Aircraft Horizon [legacy - see new app: fDeck] APK Download for Android

Description

** LEGACY NOTICE: **
The developers latest, integrated flight deck, fDeck: flight instruments is now available. It is recommended that you use fDeck as this will receive all future updates and support.

NOTICE: This app is heavily dependent on your devices available hardware sensors, version of the Android operating system and last but not least, your device vendors software. For this reason, the app can behave with different results on different devices.

Aircraft horizon is the most advanced artificial horizon on the marketplace.

It fuses data from your devices accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer sensors to provide you with accurate pitch and roll information depicted as a typical aircraft artificial horizon.

Features:
- Sensor fused, accurate pitch and roll via internal accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer sensors
- Linear acceleration compensated - it is accurate whilst moving (with appropriate sensors)
- Automatically selects the best available sensors to use from those available on your device
- Filtered, smoothed and reactive display - no jitter or jumping!
- 'Pitch level' levels the horizon to your installation
- Supports multiple screen resolutions
- Supports display in both portrait and landscape orientations

Usage:
Aircraft Horizon is very simple to use. Pitch and roll is dynamically shown when you move your device. Using the menu, you can pitch level based upon your installation, switch between portrait and landscape modes and toggle debug data on and off.

I'm a professional software engineer, part-time android developer and passionate private pilot so would love to hear your thoughts, feature requests and bug reports.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★Bought and tried the app on my Sony Xperia S. Looks good tilting it on the ground, but once in the air, the readings are totally false. I suppose it uses the accelerometers, and cannot distingwish an increased G-force from a turn, from one caused by the elevator. Totally usesless for me. Are there Android phones with gyros? Which? I will try it in my Nexus 7 also.

2 ★On a Samsung Galaxy it doesn't work in an airplane. I already knew which way the floor was. Quite nice for measuring angles on the ground.

1 ★Cool, doesn't work on anything now! Did you guys put a time out, even on the paid version?

1 ★Installed on my nexus 7 and it shows a bank to the left when you turn right in a car.. In an airplane it's totally useless........ It's a Parlor instrument........

1 ★It works on the ground but when i tried using it in my aircraft in flight it didn't work.

1 ★Doesn't work in flight! Useless for me. Samsung S2

4 ★It's a shame that some devices can't match the app's ability but as a backup, it's fine.

5 ★I use this all the time in my aircraft when i fly, very useful and accurate too

3 ★Works great on my galaxy tablet, but won't work at all on my note with 4.2.1 :-(

4 ★Best

5 ★The sooth movement is outstanding and realistic.

5 ★Hello, Very nice presentation, very fluid, I like it. However some false: in case of drift, the horizon tilts. under acceleration or deceleration, the horizon moves up or down. A small ball that would be great ;-). Nice work.
