Mike:

Flying traffic here in SoCal is very crowded airspace.

I didn't mean to say I would be gliding down through and overcast as practice. I was referring to having an engine failure.

My ADSB would help me avoid a midair in that event. I have already survived a midair and don't want to try my luck again.

98% of the time I fly with at least one wingman on cross-countries. This is especially important in the backcountry strips. We all have ADSB and don't use flight following.

Dave:

Sorry to say that while we can scroll smoothly in Sketch/Pan, you can't use many functions like tapping on an airport and getting an information box.

Back to the drawing board...

To get back to a smooth pan I had to uninstall the latest sketch version of IFLY and load the pre-sketch version.

Now I can pan smoothly.

Is the planned patch for 10.3 still a go? I saw a post from Brian a few minutes ago saying that the fix for jerky pan is now set for 10.4 with a link to 10.2 if one wanted to fix it now, but that requires a complete uninstall.

I complaned about the jerky behavior soon after 10.3 came out, and Brian indicated at that time some other performance inhancements added in 10.3 were thought to be causing the behavior.

I would really like to see smooth panning but don't want to do a complete uninstall to get to the pre-sketch version. Patch please.

C177RG: iFly 720, Stratux 978/1090 ADS-B in, AHRS, BMP, Stratus ESG ADS-B out. RV-3: 8" Samsung Tab A, Stratux 978/1090 ADS-B in, AHRS, BMP, Stratus ESG ADS-B out.
