13.3 announced, but it's still beta?

[Don Norris]

The March newsletter from Adventure Pilot announces that iFly EFB 13.3 is now available. I click on the link to the Windows Download page and there it is - 13.3.22 BETA and it's 15 days old. I wish they would not announce things that are not in reality there yet.
/rant off/.

13.3 has been released to production for Android and iOS devices. These are the devices that most customers are actually flying with.

While AP has expressed intent to support Windows, it's a lower priority for them and v13 has not been fully supported yet. The compromise has been that they've been releasing beta versions for Windows publicly. Some Windows users have been able to use those beta versions with no problems, but some users have reported display issues (black screens instead of a map layer). AP has not yet resolved that display problem so i think that's why they haven't moved it to the production folder and kept it as a beta version.

If you're one of the ones who doesn't have the "black screen" issue, then you should see it perform as well as the Android and iOS versions. You should give it a shot. See this post for the latest as of today: https://adventurepilot.community.forum/threads/version-13-for-windows.624/post-5471
