Laminar Research has released an iPad version of its acclaimed X-Plane application. X-Plane for iPad combines many of the features of the X-Plane series of iPhone apps into a single application; the iPad version includes all 9 regions and 13 aircraft from the existing iPhone applications with 12 more regions and 27 more aircraft listed as “Coming Soon.” Users can choose to fly a wide range of different aircraft types including a Cessna 172, Boeing 747, F-22, ASK21 glider, Blackhawk Helicopter or even a Space Shuttle. Due to the larger iPad screen and more powerful CPU on the iPad, X-Plane can now display a full virtual cockpit view and more detailed, higher-resolution aircraft textures and terrain, including 3D buildings. Virtual cockpit interfaces also provide more detailed and completely interactive controls. X-Plane for iPad is available from the App Store for $10.

I downloaded the update for xplane for iPad last week. Ever since then it loads but does not run. I had also downloaded the space launch app.
Is there a fix available? Help.

I downloaded X-Plane on my I-pad. It worked fine until you released an update about a week ago. Now it loads, shows the X-Plane log, and then the screen goes blank. Then it exits from the application.
We also downloaded the moon launch app with it.
Is there a fix coming? How can I get it to work again?
