iFly GPS Forum

Me too, same version & date.  So I deleted all my charts, force-refreshed the database, re-downloaded all the (hi-res) charts again, then tried the chart selection button.  Still doesn't work right.  So I stopped iFly, and restarted -- didn't fix it. 

But it's weird: I did get it to display the "natural" & "forced" appelations.  But just a couple times out of tens of attempts.  What happened is I put it in TAC mode, and that didn't do it, but then I changed the zoom level and checked again, and there they were ("forced" and "natural").  After many, many more attempts I got it to do it again -- once.

I can get it to work right more often when working around SLC (vs. SEA).  But it's still inconsistent.  And it still mis-reports that Sectional is selected even if TAC is the selected chart.

If you have a consistent step-by-step then let me know so I can try the same thing.  Also let me know your zoom levels at each step.

Anyway, I would think that if I'm zoomed way in and I have previously selected Sectional it should report (when I click on the button) that TAC is natural and Sectional is forced.  And if I'm zoomed out to a reasonable Sectional level and I have previously selected TAC, it should report that Sectional is natural and TAC is forced.  Consistently.  Furthermore, it should not ever report that Sectional is the selection when I have just selected TAC and then immediately pressed the button again.  It does however report the selection correctly if Sectional or WAC were the ones selected.  Though it's still not saying natural or forced for those either on a consistent basis.

But if it's working right for others then there's something screwed up on my Windows machine.

Thanks! My observations, starting from the top of your images and working down:

• At zoom level 24 I get the same choices (none) as you do when I click the button.
• At 23, it shows WAC as being selected (the same), but I don't get any "Toggle WAC Seam" option (not the same).
• At 22, Sectional now shows in the list (same), with WAC selected (same).
• At 19, TAC now shows in the list (same), with Sectional selected (same).
• At 15 (or anything lower), TAC is an option but is never automatically selected (not the same).
• At 12 & 11, I don't get the Show Airport Diagram option (not the same). BTW, I was centered on PAE, which does have a diagram.
• At 21, I also selected Sectional and the map changed to that. But when using the button again, it does not show WAC as "natural" and Sectional as "forced" (not the same).

As I mentioned before, I can select a different map than what is displayed by default, and it does change the map, so that part works fine.  And if the map I chose is Sectional or WAC it will show that as being selected.  But it never does that if I select TAC -- it never shows it as selected even though that's the map being displayed.  And regardless of map selected it rarely says "normal" or "forced" as it should.

I think something's messed up for me if no one else has this issue.  Anyone else?
