I was thinking of using bluestacks or Memu. I too would much prefer to use a native windows iFly app, but was curious to see if something would work if we ever needed that option.

Anyone have any luck running the android version of iFly via a emulator on windows?

Just saw this on AvBrief.com - with the change of ownership and layoffs at FF, the fine folks at AvBrief have announced they'll be doing a review of other EFB apps. Hopefully our fearless leaders at iFly have already thrown their(our?) hat in the ring. Looking forward to seeing iFly in the...

I wonder if iFly uses the pressure altitude if a- it's selected in the menu as Cobra reminded me - and b- if it's provided by the adsb device - in my case my wonderful Stratux. Ours provides pressure altitude (at least on the Stratux dashboard). Maybe someone from iFly can chime in and shed...

Actually the difference was 219'. I have changed the newer Android 14 tab to use pressure support, but haven't flown with it to confirm that it now shows the same target altitude. When we were flying, I checked the Stratux properties - the pressure altitude as seen on the Stratux dashboard...

Cobra, Damn you're good. The Android 14 tab was not using Pressure Altitude support, the older Android 8 tab was. They both have an Alt Setting instrument - and I can't say for sure they were reporting or showing the same altitude setting. SO - assuming which is more "accurate"? Tab...

Thanks for chiming in. I'll check those setting first thing in the am.

Out for a flight today with my stock Android 14 tab running Beta 14.017 - and my old but still works great Android 8 tab, running stock iFly 12.2.34. Both tabs are connected via wifi to my Stratux. Both tabs have the same screen layout, and show the same in flight data (speed, AGL, etc)...

We've used our Stratux for many years without issue. Rock steady performance. There there are a few gps brownouts once in a while, but they affect our garmin 430 as well - so it's not the fault of the stratux.

Cobra - thanks for providing the log file location. That's the exact info I needed. Would you please add this to the sticky post regarding how to send a log file in the iFly EFB Support Questions?

I've tried several methods of convincing windows 11 to use gmail without success. I think what I'm asking for is a way for iFly to generate a bug report that can be accessed from different email clients to aid in troubleshooting issues.

I don't use outlook, but when I try to submit a bug report in the windows version iFly defaults to outlook. I'd like to submit a bug report about the latest windows version of iFly. Any suggestions?

FWIW, we strongly prefer the absolute altitude for traffic warnings and displays - I think that Brian has indicated that the user gets to make the choice for the relative/absolute altitude displays.

Just out of curiosity, is this the balloon?

Brian, thanks for the explanation, but my vote is strongly for giving the pilot the option to display the target altitude in feet or in FL's. And here's my reason: we don't fly at FL's - we fly at altitudes in feet. My altimeter shows us how high we are in feet and our current altitude is...
