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...

A very strong second for this to happen... Thanks Mike!

IMHO, the current pricing is still a bargain. Taking into consideration all the improvements to the app over the last year or so the price for the product is well justified. Keep up the good work!

Installed smoothly - AND it runs in full screen mode! I do have one request - can we add a "legend" for the altitude flight planning view - having the airspaces and weather (cloud tops?) in view is nice, but honestly I can't always remember what all the color gradients mean.
