I installed the new Windows software and have to admit, it is even better than I expected.  While I fly with a Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 tablet, the Win 10 software will be a huge time saver when it comes to flight planning.  Having a keyboard and mouse to set up flights is much easier for me than poking around on the tablet.  I synced my Windows created Flgith plans to my tablet but am finding a couple of items that are not synching properly.  The Custom Waypoints created on the Win PC were not added to the tablet with the name that I gave them.  Instead of a name they are listed as Waypoint #X and do not show on the tablet's sectional map display at all.   Also, none of the other custom waypoints created on the Win PC and not yet part of a flight plan are shown or listed on the tablet after synchronizing.

I think sharing of custom waypoints is in the works.

I spoke to someone at AP and they indicated that the custom waypoint data was being synched with the flight plan data.  I think that  AP statement was probably incorrect.  I would like some clarification about that.  Flight plans synching without the waypoints is a major shortcoming.

The iFly Sync menu includes:

Flight Plans

Main User Settings

Instrument Layouts

Flight Trails

Filed Flight Records

Debug Logs

I don't use any custom waypoints, but I thought I read several people requesting waypoints to be synced.

I just installed the Windows iFly package and have noticed the following -

Right clicking and pasting does not work in the registration fields - email address specifically.

The windowing, minimizing/maximizing, and closing controls are not in the upper right corner.

I don't know if these are by design, keeping the interface exactly like the tablets, or they just haven't gotten there yet . . .
