Uh, to use this software you must download the bridge app from their website. Which does not appear to exist anymore. So I suppose I will try to get a refund, unless anybody can steer me towards a copy of the app.

If you want to practice autopilot this is your golden ticket! Altitude changes, gps navigation, heading mode, vor mode, approach mode, you name it. Much cheaper to learn these modes on this app than in a sim or in the plane. Yes thereβs a glitch or two but you can practice autopilot RNAV approachβ¦

Very confusing with no instructions
