Xavion is an iPad app that Austin wrote to give weather and guidance to pilots while flying real aircraft. Xavion downloads huge amounts of real weather data, both from the internet and the FAA’s ADSb system, and displays it to the pilot in a manner easy to digest in the middle of a flight.
See below for the some of the weather that Xavion can get. You can use this app in the real airplane or on the ground, driven by X-Plane! This represents the foundation on which the next generation of X-Plane weather rendering will be built. Download Xavion on the App Store here!
