landing in an Airbus

=============
VOICE COMMANDS (IN-APP PURCHASE)

Using a headset mic, use voice commands to control many of the airplane's systems! Once it is set up, In-Flight Assistant will be listening for your voice to say things like "gear up", "set heading 2-3-0", and much more, and your co-pilot will set the autopilot settings for you!

IMPORTANT A headset and a quiet environment is recommended for best accuracy. The stronger your non-American accent, the less accurate the recognition may work.

====================
THANKS

Huge thanks to the entire Infinite Flight community for their amazing support, as well as Laura & Infinite Flight for providing an awesome API that makes apps like this one possible.

Additional thanks to Cam (maker of LiveFlight) for his open-source API examples.

Thanks to Jan (www.helpathand.nl) for his audio engineering assistance!

May 20, 2019
CORE
- The v-speed update is here at NO EXTRA CHARGE! Auto-fill your aircraft's "v-speeds" by tapping the "autofill" button after entering a flight in Infinite Flight! When your co-pilot says "Rotate" during takeoff, slowly pull back on the rudder for a silky smooth takeoff!

PASSENGER ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Tweaked Passenger Announcements: Activating your seatbelt sign will trigger the welcome announcement. Using your throttle will now start the safety briefing.
- Alternatively, if "Pushback Active" is on, then pushback will activate the welcome announcement, otherwise starting an engine will activate the welcome announcement.
- Turning off your seatbelt sign while climbing will now activate the "Safe to move about the cabin" announcement.
1.070
Dec 17, 2018
- 2 entirely new co-pilot voices: Misha and Scott! Included at no extra cost!
- FIXED: airplanes with no gear option like c208 had issues when the gear needed to be down for a callout

PA:

- PA auto-resets between legs. To do so, park at a gate and completely turn off your engines (all engines must be at 0%)
- FIXED: changes to the "initial altitude" were not adopted on-the-fly, leading to callouts like the landing announcement sometimes not coming correctly.

RAAS:

- excluded Pushback from runway detection

VNAV:

- distance between waypoints is now shown instead of the GPS coordinates.

Apr 11, 2018
Thanks for your patience everyone! This is a nice, big, new update for you. Hope you like it - and if so, I'd be thankful for ratings and reviews!

WHAT'S NEW

* New Flight Alerts system - on iPhone, go to the "More" tab to find it. This Flight Alerts system is included with your GPWS add-on purchase - if you already have it, this update is included for free!
* New callouts for 28° and 50° flaps settings.
* New “Pushback First” option for Passenger Announcements: If this is on, you will get the “First Welcome” at Pushback and the “Safety Briefing” when you start your engines. If it is off, you will get the “First Welcome” when you start your engines and the “Safety Briefing” when you start moving.
* New chime and setting “Altitude Reached” which comes when you are within 1000 feet of the autopilot altitude
* Fix for Voice Command Test not requesting recording permission
* Fix for rare random “Minimums” callouts
* Most importantly and excitingly (for some of you), a slightly different sounding “RETARD” callout. ;-P
* (1.051) fixed an embarrassing bug (so embarrassing I won't even explain it)

HOW TO USE NEW FLIGHT ALERTS AND NAV SYSTEM:

* First set a flight plan in Infinite Flight. Then enter the Flight Alert page. Your flight plan will show up.
* Tap a row's alarm bell button to set a proximity alert for that waypoint. Enter how many nm's away you want to be notified.
* Tap a row's altitude or speed area to set an altitude or speed you want the autopilot to set when the plane is headed toward that waypoint. The V/S will be calculated for you.
* Speed settings will be auto-limited to 250kts below 10,000 feet to attempt help you avoid speed warnings
* NOTE: Enter a double digit number to enter a Mach speed. (79 = 0.79 Mach, for example)
* NOTE: Just as in real life, you will normally want to still monitor your flight and double-check your settings. The system is well-tested, but if you screw up your settings, you will screw up your flight! :-)

* Silent mode for the hearing impaired / deaf - under "More", turn the volume slider down to 0 and instead of spoken callouts, you'll get notifications instead.
* Global compatibility (Passenger Announcements watch your engines for first welcome, couple of bug fixes, etc.)
* A couple voice samples had fragments of other voice samples, etc.
* Turning on Replay or starting in the air now confuses the poor co-pilot a little less
* Go-arounds and touch-and-go's should also work better now
* Passenger Announcement "Disable All" button for quicky disabling/re-enabling flight attendant announcements
* Decision Height is now set in AGL to stop people from posting 1-star reviews because they don't understand the difference between MSL and AGL.
* Can now switch between "80 knots" and "100 knots" as co-pilot callout for takeoff
