Maybe, but isn't it just simpler to let you, as the PIC, "pick" your own altitude? And with the recent enhancements, you can input a different altitude for each segment! Also, don't forget: that rule only applies above 3000 ft AGL -- so different in the flatlands than it is in the mountains...

Interesting. I've been running .47 on a DELL Inspiron 16 Plus, and haven't had either of those problems. There is a new version about to be released though...maybe that will solve it for you. OR, pain in the butt that it is, you could try a "clean" install. Just make sure to wipe out everything...

Maybe, but would you have preferred the 'frog in boiling water approach' and have had it go up by 5% a year over the last 5 years? Would it have made a real difference? Fuel is up, Maintenance is up, and look at what a Spark Plug costs now! I don't think you will find a better alternative that's...

Im with you, but we are in the minority. Most CAPpers use FF. Did talk w Development about this several years ago; it either fell off the priority list or just became a non-priority... so much other stuff that ranks higher for so many other users.

Same issue, but there's an easy fix: just set your LANDING airports, for fuel or bladder, at your comfort range. No harder than picking a waypoint to check speed and time. @mhcrowder : Saw a T shirt at OSH that captured this perfectly: "A mile in a car gets you one mile further, a mile in the...

FWIW, I have a Samsung A-7 (bought at Costco for $100 on sale) that I've run for 3 years w no issues; just bought an A-9 off Amazon about 3 months ago for about same price w 64 GB...Model is X-110, which is an international model 8" tablet. You'll see some nonsense about it being hard to get set...

@ctflier Try signing into your profile, and just remove the credit card. Or, as suggested, give them a call when the office is open; they're good folks and always happy to help IME. I had a sim issue, and just called them; they applied the discount and extended the expiration appropriately. Simple.

If you go into Map Mode and pull up the WX layers, you'll see that what you see here in the Veritcal view corresponds to that. Indeed, the lines are the top are Flight Rules (Green=VFR, etc.) The Cloud "boxes" show the altitude clouds are at, so in the example you posted, if you fly at 6K you...

Easiest way is probably to install iFly on the new tablet, then use Synch to have the new tab synch all your files over from the old tab. See MENU, SETUP, SYNCH DEVICES.

Realistically, what we REALLY need is a Flight Plan Management System; with the ability to see the FP files by name with create/mod. dates, to open them if we wish in iFly, and the ability to create custom folders, and/or move plans between folders with the usual add/edit/delete/copy features...

IMHO, a short "PIREP" might be a good add: maybe you want to say something about large cracks in the asphalt, or gopher-holed turf; maybe that the courtesy is INOP (or just doesn't exist after all). And fuel price chgs (although it would be handier just to edit that in the airport description)...

In you Flight Plan click on More Options at bottom left. You will have option to export the plan to email. On WtBal, not so easy, but you could create the WB record, then screenshot it and attach to email.

Alt Tape and bug already exists in instrument selection dialog. I have that, Gspeed and Vspeed tapes displayed on my EFIS presentation. Lots of customization capabilities...try em out.,😊

Also experienced that. Looks like a number of them just disappeared.... might be able to use Synch Devices to get them back, as they should still be in the cloud attached to one of your device records.

Awesome! enjoyed your pics and story....
