The DCS Explorer is a moderate step up from the DCS Remote Commander. It's functionality is equivalent to that of the free app. It is absolutely not as capable as the DCS Remote's control of individual engines.
It lacks a number of individual engines' features, and doesn't handle lashups, TMCC, Legacy, accessories, switch tracks, import/export, or record/playback, as well as lacking other features. It's intended purpose is to get new people into DCS.
It only allows a maximum of 3 engines to be added to the app, although you could operate all 3 simultaneously.
It comes with its own power supply, which is limited to 6 amps total draw, and cannot be used with a higher powered transformer or in passive mode.
Lastly, the single purchase units aren't scheduled to arrive at MTH until mid-January.
