Hi Tony, Thanks for pointing this out. This issue is corrected in the upcoming version 13 release. Thanks! Walter

We're are preparing for our next iFly EFB Workshop, and would love to hear your thoughts. Any questions you would like answered? Any topics you would like us to focus on? Any other thoughts on how we can make these workshops more effective? BTW, if you missed the last one, it's available on...

Finally, T-Routes are included in the upcoming release!

Yes, iFly would use the GPS from the ADSB feed anytime it's connected to ADSB. If disconnected it would fail back to using the internal GPS if there is one, but as long as you have a reliable ADSB system you will be fine.

Well noted, I think this is fixed in the next version. But will report to dev just to make sure.

SkyPilot, With your antenna puck properly positioned, it's unlikely your Echo would lose a GPS lock (unless there is jamming taking place). But the WiFi connection from the Echo is another matter - it's a bit sketchy. We've seen other devices drop & reconnect wifi randomly on the Echo. If...

Check this: Flight Plan > More Options > Sync with iFlightPlanner. Are you setup to sync? If so, that might be what's popping the Please Wait. Let me know, if so I'll load this as a bug.

In the windows version you can import sketches as KML files. Tools > Sketch > Import KML. You might give this a try - if it works you can sync the sketch to your other devices. KML is a loose format so not sure how well it will translate.

Correct. Actually we do have this ability now if you have an iLevil AW ADSB receiver, it has the ability to accept an NMEA feed from our app and send it through a serial cable. But we hope to have a wireless solution that isn't so expensive.

Android and iOS don't natively support RS232 serial cables. So any cable you use requires proprietary coding to support it directly from the app, and may also require specific drivers which may require specific OS versions. Bottom line: It's very difficult to support hard-wired serial output...

FYI: The iFly EFB Aviation Tablet will have a hard-wired method of transmitting NMEA data to an autopilot. We are also working on a wireless solution that would work for most other smart devices via bluetooth.

Hey guys, quick update on the iFly EFB Aviation Tablet: It's available on our store for preorder now. I've added Specifications and FAQ tabs which have a bunch more info. We will begin shipping the first batch in early October, anyone that preorders will get one of those. And of course...

Yes, contact the support team they will give you instructions - [email protected]. Thanks!

Chad, I love your suggestion.

We've tested and confirmed the code works, and I expect it will work for you. But Windows is tricky in that the combination of possible hardware and OS versions make exhaustive testing of a hardware specific feature difficult. And it's not something many people fly with, it's typically used...
