Re: IFR/DP/STAR fixes

Hi Brian,

Thanks for responding.

I set the screen width to 4.2 miles and I still don't see the intersections...I see the obstructions though.

I am running 9.3.26 with the VFR-only subscription om a Google Nexus 7 v2. Is the IFR subscription required to display the intersections...or a newer version?

Thanks,

Dave

You probably need the latest beta version. I see them using 9.4.21b

Considering how small they are, I think two levels further out would be about right. At the level that they appear at now, it's hard to find the fixes before the airport is off the screen.

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.

I can see them on my IPad Mini 4 zoomed to 2.8 nm. I'm not sure what value they are for VFR flying, especially zoomed in that far. Why would a VFR pilot ever want or need these? For IFR pilots, they are on the plates.
